J.D. Vance’s wife is pushing back against criticism her husband is facing for his “childless cat ladies” remark, saying she wished people wouldn’t focus on the phrase itself.
In a Fox & Friends interview that aired Monday, Usha Vance was asked about the phrase her husband—Donald Trump’s running mate—used during an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show three years ago in which he accused Democratic political leaders and others of being “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made,” adding that the future of the party “is controlled by people without children.”
“I took a moment to look and actually see what he had said, and try and understand what the context was in all that, which is something that I really wish people would do a little bit more often,” Usha Vance told interviewer Ainsley Earhardt of her reaction to the remarks.
