Confronted once again about his now infamous “childless cat lady” comments, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance insisted to Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker that he not only has no “regrets” but also that his “sarcastic joke” just proves how “normal” he really is.
“Look, I regret certainly that a lot of people took it the wrong way, and I certainly regret the DNC and Kamala Harris lied about it,” Vance began, defensively. But when Welker asked if he regrets what he said, Vance said no.
Noting that he is “going to say things from time to time that people disagree with,” Vance said, “I’m a real person. I’m going to make jokes, I’m going to say things sarcastically. And I think that what’s important is that we focus on the policy.”
