Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance dismissed his attack on "childless cat ladies" by calling it a "sarcastic remark."
During a Tuesday rally in Pennsylvania, Vance was told by somebody in the audience that his comments were offensive to "millions of women."
"Now you asked about the remarks that I made that were, you said that they were offensive to millions of women," Vance responded.
"This cat lady loves you!" someone in the audience shouted.
"I love you too," Vance replied. "What I said is very simple. I think American families are good and government policy should be more pro-family."
"Now, if the media wants to get offended about a sarcastic remark I made before I even ran for the United States Senate, then the media is entitled to get offended," he added.
Vance then pivoted to an attack on Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

"I'm offended that Kamala Harris opened up the American southern border and allowed fentanyl to come into our communities," he said. "And I'm offended that she wants to be the people's president, but she won't even answer tough questions."
"And I think that's what most Americans are offended by too."
