'I don't have children': Lindsey Graham tries to brush off Vance's attack on 'cat ladies'

During an appearance on CBS' "Face The Nation," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) faced off with host Robert Costa when confronted with Sen. J.D. Vance's criticism of "childless women" with cats having no stake in the future of America.

The Ohio Republican, who was chosen by Donald Trump to be his vice presidential running mate in the 20204 election, has been swamped by criticism since Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee to the point that GOP insiders fear Vance has done irreparable damage to the ticket.

On Sunday, Costa asked the unmarried South Carolina Republican, "Senator, I understand your focus on Vice President Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, but there are also many Americans who do not have children. You're also not just a senator, you're a political strategist , you work informally with former president Trump and so many Republicans. You have a political mind, is it a mistake for Senator Vance to keep talking about Americans who don't have children when it comes to a national campaign?"

"Right, yeah. I don't have children," Graham parried before adding, "But I'm going to vote for J.D. and Trump because I think we'll be safer and more prosperous and more secure. I want to end the Biden-Harris debacle."

"You know you should never say anything to hurt anybody's feelings, but when you look at all these interviews by J.D., but he was talking about how the Democratic party has abandoned the traditional family."

He later added, "So this idea of trying to marginalize J.D. and make him some kind of bad person is not going to work. He's not a bad person, he's a good person. He has served his country honorably and is going to help president Trump win."
