Former GOP congressman Trey Gowdy, who is now a Fox News host, takes on Vance and his comment on cat ladies. When you've lost members of your own party like Trey Gowdy, who voted 97.9 percent in line with Trump's positions, you have a problem.
Fox News host Trey Gowdy questioned Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Sunday over a past remarks from the VP candidate criticizing people who are “childless” and calling Vice President Harris a “cat lady” in an insult that has resulted in bipartisan blowback.
Gowdy, himself a former congressman, defended those without children in the opening monologue of his show. He shared a story of meeting a pair of Catholic nuns who prayed for his friend, who was expecting a child, after spending the day together in an airport. “And it’s not just Catholic nuns. Some of the finest people I know don’t have children,” Gowdy said. “Teachers and guidance counselors and lawyers and doctors, and they love other people’s children enough to teach and guide and protect and minister to them. Some people choose not to have children. Others desperately want them, but they can’t.” “The American people are forgiving, if we ask,” he added before welcoming Vance on the show.
Vance did not apologize for the comments, originally from 2021, instead accusing Democrats of being “anti-family.”
Gowdy again challenged Vance over the comments, pointing out that Condoleezza Rice, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and George Washington are among American leaders without children. The senator [Vance] added that he won’t back down from his rhetoric, despite the criticism.
