ABC Host Grills Trump on Vance’s ‘Childless Cat Lady’ Comments at NABJ Convention: ‘Do You Agree With Him?’

ABC News’ Rachel Scott grilled former President Donald Trump at the annual convention for the National Association of Black Journalists on Wednesday and at one point asked about the controversies swirling around his running mate.

“We can move on now to the state of the race, or I want to get back to the campaign. Senator JD Vance is your running mate. He’s had a lot of controversy lately, and I want to read you a few things that he has said in the past,” Scott began, adding:

He said the Democrats running the country are a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they’ve made. And so they don’t they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. He’s not talking here about how great it is to be a parent. He’s attacking what he says are the choices people are making to not have children. Did you know that he had these views about people who do not have children before? You picked him to be your running mate? And do you agree with him?

“No, I know this. He is very family oriented and he thinks families are a great thing. That doesn’t mean he thinks that if you don’t have a family, it’s not. I know people with families. I know people with great families. I know people with very troubled families. And I also know people with no families. They didn’t meet the right person. Things happen. You go through life, you don’t meet the right person,” Trump replied.

“He’s not just talking about the families here. He also says people that don’t have children should get less votes than those that do,” Scott interjected.

“That’s alright, I’m just speaking for myself. I think I’m speaking for him too. He strongly believes in family, but I know people with great families. I know people with not great families that don’t have the family, and the people without the family are far better. They’re superior in many cases,” Trump replied.
