Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) addressed the firestorm brewing around his recently resurfaced remarks that the country was being run by “childless cat ladies,” calling it a “sarcastic comment” and pivoting to attack Democrats as “antifamily,” The Hill reports. Said Vance: “I know the media wants to attack me and wants me to back down on this… but the simple point that I made is that having children, becoming a father, becoming a mother, I really do think it changes your perspective in a pretty profound way.”
