Former President Donald Trump has defended his vice-presidential candidate JD Vance after resurfaced 2021 comments in which Vance referred to some Democratic leaders as 'childless cat ladies'. Vance's remarks, which specifically named Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, suggested that Democrats are led by people without children who are miserable and seek to make others miserable. Trump asserted that Vance loves family and that his comments were being taken out of context by Democrats. Vance has since clarified that his criticism was directed at what he perceives as 'anti-child' policies of the Democratic Party rather than individuals who are childless by circumstance. The controversy has garnered significant backlash and dominated the news cycle, with notable figures like Jennifer Aniston and Chelsea Handler condemning Vance's comments. Meanwhile, Trump has continued to emphasize that people without children are just as valuable, stating that Vance's main point was the importance of family values.
