CHICAGO — Billionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who built her fortune in the Windy City, joined the mocking of JD Vance’s “cat lady” comments Wednesday.
In one of many surprise speeches scheduled at the last minute on the third night of the Democratic National Convention, Winfrey was met with thunderous cheering and applause. She noted that Americans don’t tend to discriminate on the basis of race, religion or sexual orientation when it comes to rescuing a neighbor from a house fire.
“And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady,” she added, “Well, we try to get that cat out, too.”
