In a whirlwind month of political and cultural news, JD Vance has found himself at the center of controversy after making disparaging remarks about Dolly Parton. The backlash highlights the strong public support for the country music icon, who has long been celebrated for her philanthropy and contributions to American culture.

His comments were aimed at critics of his views, including high-profile politicians like Kamala Harris, who was then criticized by Vance’s supporters as a “childless cat lady.”
