J.D. Vance’s wife Usha defends his weird ‘childless cat lady’ comments… and reveals what he is REALLY like

Senator JD Vance is still feeling the effects of his years-long comments about being a “childless cat lady,” but now his wife Usha is coming to the rescue.

The 38-year-old mother of three spoke to Fox News about how her life has changed since JD became the Republican vice presidential nominee.

Usha also spoke candidly about her thoughts on her husband’s now-viral and heavily criticized comments, saying it was never the Ohio senator’s intention to “hurt” women struggling to start a family.

She said some of the classifications she sees of her husband are “not accurate” and that the criticism is “not the JD I know.”

“We’ve been doing this for a while now and I’ve gotten used to it and developed a thick skin,” the attorney said of the negative press about her and her family.

She said in the interview with Ainsley Earhardt, which aired in part on Fox & Friends Monday morning, “He was joking to make a point that he wanted to make that was substantive.”

The entire line of attack against Vance stems from a 2021 interview with then-Fox host Tucker Carlson.

“We are essentially run in this country by the Democrats, by our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are unhappy with their own lives and the choices they’ve made and who want to make the rest of the country unhappy as well,” Senator Vance said at the time.

Left-wing critics immediately responded to the three-year-old’s comments, calling them an attack on women who cannot or will not have children.

Even some conservatives and Republicans were angry about how the comments could harm women struggling with fertility and couples who cannot have children of their own.

“JD would absolutely, then and now, never, never, never want to say anything to hurt someone who was trying to start a family and was really struggling with that,” Usha Vance said when asked what her message was to women who were offended by the comments.

She continued, “And I also understand that there are many other reasons why people choose not to have a family, and many of those reasons are very good.”

Usha joined JD at the Republican National Convention last month, where the Ohio senator became the vice presidential nominee running alongside Donald Trump

“Let’s try to look at the real conversation that he’s trying to have and run with it and understand it,” Usha continued. “For those of us who do have families, for the many of us who want families and for whom it’s really hard. What can we do to make it better?”

“What can we do to make life easier in 2024 and live a full life that is not just professional, but also has a rich personal life and a rich community behind it?”

JD and Usha, the daughter of Indian immigrants, have three children together: Ewan, 6, Vivek, 4, and Mirabel, 2.

They met at Yale, where they were both studying law.
