Should JD Vance be in trouble for comments in 2021 about ‘childless cat ladies’?
American Thinker ^ | 07/26/2024 | Andrea Widburg

Leftist women are getting their knickers in a twist about how JD Vance, in 2021, described Kamala Harris and other childless leftist women. The fact is that Vance’s colorful language accurately describes a real and troubling phenomenon amongst a certain segment of childless women (not I hasten to add, all childless women) in America.

Soon after Vance announced his candidacy for the Ohio Senate stated during a speech that “the childless left” isn’t committed to America’s future because, without offspring, leftists have no direct stake in the future. In response to Tucker Carlson’s inquiries, Vance expanded on what he meant by that observation:

We’re effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, 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.

And it’s just a basic fact. You look, Kamala Harris. Pete Buttigieg, AOC—the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?

I just wanted to ask that question and propose that, maybe, if we want a healthy ruling class in this country, we should invest more, we should vote more, we should support more people who actually have kids because those are the people who ultimately have a more direct stake in the future of this country.

The obvious suspects—the leftist childless cat ladies who chose careers over having children—were outraged. A Google search revealed that among those most outraged was actress Jennifer Aniston (55 years old), a Democrat, Aniston’s outrage even made The Hill:

Shall we talk about Biden and his hairy legs? Or Carter and his “ethnically pure” neighborhoods? And then there is Bill Clinton.

RE: What a stupid question to ask.

Yes, it’s stupid, but the Democrats are making an issue out of it. You can bet that it will be made into a campaign issue and will be brought up by moderators in the VP debate.

I admit that my response was curt and - perhaps - easily misunderstood.

I was responding as I would respond to fellow conservatives, but in a public forum (where the walls have ears) - viz. don't engage, don't allow yourself to be drawn into any self-destructive arguments about this, don't allow the opposition to set the agenda.

I am far more concerned about Vance's "America's Hitler" remark - but now is not the time to indulge in any self-flagellation or soul-searching, from which only the Dems would profit.

Now is the time to stand firm and strong and united and win the election!

There will be some caterwauling for sure but it starts to take back the language.

Caterwauling (German: Katzenjammer)! I'm lovin' it! So appropriate for the miserable childless cat ladies!

Totally sexist comment but more importantly, an incorrect one.

Thanks for refuting it, point by point!

Oh, wait! You didn't do that!

He was describing Democrat Karen’s and the ruling class. This is a bunch who want to have it both ways. They wave the bloody shirt of abortion and don’t want to be called on how miserable and awful they are afterwards.

They also want to enlist women on our side who are sensitive about the issue into becoming single issue voters who ignore the plight of the country to scream about Vance.

Jennifer should know that he was not referring to women with fertility problems, but to those who have no desire to procreate and prefer cats to men.

Agree-it was a stupid comment from Vance who is supposed to be smart, the first rule of being a VP is "do no harm" -to be fair this is a comment in the past but Trump's weakest demographic numbers (next to blacks) are with single women and this is the sort of stuff ("feelings) they vote on

Oh, for heaven’s sake. I really AM a childless cat lady and I DO. NOT. CARE. Because I know JD wasn’t talking about ME.

What’s all the hubbub? Geez. Some of y’all are acting as if Jennifer Aniston’s reaction was anything other than political soap opera.

Somewhere along the way growing up, I must have missed some English lessons. What exactly is a cat lady?

I base all my political decisions and organize my beliefs around the opinions of celebrities. Don’t you?

As father of 4, I happen to agree with his larger point on the subject 100% , but he just had to spend 5 minutes on TV explaining himself rather than Trump issues, I worked in the Trump campaigns and too many of too many of my fellow Trumpers do not realize that lots of voters decide to vote based on stupid middle school comments and insults. I’ll admit I was not a Vance fan because I’m about winning and Vance compared Trump to America’s Hitler and if you know anything about campaigns you have to know that will be an effective campaign ad for the lefties. Will lit be lethal, no but it doesn’t help.

If you really wants us to help Trump win put your money where your mouth is and donate $s to the campaign Too many talk a good game but don’t do anything to help win.

If someone doesn’t want to donate directly to the GOP or Trump campaign consider this young man: Scott Pressler he helped defeat Hillary Clinton is registering voters to help Trump win, https://earlyvoteaction.com/
