Mika's CAT claps back at JD Vance's 'childless cat ladies' comments

#MorningJoe’s Mika Brzezinski brought her cat up on set in response to #JDVance’s past comments about “childless cat ladies.” Vance, who once dismissed Vice President Kamala Harris as a legitimate leader due to her lack of children, argued that the country’s future is controlled by those ‘without a direct stake.’
Mika Brzezinski humorously responded, questioning if having older children made her “childless,” and introduced her cat, Blue, adding a lighthearted twist to the discussion.

Now he's done it. Riling up the cat ladies is political suicide.

My sister has 4 kids she abandoned. She has been the WORST mother ever.not every person should be a parent

[lpickman]

My cat was my child. I raised her for 16 years. She was homeschooled and loved. I still love her.

I have many single women friends who have no children AND NO cats. They are happy, independent and successful. They travel alot, laugh with their friends and enjoy life. It appears as if the gop are the ones not happy and scared of everything.

He judges folks without kids to make laws for kids, but as a man, feels he can decide laws for women's rights. Gyfoh

[Xsa-zi]

Imagine what he would have said if he knew about the childless cat man. There are a lot of single men who have cats😨

So - blame every failure on ladies with cats 🙄 These guys are just sad. Vance is officially an elitist.

I'm not single. I am a mother. I'm quite content with my family life. What I'm not ok with is this no political nonsense being in our politics. Politics is about running our country. What happened to campaigning in what good you're going to do? Character matters and Republicans have none.

Shady Vance says "childless cat ladies" as if it were a bad thing.

[rvtech]

But let’s not mention the Republican candidate who has cheated on every wife he has had. Talk about “ family values “!

He's just a younger version of The Orange Turd.

Apparently, he didn’t see the documentary, “Don’t f**k with Cats.”

Mika, your cat is gorgeous! I have 3 adult kids, 1 granddaughter, I was a foster parent to over 20 children, and I have 6 cats and 1 little dog (who thinks he's a cat, which is why son gave him to me.) :)

[stephenholmes]

Vance is way out of his league pretending to be a senator!!

[shadygrove]

So what if you are catless AND childless? Maybe you have dogs and a lazy husband, or are looking after elderly parents? How much stake in the game gives you value?

[wickedcatsrodriguez]

Okay, so stop taxing me for schools since I don't have kids.

[babyteano]

Childless cat ladies are voters, too so say goodbye to your chance of being a VP 😁 🇺🇸💙

[KathleenWelch-xjzy]

I am a single dog lady with nephews - i think I qualify - and i vote - can't wait for November - 💙💙💙
