Usha Vance Responds to Husband’s Cat Lady Remarks
Usha Vance, wife of Senator JD Vance, discussed handling negative press since her husband was chosen as Donald Trump’s running mate. In an interview with Fox & Friends, she expressed that negative coverage often misrepresents JD, making it challenging but manageable with a thick skin. She shared advice from friends to avoid reading the news too much and focus on hearing directly from JD. Addressing his controversial “childless cat ladies” remarks, Usha talked about the context.
From Fox News:
"I took a moment to look and actually see what he had said and try to understand what the context was and all that, which is something that I really wish people would do a little bit more often. And the reality is he made a quip in service of making a point that he wanted to make that was substantive, and it had actual meaning," Usha Vance said of the comments.
Asked about what she would say to anyone offended by her husband's comments, Usha told Earhardt that her husband "would never, ever, ever want to say something to hurt someone who was trying to have a family, who really, was struggling with that."
"He made that clear at the time. And he's made that clear today. And we have lots of friends who have been in that position. It is challenging and never, ever anything that anyone would want to mock or make fun of, and I also understand there are a lot of other reasons why people may choose not to have families, and many of those reasons are very good," she added.
