The pop star also endorsed VP Kamala Harris in a recent interview.
Kesha definitely isn’t a fan of Sen. JD Vance, much less his recently resurfaced comments about the country being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies.”
On her way inside LAX Thursday (July 25), a photographer asked the 37-year-old pop star for her thoughts on former president Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate — and she didn’t mince words. “Booooo! F–k that man,” she said, according to the video obtained by TMZ. “That’s all I have to say. F–k them all.”
Vance has been under fire this week thanks to an interview he gave Tucker Carlson in 2021, during which he said the U.S. is being run by “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.”
“It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” the Ohio politician added at the time. “And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?”
As for whether the Democratic party is actually full of child-free cat parents, Kesha quipped, “It is, b—h! And this is what it looks like, honey.”
The “Joyride” artist also agreed that Vance’s assessment is sexist before endorsing Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign on her way into the airport. “Absolutely!” she said when asked whether she was supporting the sitting VP. “We ride.”
Kesha isn’t the only public figure who’s spoken out against the senator’s comments, which have been thrust back into public discourse after Trump appointed Vance his VP pick earlier this month. Jennifer Aniston recently criticized the rhetoric on Instagram Stories, writing, “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.”
Pete Buttigieg, one of the Democrats Vance name-checked in his comments on Carlson’s show, fired back on CNN this week. “The really sad thing is he said that after [my husband] Chasten and I had been through a fairly heartbreaking setback in our adoption journey,” said the secretary of transportation, who is now Dad to two adopted kids. “He couldn’t have known that, but maybe that’s why you shouldn’t be talking about other people’s children.”
Vance, however, doubled down on his point in an interview with Megyn Kelly Friday (July 26). “The simple point that I made is that having children … I really do think it changes your perspective in a pretty profound way,” he said. “It’s not a criticism of people who don’t have children. This is about criticizing the Democratic party for becoming anti-family and anti-child.”
