Oprah Delivers Memorable 'Childless Cat Lady' Zinger At DNC

Oprah Winfrey turned Ohio Sen. JD Vances much-derided childless cat ladies comment on its side Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention.

Despite what some would have you think, we are not so different from our neighbors. When a house is on fire, we dont ask about the homeowners race or religion, we dont wonder who their partner is or how they voted. No, we just try to do the best we can to save them, Winfrey said from the convention stage.

Then she invoked Vance, the GOPs nominee for vice president.

And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady, well, we try to get that cat out, too, said Oprah, who has spoken openly about her decision not to have children .

In recently resurfaced remarks  Vance made on Fox News in 2021, the Ohio senator chided Harris as one of Americas miserable and childless cat ladies, leaving her with no stake in the countrys future.

The entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children, Vance continued, calling out Harris alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Harris is a stepmother to her husbands two children from his first marriage.

When pressed to respond to the outrage , Vance somehow dug himself even deeper , seemingly missing the point about what made his comments about people without children so offensive.

Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment. Ive got nothing against cats, Vance said in an interview on SiriusXMs The Megyn Kelly Show last month, before adding that Harris and Democrats have pursued a set of policies that are profoundly anti-child.
