Vance defends comment about "childless cat women"

news.de Vance defends comment about "childless cat women" Story by kns/roj/news.de • 22 hours • 2 minutes reading time Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance has defended his sexist statements about childless women. "The simple argument I made is that having children, becoming a father, becoming a mother, I really believe it changes your perspective. And in a pretty profound way," Vance said in an interview. The media were misrepresenting his statements. Rather, he wanted to make it clear that the Democratic Party had become hostile to families and children. He did not want to criticize women who do not have children. In an interview with Fox News in 2021, Vance, now 39, described leading Democratic politicians - including Vice President Kamala Harris - as "childless cat women" who were dissatisfied with their lives. The comments have now resurfaced on social media and have caused a lot of criticism. Actress Jennifer Aniston (55), who became famous primarily through the series "Friends," wrote, for example: "I really can't believe that this is coming from a potential Vice President of the United States." Vance: Family is more meaningful than career "The thing you are most proud of is the fact that you have children," Vance said when asked about his comments from back then. What gives life the most meaning is family, not achievements like degrees. The senator continued: "When I raised the issue of not having enough babies, many liberals and many leftists said we could just replace American children with immigrants." He has nothing against immigrants and is married to the daughter of immigrants. "But if a society doesn't have enough children to replace itself, that is an extremely dangerous and destabilizing thing." In mid-July, the US Republicans officially appointed Senator Vance, who is married to the daughter of Indian immigrants and has three children, as Donald Trump's running mate for the US presidential election in November. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has been married to Doug Emhoff since 2014, who has a son and a daughter from a previous relationship. Linde Lund - Betty MacDonald fan club Organizer: If J.D. Vance himself takes his statements seriously that family gives life the most meaning and not achievements such as degrees, he should immediately withdraw from politics and take care of his family!
