Senator JD Vance of Ohio is facing criticism for his past comments referring to 'childless cat ladies' as 'psychotic' and 'deranged.' In a recent interview on 'Meet the Press,' Vance expressed regret that his 2021 remarks were taken the wrong way but did not place them among his top regrets. He characterized his comments as sarcastic and accused Democrats of misinterpreting them. Despite the backlash, Vance offered an apology framed as 'I'm sorry you were offended.'
