Vance calls his 'childless cat ladies' comment 'one of the dumbest things I ever said' [View all]

Vice President JD Vance now concedes that it was "boneheaded" of him in 2021 to call Kamala Harris and other Democrats "childless cat ladies."

The admission comes in Vance's forthcoming memoir, "Communion," which is set to be released Tuesday.

"One of the dumbest things I ever said came when I argued that 'childless cat ladies' across the Democrat Party were running our country into the ground," Vance writes in the book, a copy of which was obtained and read by NBC News.

"The comment caused two firestorms: the first when I made it, the second years later during a political campaign," Vance adds. "It was a boneheaded comment, intentionally (and successfully) provocative rather than illuminating."

That mea culpa ain't enough. You still have the Trump stink on you.
