WASHINGTON \u2014 Vice President JD Vance is calling his resurfaced screed against \u201cchildless cat ladies\u201d that went viral during the 2024 election \u201cone of the dumbest things I ever said,\u201d according to pages from his forthcoming memoir.<\/p>\n

In \u201cCommunion,\u201d Vance takes responsibility for the \u201cboneheaded comment\u201d but notes that it had succeeded in provoking people, as intended.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the dumbest things I ever said came when I argued that \u2018childless cat ladies\u2019 across the Democrat Party were running our country into the ground,\u201d Vance writes in his second memoir, according to NBC News.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe comment caused two firestorms: the first when I made it, the second years later during a political campaign,\u201d he also says. \u201cIt was a boneheaded comment, intentionally (and successfully) provocative rather than illuminating.\u201d<\/p>\n

The future vice president was a guest on Tucker Carlson\u2019s Fox News show in 2021 when he first lashed out at the female-feline community, but the remarks were unearthed during his run with President Trump since they had been made about Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are effectively run in this country \u2014 via the Democrat [Party], via our corporate oligarchs \u2014 by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they\u2019ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too,\u201d Vance told Carlson.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIf you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Pop superstar Taylor Swift later dubbed herself a \u201cChildless Cat Lady\u201d as a badge of honor when endorsing Harris and her running-mate, Minnesota Democratic governor Tim Walz.<\/p>\n
