Trump defends Vance's 'childless cat ladies' comment: 'He likes families'
Former President Donald Trump defended his running mate, JD Vance, saying he "likes families" after Vance's "childless cat ladies" comment caused controversy. In a Fox News interview, Trump dismissed criticism, claiming Vance "grew up in a very interesting family situation" and only wanted to express his value for families. Vance, the Ohio senator and vice-presidential nominee, made the disparaging remark in 2021 on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," attacking Democratic figures without children as having no "direct stake" in America's future. The comment went viral last week, prompting responses from celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Whoopi Goldberg. Trump, doubling down, told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that Vance loved families, but also added that being child-free was "just as good." Vance, in a later interview, claimed sarcasm, arguing that society had become "hateful" towards the idea of children and that his comments were aimed at the "anti-family" Democratic Party.
