The Ohio senator appeared on Fox News ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ in 2021, criticizing Harris and other Democrats as ‘childless cat ladies.’ Harris has two stepchildren with husband Douglas Emhoff.
In the days after Sen. JD Vance completed the Republican presidential ticket and Vice President Kamala Harris moved to the top spot on the Democratic ticket, a video of Vance implying Harris is a miserable, childless cat lady resurfaced online.
Vance appeared on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in July 2021 while he was running for Ohio’s U.S. Senate seat. The video shared by the editor-in-chief of the pro-democracy MeidasTouch Network has more than 18 million views on X less than 24 hours after posting.
Vance also argued in the interview that people without children don’t have a “direct stake” in the future of this country.
Many self-proclaimed cat ladies have shared the video, ridiculing Vance’s stance and affirming their interest in voting.
Others online warned that his comments might grab the attention of one powerful cat lady: Taylor Swift, who has three cats and proudly posts about them on social media.
