Vance calls his ‘childless cat ladies’ comment ‘one of the dumbest things I ever said’
Vance says the remark distracted from his abortion message and could have been made with more charity, according to his forthcoming memoir.
- Vice President Vance concedes in his forthcoming memoir, Communion, released Tuesday, that his 2021 remark calling Kamala Harris and other Democrats "childless cat ladies" was "boneheaded."
- Vance made the partisan crack while appearing on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show during his 2021 Ohio Senate campaign; the remarks resurfaced nearly three years later during his debut as Donald Trump's running mate, producing two firestorms.
- Communion, a follow-up to Hillbilly Elegy, chronicles Vance's faith journey from Protestant to atheist to Catholic convert, and he dedicates the book to his wife, Usha, whom he describes as "vicious" but indispensable editor.
- On abortion, which he describes as one of the most challenging issues for Christians, Vance posits that the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade revealed the political unpopularity of his position.
- Concluding his reflection, Vance writes that when considering the Church's admonition to respect the dignity of every life, "this was a clear moment where I failed." He argues that failed political arguments require better persuasion, not abandonment.
