Vice President JD Vance backed down on a "boneheaded" remark that came back to haunt him on the campaign trail in 2024.The vice president admitted to making a mistake by slandering Kamala Harris and other Democratic women as "childless cat ladies" during a 2021 appearance on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show, according to his forthcoming memoir, “Communion,” reported NBC News.“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, according to a copy obtained by the network. “The comment caused two firestorms: the first when I made it, the second years later during a political campaign. It was a boneheaded comment, intentionally (and successfully) provocative rather than illuminating.”The comments came to light shortly after Donald Trump named him as running mate, but Vance refused to apologize or express regret for the partisan insult.“I have a lot of regrets,” Vance said at the time, “but making a joke three years ago is not at the top 10 of the list.”His about-face comes in a chapter in the book about meeting with Pope Francis before his death last year and covers his Christian views on immigration and abortion.“And that brings me to another lesson of the faith for Christian statesmen,” Vance wrote. “It’s okay to admit error.”Vance also discusses how the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who had been a close friend, was directly related to second lady Usha Vance's pregnancy.“As my wife held Charlie Kirk’s widow on the first day of her terrible sorrow, Erika told Usha between sobs that she regretted having only two kids with Charlie,” Vance wrote. “But something changed for Usha, and not long after we buried my friend, she became pregnant with our fourth child, a boy. One life was stolen from us, but another was given.”
On Monday, a top Fox News columnist apologized for defending President Donald Trump’s decision to host a cage fight on the White House lawn. The change of heart came, he said, after a fighter’s offensive statement about former First Lady Michelle Obama.“I’ve defended the administration’s America 250 plans, because I trusted they really would be non partisan, really would bring us together,” David Marcus posted on Monday. “But I was wrong." Marcus posted this over a retweet of his own from Sunday evening, which declared, “The fighter yelling ‘Michelle Obama is a man,’ at an official White House event to honor America is utterly unacceptable and the administration should [denounce] it in no uncertain terms.”He was referring to a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan in which UFC fighter Josh Hokit randomly taunted, “And lastly — Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” Michelle Obama has frequently been the target of this and other racist statements, though they are typically relegated to online posts and far-right rally rants rather than at White House events honoring the nation. Hokit’s words drew a smattering of laughter, and Rogan moved on without addressing the remark.“I feel betrayed,” Marcus said in another post. “I believed these would be non partisan celebrations.” He wasn’t the only one angered by Hokit’s comment. “I don't care what you think about the Obamas or anything,” said Trump voter and Barstool Sports host Dave Portnoy. “That has to be an immediate denounce.” “What a disgrace,” posted Robert Griffin III, a former NFL quarterback and a UFC fan. “It takes a really small man to use his biggest moment to attack a woman by calling her a man. Especially with the history behind calling black women men.”UFC CEO Dana White stopped short of condemning the comment, in a text to Time Magazine saying, “I understand that the Obamas are public figures but I’m completely against saying nasty and false things about people’s families. Everyone knows my position on free speech but I hate that kind of nonsense.” As of this writing, there has been no denouncement from the White House, which has repeatedly sidestepped the question.Many of Marcus’ followers expressed surprise at his anger over the matter, prompting him to elaborate on his outrage. “Maybe it’s because I produced theater for so long, but this is hard for me to forgive,” he noted. “Between this and the Kennedy Center some people are getting the keys to this stuff that don’t know how to drive the car.”When another commenter tried to argue that Marcus was taking the matter too seriously, the Fox columnist’s response was simple: “America only gets one 250th birthday.”
The Supreme Court declined to revive a lawsuit Carter Page, a former aide for President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, brought against former FBI officials, including former Director James Comey, over the government’s secret spying on him as part of the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation.
