“It is important for us to be pro-family as a country”

US Senator JD Vance once again set the record straight about his “childless cat ladies” comment that Democrats have turned on him.

Ohio's Republican vice presidential candidate spoke to Fox News host Trey Gowdy about how Democrats have taken his words “out of context” and reiterated the original intent of his 2021 comments.

“If you look at the full context of what I said, it's very clear that the Democrats have tried to take this thing out of context and blow it out of proportion, which is what they always do because they don't have an agenda to run on themselves,” he said. on “Sunday Night in America.”

In a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson, Vance said, “We're effectively run in this country, through the Democrats, through our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless catwomen who are miserable with their own lives and the choices they've made. done, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.”

As examples of this type of figure on the left, Vice President Kamala Harris and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stood out. The resurfaced clip ignited a meltdown as Democrats tried to paint the vice presidential hopeful as disrespectful to women, something the left has struggled to define.

“If you look at what worries the American people the most, it's not an out-of-context joke I made three years ago. It's the fact that Kamala Harris, the border czar, opened the southern American border. It's the fact that the Democratic Party has become explicitly anti-family in some of its policies,” he told Gowdy.

“In fact, you just heard Kamala Harris in a recently released clip talk about how it was a bad idea to have kids because of climate change anxiety, so what I'm trying to get at here is that it's important for us to be professional .- the family as a country, for a number of reasons, it will not work for them family, in general, as a party,” Vance added.

The senator criticized Democrats for their continued anti-child and anti-family rhetoric. On social media, Vance shared a post from Donald Trump Jr. which featured Harris saying how young people have expressed how they feel they have “climate anxiety”. Harris called it “the fear of the future and the unknown of whether it makes sense to even think about having children.”

“It's almost like these people don't want young people to start families or something. Really weird stuff,” Vance wrote in the post accompanying the video, prompting a response from X owner Elon Musk.

“There are a whole host of people who are childless for a host of reasons, and they are certainly great people who can fully participate in the life of this country,” Vance told Gowdy.

“So this is not a criticism and it was never a criticism of everyone without children. This is a lie from the left. It is a criticism of the increasingly anti-father and anti-child attitude of the left,” he later added .

Vance told SiriusXM's “The Megyn Kelly Show” last week: “Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment. I have nothing against cats.” He accused the media of “focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said.”
