Moment the camera switches to a female audience member during a VERY unfortunate part of Oprah’s DNC speech

A woman in the audience at the DNC was the unfortunate victim of the cameras after Oprah Winfrey broached the topic of “childless cat ladies” in her speech Wednesday night.

Winfrey sang the name of Vice President Kamala Harris and lashed out at “childless cat ladies” after comments from 2021 Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance resurfaced, saying the US is run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are unhappy in their own lives.”

However, social media showed that in one of the broadcasts, a woman in a blue dress was seen standing alone in the United Center bleachers just after Winfrey brought them up, before turning away and leaving the scene.

“I screamed when the DNC switched to a random woman when Oprah made a ‘childless cat lady’ comment. I’m taking a cue from Wendy Williams’ cameraman, lol,” wrote Buzzfeed’s Spencer Althouse.

Dale Tegman added: ‘Representation matters: justice for childless cat ladies. WE SEE YOU GIRL.’

However, social media noted that one of the broadcasts immediately after Winfrey brought them up switched to a woman sitting alone in the United Center seating area.

“She’s like, ‘I know you’re not looking at me,’” another user wrote on X as the woman tried to turn away from the camera.

Another posted: ‘Oh my god I thought the same thing. Even the way the poor girl is turning around.’

The unfortunate woman recognized herself and saw the humor in the situation.

Maryland Representative Teresa S. Woorman posted that it was her and made it clear that she found the whole story funny.

She wrote: ‘Damn this childless cat lady is 100% disgusted by JD Vance in general and 100% behind @KamalaHarris and @GovTimWalz! I may be childless too but I hope it’s not a permanent condition thanks!’

Woorman responded to Althouse’s post about the clip, writing, “I’m having a great time at the DNC.”

Vance’s old comment about “childless cat ladies” like Kamala Harris has gone viral again as the duo faces scrutiny during the 2024 presidential election.

In a 2021 clip, he told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the US is ruled by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are unhappy with their own lives and the choices they’ve made, and therefore want to make the rest of the country unhappy too.”

“You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is determined by people without children,” Donald Trump’s recently announced running mate continued.

‘How is it possible that we have handed over our country to people who actually have no direct interest in it?’

Vance responded to critics of his comments after they made headlines, claiming that those criticizing him were lying about what he said and even repeating what he meant.

“If you look at what the left has done, they have taken this radically out of context and even aggressively lied about what I said,” Vance told Fox News in late July.

“What I do think, and this goes to the heart of what I said in those comments three years ago, but what I will continue to talk about, is that the left is increasingly explicitly against children and families,” he continued.

Host Trey Gowdy pointed out to Vance that there have been many leaders without biological children, from George Washington to former Republican Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

“I think you will agree with me that direct descendants are not necessary to be fully involved in the future of this country,” Gowdy said.

“Of course not, Trey. I do think that parenthood has a profound effect on one’s perspective and we need to honor and respect that,” Vance said.

“But there are a lot of people who, for various reasons, don’t have children. And they are certainly wonderful people who can fully participate in the life of this country.”

Legendary talk show host and philanthropist Winfrey made it a big part of her surprise appearance at the DNC.

Winfrey was added to the program late, but given her ties to Chicago and her past support for Democratic presidential candidates of color, her presence should have been expected.

The longtime public talk show host entered the United Center and shouted, “Who said you can’t go home!”

She said she was still a political “independent,” but she asked independents and undecided voters to support Harris.

“We are beyond the ridiculous tweets, lies and foolishness,” she said, remarks clearly aimed at the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump. “These are complicated times and they require mature conversations.”

When she referred to Vance, she meant to say that “we are not that different from our neighbors.”

“When a house is on fire, we don’t ask the race or religion of the homeowner, we don’t ask who their spouse is, or how they voted. No, we just try to do our best to save the homeowner,” she said.

“And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady,” Winfrey continued. “Well, we’ll try to get that cat out, too,” she said to laughter and applause.

Despite criticism from her party, Winfrey told the crowd she still considers herself an “independent.”

“Now you have a certain candidate who says if we just go to the polls once, we never have to do it again,” she said. “You’re looking at a registered independent who is proud to vote over and over again because I’m an American and that’s what Americans do.”

“Voting is the best thing about America,” she said. “And I’ve always, ever since I was eligible to vote, I’ve always voted my values. So that’s what’s needed now more than ever in this election.”

“So I appeal to all independents and all doubters,” Winfrey added.

She encouraged them to vote for the Democratic Party because it stands for “decency and respect.”

“But above all, let’s choose freedom. Why? Because it’s the best thing about America,” Winfrey said. “We’re all Americans, and together let’s choose Kamala Harrisssss,” she said, chanting the Democratic candidate’s name.
