JD Vance calls 'childless cat ladies' quip 'one of the dumbest things I ever said'
In his memoir Communion, Vice President JD Vance calls his 2021 jab that Democratic women were 'childless cat ladies' 'one of the dumbest things I ever said' and calls the line 'boneheaded.' Vance originally used the phrase to criticize Democrats including Vice President Kamala Harris and defended it through his 2024 campaign. The admission appears in the book as Vance promotes Communion on a publicity circuit. That matters because recanting the insult is a clear effort to soften his tone and broaden appeal beyond his 2024 base ahead of future political ambitions.
JD Vance says people should be skeptical of what “propaganda elements within the regime” say about the Iran deal
I am indeed skeptical of the regime. Oh, wait, you meant the Iranians...
Which regime is he talking about?
Which regime is he talking about?
Once again every accusation is an admission with these MAGA morons 😵💫
Don't worry, JD - we are skeptical about propaganda from the MAGAT regime already & you yourself told why we should be!⤵️ bsky.app/profile/gran...
🤔 People should be VERY skeptical of what lies and propaganda this corrupt President and administration pushes.
He means from the WH regime?
I am skeptical of the propaganda coming from this Trump Administration, not Iran.
The proverbial propaganda kettle calling the pot black
I would caution people to be skeptical about whatever Trump, Vance or anyone else in the administration says. (It really is crazy that it's difficult to know whether to trust Iran or the US.)
Yes, because Vance and this regime are liars. I am sure my response will not be unique.
Meaning when they tell the truth, don’t believe it because Trumpty and Vance are lying.
Isn’t Trump the main propaganda element within the regime?
Is he talking about the Trump regime?
Which regime is he referring to? Theirs or ours?
You know the best way to avoid propaganda is to make the text of the alleged deal public…
A Regime that lies..wow imagine that FFS!
He could release the deal Trump says is signed and we wouldn’t have to guess.
We are skeptical JD. That’s why we pay no attention to you.
Oh trust us, JD. We know Trump is lying through his teeth.
I am skeptical of the propaganda from the Trump regime.
I'm skeptical about everything that JD says.
JD released Trump's nipple story to hide something much worse and no questions on that?
the only people pumping out propaganda seems to be the Trump administration
He's talking about us there isn't he.
We are! You’re a shitty spokesperson, Couchfucker! Btw, fuck Jake tapper too!
Soooo.... Which regime are you referring to? The Iranian one, the Israeli one or the American one?
Then release the text of the mou and show who's right 🤷♂️ But they won't. Which tells you all you need to know.
I am skeptical of what anyone in the Trump regime says about anything.
I agree…Miller, Jr, the ugly son, Carlson etc…
We are, especially the trump regime.
Which regime, his or theirs?
Dude, trust me. We are. EPSTEIN.
Jd is just so weird and unlikable
Vance certainly appears to be a "propaganda element" himself
What’s the agreement couch fucker?
the deal that is being signed will never see the light of day. It will be protected more than the Epstein files.
He must not realize how skeptical we’ve become of everything his boss says or does now already.
Tell the Nazi pervert to state clearly what is in the supposed agreement- or just shut up!
Which regime is he referring to
Jake Tapper should know - Joe Biden was old & icky but Trump is well and vibrant.
So far ripping up the #JCPOA has cost: 200 billion in military hardware 5% inflation 4 billion in higher fuel prices 200 injured Military personnel and the lives of 14 u.s soldiers And the lives of 1000s of Iranian women & children
Did he say which regime is spreading propaganda elements? 'Cuz that's what is in doubt.
like the one talking on the TV right now?
We will never get the entire truth from the Trumpy regime….
You're right, we don't trust this administration
Iran's Lego videos are the most credible source of info on the planet so I'm waiting for one about this dealeo.
I'm skeptical on anything anyone within this current administration has to say.
if it weren’t for you nobody would know about it because nobody watches CNN and especially not CNN with Jack Tapper.
Salon: JD Vance's “Communion” book tour is showcasing Vance’s incompetence as a politician. He swore to USA Today that he tries to “make wise decisions & moral decisions.” Sadly for Vance, a NY Times story revealed how he tried to minimize Trump & Epstein's relationship. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
The Situation Room had a situation. And it had nothing to do with geopolitical conflicts. It had to do with conflicted souls, morality and protecting pedophiles. Every attendee should be outed.
No Catholic calls it “communion”, further proof he’s not Catholic.
Vance is a pathetic, opportunistic rube.
I always like it when they show Vance talking on TV like he is all smart... (Orange Suck Up Show) It's hard to fully embrace the words of someone known for "Hillbilly Elegy" and the art of couch humping...
The “I’m Just A Phony” book tour.
JD is covering for a violent sexual abuser.
A BOOK TOUR! Still in office and the world on fire and he’s going on a book tour? How will that fit in with answering upcoming subpoenas?
This is what happens when you'll say and do anything for power, yet have no backbone, ethics or integrity. And Peter Thiel keeps your soul on his mantle. #EveryoneHatesVance
I can confidently say that no one would miss him...or even notice that he'd gone. He'd be like a vague, unpleasant memory that you couldn't quite put your finger on. It would be, "remember that beardy, baby-faced, racist idiot? What was his name again?" What an utterly pointless human being he is.
JD Vance is a product of Peter Thiel, who is obsessed with Carl Schmitt. Schmitt argued that a dictator seizes power through a "state of exception"—when the rules are suspended due to some "emergency." "Sovereign is he who decides on the exception." Vance is vastly more dangerous than Trump.

It’s hard to say! Despite his dopey presentation he did go to law school. He would understand the Lawfare strategy if not the tactical approaches to getting that done. But from a public perception perspective he’s fucking creamed corn. He wouldn’t last an hour
As clumsily prefigured by George Lucas in Star Wars prequels.
Been saying this to friends and family for a few years. Lotta blank stares. Doubt we’ll even have a staged election. The real fun to start soon.
Did they think they could prove that the protesters were paid? Did they think they had to?!
Thanks for the validation. Perhaps, because Trumps's psychopathology and behavior take up all of the oxygen in the room, the view that JD Vance is more dangerous isn't comprehensible to many, possibly most, people.
Only one problem .... NO ONE GOT PAID. That is a fantasy of the Republicans and probably a tell for them.
Well, he’d like to be more dangerous, but let’s see if anyone likes and backs him.
I really, really wish this were better understood on the left. Any assertion that Vance is or even could be more dangerous than Trump is almost always automatically dismissed and derided. Very much hating the watching-a-crash-coming-while-paralyzed part of this era.
As long as the police force and military go along...the civilised people of the shithole country named America are cooked. Look at Russia and China and tell me those folks had any chance... because 60% of uneducated pricks are enough to tank democracy.
there were a *lot* of people deeply invested in the myth of jd vance, the rural boy with the bad family who grew up and done good, but that myth required someone whose defining personality traits weren't lazy resentment and incuriousity about the world
everything about him is a lie, and in that sense, he probably *is* the rightful heir to trumpian conservatism, no values or principles, just resentments and whines and complaints
HE’S FROM EXURBAN CINCY AND NOT EVEN APPALACHIAN!!!! I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL!!!!
Two books I’ve ever purchased in my life that I curse having given the author any of my money. One was the book on the Montreal Expos by horrific wife beater Jonah Keri (his crimes weren’t yet known when I read it), the other was Hillbilly Elegy.
Hey now, let's be fair! He also has no deeply held principles besides "what will be good for me in this particular moment in time"
Plus he was accepted into Yale law and these people's obsession with college admission and prestige etc means they can't accept the possibility that he isn't a brain genius, it would undermine their own identity
He's got a smarmy kind of confidence that people mistake for "smart" especially if they themselves are dumb or gullible
James Bowman, James Hamel, or James (J.D.) Vance (name changes) is trying to cleanup his act (and it is one) including the "childless cat ladies" references about Democratic women to try and sell books and start a campaign for President. Nope! #SheShed www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
He may regret saying it but he still believes it and his policy ideas are the same, force women to have babies.
No one on earth could possibly want to read that book. Or have him as president.
I agree. I think this cat summarizes how I feel about JD Vance and his couch-grifter self.
Vance is a flip flopping, tall tale telling fraud.
The reason people aren’t having children is not due to "the idea that raising a family will prevent you from realizing your utmost potential in your professional life, and thus, you shouldn't have kids." Stupid GOP framing and he knows it.
He is so smarmy! And a bit scary because he is smarter than Trump. Admittedly the bar is low and his isn’t half as smart as he thinks he is but still smarter. And a very smooth liar.
So let me get this straight Trump negotiates the Iran deal, then sends JD Vance out to face ALL the questions? 👀 Congrats to JD Vance on his new job title: Chief Iran Deal Explainer! 😁 Must Watch! ⬇️⬇️ #USDemocracy #Pinks
Trump is a felon and might not be able to enter Iran and other countries.
It makes one wonder if Vance was against attacking Iran in the first place and this is his punishment for saying so. Making him defend what he was against is classic Trump humiliation. Graham chiming in about it seems to confirm this.
Patsy in Chief. He’s gonna smear Vance’s name all over it and then, when it’s proclaimed as a bad deal—he’ll blame it on him
Always 6 degrees of separation unless the outcome favors him.
A trap for to be candidate jdv
“One of the dumbest things I ever said came when I argued that ‘childless cat ladies’ across the Democrat Party were running our country into the ground,” Vance writes in the book, a copy of which was obtained and read by NBC News.
I remember him putting his own constituents at risk by pushing the lie that Haitian immigrants were eating pets. He is a truly terrible person.
look at this little worm trying to pivot back to the center
I’m sure it’s a sincerely held belief. Which is why this apology means nothing and why it’s a great reflection of his total lack of political instincts
Minimizing this man's comments and plugging his book. Great. This is the guy who wanted to declare an emergency in MN to remove habeas corpus after Renee Good was murdered. He is dangerous.
Vance is really dumb I’ll give him that
A true statement from a man who says a lot of stupid things.
