JD Vance Defends Controversial “Childless Cat Ladies” Remarks Amid Backlash from Jennifer Aniston and Political Figures
Guest Post by Miriam Judith
Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance recently faced criticism from actress Jennifer Aniston following comments he made in 2021 about “childless cat ladies” in politics. Vance defended these remarks during a Friday appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, where he addressed the backlash and clarified his position.
In his 2021 comments, Vance criticized political leaders without children, suggesting that they lack a direct stake in the future of the country because they are disconnected from the needs of families and children.
Vance’s remarks, which labeled these leaders as “childless cat ladies,” were meant to highlight what he perceived as a broader disconnect between certain politicians and the interests of American families.
