Responding to the Republican Party’s ‘Cat Lady’ Offensive
“A Special Woman Who Should Be President” Appeal
The family of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris showed their support by turning out for Harris’s acceptance speech on the 22nd (local time). In particular, her husband, attorney Douglas Emhoff, and his daughter Ella Emhoff (25), from his first marriage, his niece Meena Harris (40), and his goddaughter Helena Hudlin (20) spoke. The New York Times analyzed that this was a response to Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance’s reference to Harris, who does not have any biological children, as a “cat lady” (a derogatory term for a woman who raises cats but does not have children).
Ella said that her stepmother Harris, whom she met during her teenage years, “stayed by me no matter what and listened to me.” She said she will never stop listening to and caring for the American people, just as she did for herself.
Maya (57), the younger sister of candidate Harris, gave birth to her daughter Mina alone when she was 17. Maya has emphasized that her sister devotedly supported her as a ‘single teenage mother.’ Mina said of ‘Aunt Harris,’ “a person who fights for the American people and justice, but also cooks her own Sunday family dinner,” and shouted, “Let’s elect this special woman as our next president.”
Hudlin is the daughter of film directors Reginald and Chrisette Hudlin, who arranged a meeting between Harris and Emhoff. She called her “godmother” Harris “the one who taught me how to make a difference with all my heart.”
