'What's wrong with cats?': Anderson Cooper chuckles at J.D. Vance’s ‘weird’ attack
Raw StoryAnderson Cooper couldn’t help but chuckle after playing the now-notorious 2022 clip of Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance bashing a country run by so-called “childless cat ladies.” “What’s wrong with cats?” Cooper asked, his voice slightly cracking. It’s kind of a surprising line of attack.” CNN commentator Ashley Allison, a Democratic strategist and campaign staffer, called Vance’s argument that those without children are somehow less qualified for office “absurd.” “I’m a childless dog lady,” Allison said, soliciting a giggle from Cooper and another panelist. Having kids, “is not a qualification on whether or not you are a leader or whether or not you have a love for this country.” The comment lays bare the hypocrisy of Republicans hurling identity-based attacks against Kamala Harris, Allison said.
