Vance: 'Boneheaded' cat-ladies remark admitted in memoir
TL;DR
In his forthcoming memoir Communion, Vice President JD Vance says his 2021 remark calling Kamala Harris and other Democrats "childless cat ladies" was boneheaded and purposely provocative, a stumble that distracted from his point about concerns over declining birth rates. The book also traces his faith journey, recounts a meeting with Pope Francis, and frames his abortion stance within the post-Roe era, noting his opposition to Ohio’s 2023 abortion-rights referendum even as it passed.
