Oprah Winfrey made a surprise appearance on the third night of the Democratic National Convention, causing the crowd to erupt into the loudest cheers of the night.
The television icon gave a shout-out to “childless cat ladies” Wednesday in her convention speech.
“We are not so different from our neighbors,” Winfrey said. “When a house is on fire, we don’t ask about the homeowner’s race or religion. We don’t wonder who their partner is or how they voted.”
“And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady — well, we try and get that cat out too,” she quipped.
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance argued in a 2021 interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the Democratic Party was run 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.”

Earlier, Oprah argued that freedom can mean “standing up to life’s bullies.”
