J.D. Vance has made it very clear he has nothing against cats, but it seems he has a history of singling out childless Americans.
The GOP vice presidential nominee hit back at his critics after his remarks disparaging “childless cat ladies” resurfaced. He insisted he was simply speaking as a proud family man and insisted the “sarcastic comment” was taken out of context.
However, CNN reports that the Ohio senator has also used the terms “sociopath” and psychotic” to describe people without children.
Vance has claimed his now infamous quote from a 2021 Fox News interview on the Tucker Carlson show when he described Kamala Harris and other women as a “bunch of childless cat ladies miserable at their own lives” was aimed at anti-family Democrats. But some examples quoted by CNN appear to range beyond party political boundaries.
Vance claimed on a conservative podcast in 2020 that the “most deranged” and “most psychotic” users of Twitter, now X, tended to be childless.
