Democratic strategist James Carville suggested Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) will be fending off criticism over his “childless at ladies” remarks for a long time as Democrats slam the vice presidential candidate’s abortion and reproductive views.
“JD Vance is for something called menstrual surveillance. How much weirder can you get than that?” Carville said on MSNBC’s “The Beat” on Tuesday. “The whole outfit is obsessed and consumed with women’s reproductive decisions. They really are. And that is going to — that whole cat lady thing, man, that’s going to haunt him for a long time.”
Vance is facing an onslaught of attacks from Democrats over resurfaced remarks he made in 2021 criticizing those who don’t have children.
In those remarks, Vance told then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson the country was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”
Seizing on the comment, Democrats have sought to connect it to Vance’s stance on abortion and women’s reproductive rights.
