Republican vice-presidential nominee continues to face questions about comment as campaign speeds up

The Republican vice-presidential nominee, JD Vance, claimed that calling leading Democrats “a bunch of childless cat ladies” was merely a “sarcastic remark”, as he attempted to deflect charges of misogyny and redirect fire at Harris’s own running mate, Tim Walz, on Tuesday.

      With conservatives you really only have two choices: they’re idiots or psychopaths (and that isn’t an exclusive “or”)

      He didn’t get where he is today by being smart or talented. He got where he is today by bending over and letting Peter Thiel use him as a sock puppet.

        We all know it isn’t true. That’s what makes it even funnier because Vance is exactly the kind of person who looks like he would do it and he’s doing a very poor job at making anyone think otherwise.

          No all we really know is he didn’t write about it in his book. We really have no idea whether or not he ACTUALLY did or not. I know I’ve done things I would never admit publicly.
