JD Vance defends ‘childless cat ladies’ comments – and blasts Jennifer Aniston for ‘disgusting’ remarks

JD Vance has defended his sexist comments branding Kamala Harris and other women “childless cat ladies” and is now trying to flip the narrative by accusing Jennifer Aniston of making “disgusting” remarks about his daughter.

Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick continues to face backlash after a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News resurfaced and went viral last week.

The controversy has also sparked some talk within Republican circles that party members – and possibly even Trump – are now regretting having the Ohio senator on the ticket against Kamala Harris and her as of yet unknown vice presidential pick this November.

Now, Vance is doing the rounds trying to explain away his misogynistic remarks.

On Friday, Vance brushed off his comments as “sarcasm” in an interview with Megyn Kelly – before appearing to reconsider this by saying “it is true”.

“People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance, and the substance of what I said, Megyn—I’m sorry, it is true,” he said.

Vance claimed he was trying to argue that Democrats are “anti-family” and “anti-family”.

“The simple point I made is that having children – becoming a father, becoming a mother – I really do think it changes your perspective in a pretty profound way. This is something, of course, we’ve recognised for hundreds of years in this country – that human civilisation has always recognised,” he said.

“This is not about criticizing people who, for various reasons, didn’t have kids. This is about criticizing the Democratic Party for becoming anti-family and anti-child.”

Vance then went on to slam Aniston after she criticized him for his comments.
