In a recent interview with Howard Stern, Vice President Kamala Harris found herself in the midst of a conversation that was far from the hard-hitting political discourse one might expect.
Stern, once known for his anti-establishment humor, has seemingly aligned himself with the current powers that be, a shift that has not gone unnoticed by conservative observers. Despite Stern's history of offensive remarks, particularly towards women, Harris chose to appear on his show, a decision that follows her previous appearance on "The View," which was widely regarded as a disaster.
According to RedState, Stern's support for Harris was evident throughout the interview, with his questions and comments leaning heavily in her favor. This lack of objectivity was reminiscent of Jimmy Kimmel's interview with Tim Walz, which was criticized for its sycophantic tone. Stern's first question, concerning whether Harris took naps, set the tone for the rest of the interview. His concern over a recent Saturday Night Live skit mocking Harris was also noted, with Stern expressing his desire for things to go "well for her."
Stern's second question, asking Harris if she liked the Prince soundtrack for the first Michael Keaton "Batman" movie, was met with incredulity by journalist Joe Concha, who pointed out the irrelevance of the question to the pressing issues of the election. Stern's interview continued in this vein, with the host expressing confusion over the closeness of the election and asking Harris if she would consider leaving the country if Trump won.
In a surprising turn, Stern labeled Harris as the "law and order candidate," a claim that stands in stark contrast to her record. Harris has been criticized for her lenient stance on illegal immigration, her support for a bail fund for individuals arrested during the BLM riots in Minnesota, and her vocal opposition to ICE.
Stern's interview also touched on Harris's claim of having worked at McDonald's, a claim that has been met with skepticism due to a lack of evidence. Despite Stern's attempts to bolster her story, Harris's account of her time at McDonald's failed to convince many.
Perhaps the most contentious moment of the interview came when Harris labeled President Donald Trump as "weak." Harris's own record of avoiding hard-hitting interviews, refusing to answer key questions about her policies, and her reliance on friendly media outlets, has led many to question her own strength as a leader.
Harris's criticism of Trump is particularly galling given his demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity. Trump's response to an assassination attempt, where he continued to rally his supporters even as he was bleeding, is a testament to his strength and courage. His commitment to his supporters and his dedication to defending the rights of the American people stand in stark contrast to Harris's record.
Harris's claim that she is working to make the US a "secure nation" is contradicted by her actions. Her refusal to acknowledge Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu as an ally has raised questions about her commitment to international alliances. Furthermore, her voting record, which includes support for legislation that has exacerbated inflation, undermines her claim of working to reduce the cost of living for American families.
In light of these contradictions, it is clear that Harris embodies the very issues she criticizes. It is time to "turn the page" from her and seek leadership that truly aligns with the values of strength, security, and economic stability.
