Kamala: 'Look at My Career to Know What I Care About'

One of the very few sit-down interviews Kamala Harris has granted to anyone since becoming her party's presidential candidate in July was released on Sunday.  It was conducted by someone named Alex Cooper, the host of 'Call Her Daddy,' a sex podcast that boasts episodes with titles such as 'Welcome to Slut Camp.'  Cooper actually noted how rare long-form (or really any-form) interviews have been during Harris' presidential campaign and asked why the Democratic nominee selected 'Call Her Daddy' for such an occasion.  

Harris' answer was a Kamalesque pile of unspecific words:


Another question asked why Cooper's audience should trust Harris.  The candidate's answer invoked her long record in political office as illustrative of her passions and priorities: 


As several of us noted on social media, this should be taken as an invitation:


We've written extensively about Harris' many extreme public stances across multiple issues, several of which have been enshrined in legislation she has co-sponsored.  The Trump campaign has mostly chosen to run against her record in the Biden-Harris administration, framing her more as a continuation of a failed status quo  than as a radical leftist who is much further out of the mainstream than Biden.  But since she asked us to 'look at her career,' we should take her up on that opportunity.  This is a pretty solid manifestation of such an examination:


Looking at her career, her words, her bills, her beliefs makes her less electable, not more.  Perhaps not to much of the core 'Call Her Daddy' podcast audience, but to middle- and working class voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and elsewhere -- who don't believe private health insurance should be outlawed, who don't believe illegal border crossings should be decriminalized, who don't believe fracking and gas-powered vehicles should be banned, and who don't believe they should finance healthcare coverage for illegal immigrants, including sex change operations.  Harris' running mate, by the way, is also an extremist.  He was asked about his pro-illegal immigration policies (free healthcare, in-state college tuition, drivers' licenses) on Fox News Sunday, and he didn't back away from any of it, even as he laughably claimed Harris' border policies are the "strongest" we've seen. Look at their careers, indeed.  I'll leave you with a response to another one of her answers on the 'Slut Camp' show:


Setting aside the draft, is it not Kamala Harris' orthodoxy than men can get pregnant?
