Emmy Awards presenter Candice Bergen taunted GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance by comparing him to former Republican Vice President Dan Quayle. (Watch the video below.)

Vance’s much-circulated “childless cat ladies” jab at powerful Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris, continued to invite mockery on TV’s prestigious night.

Bergen reminisced about the milestone moment when Quayle moralized over the parenting choice of Bergen’s sitcom character, Murphy Brown, in 1992. (The CBS comedy about an investigative journalist originally ran from 1988 to 1998 and was revived for a season in 2018.)

“My character was attacked by Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother,” Bergen said. “Oh, how far we’ve come.”

Quayle remarked during a 1992 speech that her character was “mocking the importance of fathers by bearing a child alone and calling it just another ‘lifestyle choice.’”

“Today a Republican candidate for vice president would never attack a woman for having kids,” Bergen snarked. “So as they say, my work here is done. Meow.”
