Candice Bergen Remembers Dan Quayle Attacking ‘Murphy Brown’ for Being a Single Mother: ‘Oh, How Far We’ve Come ... Meow’

TRANSCRIPT:

BERGEN: "I was surrounded by brilliant and funny actors, had the best scripts to work with, and in one classic moment, my character was attacked by Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother.

(Applause)

Oh, how far we’ve come.

(Laughter)

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