Inconvenient timing?
TV cameras awkwardly focused on a Maryland delegate as Oprah Winfrey called out “childless cat lady” during her speech for the loudest applause of the evening at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
The Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance, who said that the US was run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives,” was the subtle allusion Winfrey, 70, was making. “.
We don’t inquire about the homeowner’s race or religion when their home is on fire. We don’t care how they voted or who their partner is,” Winfrey declared to the United Center assembly.
“No, all we try to do is try to save them as best we can. Additionally, we attempt to remove the cat if the location is owned by a childless cat lady. “.
When she mentioned “childless cat lady,” the American TV icon stopped to accept a hail of applause. Then, the camera panned over to Teresa Woorman, a delegate from District 16 in the Maryland House of Delegates.
When the former talk show host took the House oath, Woorman leaned into the awkward incident that followed her speech, revealing that she had called herself a “childless cat lady.”.
“This childless lady is utterly repulsed by J, damn you.”. D. Vance in general and wholeheartedly support @KamalaHarris and @GovTimWalz! I may not have children, but I sincerely hope that’s not the case going forward, thanks!” the delegate wrote on X.
In addition, ironically, I was just appointed to a legislative position. And during my remarks at my inauguration into the Maryland House of Delegates last week, I described myself as a childless cat lady. But @Oprah and @taylorswift13, I’m in good company. “.
In a 2021 interview, Vance contended that the Democratic Party was led by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” Tucker Carlson was a former Fox News host. “.
Winfrey told the audience that she was still an independent, even though it appeared as though she was criticizing the Republican candidate.
The billionaire told the crowd, “There’s a certain candidate that says if we just go to the polls this one time, we’ll never have to do it again.”.
“You are observing a proudly registered independent who consistently casts ballots because that is the norm for Americans,” the voter says. “.
Present Vice President Kamala Harris, the party’s soon-to-be presidential nominee, received Winfrey’s support during her speech on the third night of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center.
Before Minnesota Gov., some of the biggest applause of the evening was directed towards the best-selling author’s speech. Tim Walz giving a speech to voters in his first significant capacity.
Several of her onstage predecessors, she said, had delivered stirring speeches against abortion.
“Now, we have all witnessed amazing people go on stage and share their most personal suffering over the past couple of nights,” she remarked.
She continued, “They told us their stories of… near-death experiences from having the state deny them the abortion that their doctor explained was medically necessary.”.
Freedom, according to Oprah, can include “fighting back against life’s bullies.”. “.
