Vance on his childless cat ladies comment: "Yes, I made a sarcastic comment that Dems have willfully misinterpreted"



Ron Filipkowski
It wasn’t sarcastic. He said different variations of the same statement a dozen times. He was being deadly serious every single time. He said what he said, but rather than apologize, retract, or own it, like Trump he claims he was just joking. He wasn’t, and isn’t fooling anyone.

He knew exactly what he meant and why he was saying it. He was pandering to a particular audience trying to define single women that chose paths in life other than childbearing as selfish. It was obviously successful, thus he repeated it.

Now he is saying it was mis-interpreted? Own up to being a typical asshole pandering conservative politician or defend what you said, JD.

I seriously don't think he takes women seriously. Certainly, until recently, trump didn't take woman seriously. They were just his play toys.

how about all the times you fucking magats take something Biden or Harris says and blow it out of proportion?

It's okay for you to do it, is that it?

Eat shit and choke on it.

...any number of alt-right chuds on 4chan/8chan/8kun/whatever-the-hell-they-call-it-now. That "sexless childless catlady" garbage was popularized by both the alt-right and MRA/PUA "influencers" like the execrable Roosh V. Vance "mainstreamed" what was otherwise fringe commentary, and now it's been picked up by far-right media, e.g. radtrad radio (Relevant Radio) and TV (EWTN).
