Celebrity Reactions To JD Vance’s Comments Amplified By CNN
On Thursday, CNN’s Jake Tapper highlighted the backlash against Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, sparked by comments he made in 2021 about Democrats being “childless cat ladies.” This segment featured CNN entertainment reporter Elizabeth Wagmeister, who discussed reactions from Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift’s fans.
The controversy stems from Vance’s appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight, where he criticized childless Democrats, including Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg, implying they are miserable and seek to spread their unhappiness. Vance’s remarks suggested that childless individuals disproportionately support the Democratic Party, influencing its policies and direction.
Jennifer Aniston reacted strongly to Vance’s comments, expressing disbelief that someone with such views could be considered for the vice presidency. Aniston’s critique extended to Vance’s anti-abortion stance, specifically his opposition to IVF treatments. She voiced concerns about the potential impact of his policies on women’s reproductive rights, emphasizing that his views could limit medical options for women, including his own daughter.
Elizabeth Wagmeister mentioned Taylor Swift’s indirect involvement through her fan base, the Swifties, who have been vocal in their criticism of Vance on social media. Although Swift has not commented directly, her fans have expressed their disapproval, with some tweets highlighting their anger and promising consequences for Vance’s remarks. One tweet humorously noted, “Hell hath no fury like a certain childless cat lady who is yet to endorse a presidential candidate,” capturing the sentiment of Swift’s supporters.
