GOP senator torches JD Vance over ‘derogatory’ and ‘offensive’ comments about women

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) is now attracting criticism from one of his fellow colleagues in the U.S. Senate for his previous remarks about women.

In a Tuesday interview with Politico, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who is considered one of the more moderate members of the Senate Republican Conference, unleashed on her colleague over controversial comments he made about “childless cat ladies.” Politico reported that Alaska’s senior U.S. senator called Vance’s past criticism of liberal women unfortunate, unnecessary and “offensive to many women.”

“If the Republican Party is trying to improve its image with women, I don’t think that this is working,” Murkowski said. “To be so derogatory in this way is offensive to me as a woman.”
