Vice President Kamala Harris found herself in the midst of a controversial scheduling decision on Tuesday, as she opted to pre-record a discussion on abortion rights for the often-explicit "Call Her Daddy" podcast.
This occurred on the same day that Iran launched an attack on Israel and as the death toll from Hurricane Helene continued to rise.
According to The Post Millennial, Harris' campaign informed The Hill that the Vice President had sat down with podcast host Alex Cooper to discuss abortion. The episode is slated for release next week, although the exact date remains undisclosed.
Meanwhile, as Harris was engaging in podcast recording, search and rescue teams in North Carolina were employing cadaver dogs in their grim task of locating bodies in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Fox Weather has reported a death toll of at least 232 people, with hundreds more still unaccounted for.
Simultaneously, international tensions were escalating. At 9:32 AM on Tuesday, Axios reporter Barak Ravid relayed a message from a White House source: The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel." Later that day, Iran did indeed launch an attack, deploying approximately 180 ballistic missiles.
Harris' decision to record a podcast on such a day of national and international crisis has led to questions about her judgment and priorities. The Biden-Harris administration has already faced substantial criticism for its response to Hurricane Helene, which made landfall last weekend. At the time, Harris was en route to a campaign event in the western US, while President Joe Biden was at his beach home in Delaware.
Adding to the administration's woes are reports of the $640 million FEMA used to house illegal immigrants across the United States, despite the funds being earmarked for shelters earlier this year. This revelation comes as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Wednesday that the agency lacks sufficient funds to navigate the remainder of the hurricane season.
The "Call Her Daddy" podcast, known for its explicit content, has recently covered topics such as blow jobs, frat daddies, and threesomes. The Vice President's decision to participate in such a program amidst a time of crisis raises questions about the administration's priorities and its commitment to addressing urgent national and international issues.
