Hollywood star Candice Bergen got political at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards when she took a swipe at Republican Vice President candidate J.D. Vance.
On Sunday during the ABC broadcast at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the 78-year-old actress recalled playing news anchor “Murphy Brown” on the popular show and a moment during her career when her character became pregnant but was unmarried.
“In one classic moment, my character was attacked by [Republican] Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother,” Bergen told the room of stars. “Oh how far we’ve come.”
“Today a Republican candidate for Vice President would never attack a woman for having kids,” she added sarcastically. “So as they say, my work here is done. Meow”
