After Trump contradicted himself multiple times on abortion, sometimes on the same day, [Vance pretended this meant that Trump would veto an abortion ban](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoy-ZHP0RDaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvNmN2ajB6eHBpcy8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9aXZic3R6dTY5M1cDc3BjQgpm4Udh6WaD1VwUUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~).

That's because Vance is quite weird himself, especially about cats, a previously unremarkable popular species of pet.
