Jennifer Aniston is hitting back at comments made by Ohio Sen. JD Vance, now the Republican vice presidential candidate, in which he described certain politicians, including Vice President Kamala Harris as “childless cat ladies.”
Aniston, 55, shared on Instagram a clip of Vance from a 2021 interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, in which Vance said the country was run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.” Read More
“It’s just a basic fact. You look at [Vice President] Kamala Harris, [U.S. Transportation Secretary] Pete Buttigieg, AOC [Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” Vance, a father of three, said in the clip. “And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it.” Vance’s remarks to Carlson have resurfaced and gone viral in the wake of former President Donald Trump choosing Vance as his 2024 vice presidential running mate, and Harris becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
On Instagram, Aniston, who does not have any biological children, issued a strong rebuke, writing above a social media post showing Vance’s remarks, “I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States.” “All I can say is …,” she continued. “Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her too.”

A spokesperson for Vance said Thursday that his comments had been taken out of context.
“Once again, the leftwing media have twisted Senator Vance’s words and spun up a false narrative about his position on the issues. The Democrats are in complete disarray with the most unpopular Vice President in history as their party’s nominee. The only childlessness we should be talking about are the childless parents who lost their kids to the murderous thugs and deadly fentanyl coming across Kamala’s southern border,” Taylor Van Kirk, a spokesperson for Vance, said in a statement.
