Usha Vance Calls Husband’s ‘Childless Cat Ladies’ Remark Just a ‘Quip’

Usha Vance Tried to Clarify JD Vance’s ‘Childless Cat Ladies’ Comment, but It Backfired

In a recent Fox News interview, Usha Vance, wife of Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance, downplayed her husband’s controversial remark about “childless cat ladies.” She suggested that JD Vance’s comment was just a casual remark and was misunderstood.

She claimed that JD Vance’s comment was meant to show empathy for parents, although his actual words did not support this interpretation. JD Vance had previously called out Democrats as “childless cat ladies” who were unhappy with their lives and wanted to spread that misery.

Following the backlash, JD Vance attempted to clarify his statement by claiming it was sarcastic and insisting he had nothing against cats. Despite these attempts, the comment, made during a 2021 Tucker Carlson interview, continued to draw criticism, including a response from Jennifer Aniston, who criticized him for his remarks about those who have struggled with fertility issues.
