Exclusive: JD Vance’s Aunt Speaks Out About His Comments on Women
< < Go Back
Senator JD Vance’s aunt has defended him against the criticism he has faced for calling certain women in the Democratic Party “childless cat ladies.”
In an exclusive statement to Newsweek, Lori Meibers, who helped raise the vice presidential nominee, said that “women have been forefront throughout JD’s life.”
“As you know, he was raised without a father figure. My mother, Bonnie Vance – or Mamaw, as we know her – his sister, Lindsay, and myself all coalesced around him to raise him ourselves,” she said.
“My own daughters have chosen significant others that resemble the man JD is, and that brings me incredible joy to know that he has had such a lasting impact on them.”
She added: “It’s disgusting that the Democrats and media are attacking him in this way.”
It comes after Vance’s sister also defended him in a statement shared with CNN.
