Any insight why? And specifically the connection to cats?
I actually find this disappointing as I consider myself politically conservative. Just yesterday evening, Tucker mocked the 60-year childless, which I found incredibly rude and tone deaf since many are childless due to infertility or circumstances. There are also other politicians like Gaetz, Vance, and Hawley who have made similar comments.
A lot of men do not like cats. Cats as associated with feminine qualities in terms of behavior, maybe that's why.
