JD Vance calls Jennifer Aniston 'disgusting' for mentioning his daughter in 'childless cat ladies' feud
WASHINGTON, DC: Controversial Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance has criticized beloved actress Jennifer Aniston, following his broader attacks on women, especially those without children, including stepmothers who haven't given birth.
An interview from 2021 has recently resurfaced, showcasing Donald Trump's running mate making an astonishingly bizarre comment during a discussion with Tucker Carlson on Fox News.

Unless one avoids social media and media largely, it is hard to miss the wave of reactions sparked by a particularly vile misogynistic remark.
High-profile women like Oprah, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, and Jennifer Aniston, who all have cats but no children, highlight why the comment made by Trump's running mate has ignited widespread outrage.
This sentiment is not limited to women nationwide but extends to men who support and cherish the women in their lives.
The criticism has been so extensive that Jennifer Aniston herself issued a rare politically-driven statement, as reported by PopCrush.
Jennifer Aniston said, "I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States. All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too."

Meidas News reports that in response, JD Vance called Jennifer Anniston "disgusting" during an interview with Fox News. In addition, he reiterated his beliefs while expressing regret to cats and maintaining the integrity of his remark regarding women who have never given birth.
Vance remarked, "You have Hollywood celebrities saying, ‘Oh well, JD Vance, what if your daughter suffered fertility problems?’ Well, first of all, that’s disgusting because my daughter is 2 years old and second of all if she had fertility problems, as I said in that speech, I would do everything I could to try to help her because I believe families and babies are a good thing."
He initially described his comment as "sarcastic," yet subsequently reaffirmed it as "being true."

Internet slams JD Vance
As soon as JD Vance's comments surfaced, Internet users started sharing their opinions. A user wrote, "His 2 year old will be a woman one Day, what Jennifer Aniston said was a realistic Comment."
Another user added supporting Aniston, "Obviously she was not referring to your daughter at 2 years old, but a hypothetical daughter of child bearing age who is suffering from fertility issues. J D Vance has one sick mind."
A third commentator wrote, "You attacked every childless woman on the planet. Ms. Aniston didn't attack your daughter."
"He totally missed Jennifer Aniston's point! He just keeps digging himself in deeper!" one claimed.
A person said, "He made absolutely no sense. I like how he puts the “my daughter is two years old, that’s disgusting.” Acting like he’s dumber than he actually is and thinks she meant right now. You’re sinking, JP."
"He is the one that is speaking these disgusting views about females. He dragged all females into that crap, including his own wife! He is absolutely vile!" another chimed in.
