All the news today is about what a ‘girl boss’ Kamala Harris is as a result of her decision to appear on the podcast Call Her Daddy with host Alex Cooper. This is a program that normally traffics in shows entitled “F Me with a Dildo.” I am not kidding. But this weekend, the popular podcast decided that presidential politics may, in fact, be its thing.
It isn’t. It was an utter fail.
As you know, I don’t know anything about sports. Occasionally, sports become a news story and I will talk about it. But I am very quick to disclose I don’t know anything about it, and I certainly would never be the person purporting to do an important interview of a sports figure who is in the center of some sports story, as opposed to just my role over here as a random commentator when it becomes news.
That was the position Alex Cooper was in. She played with fire and she got burned. She failed at an important moment in presidential history.
The Topics
To her credit, the young host admitted at the top of the interview that she is not the one who should be asking questions about the economy, immigration, or fracking. Good. I appreciate that. There might be a lane for her to ask questions. But in this position, a month out from the election, one has to stop and ask oneself: Why did Kamala Harris come to me? Am I being used? Do I really want to be this person’s stooge?
Instead, what appears to have happened here was the host decided to make the entire interview about the area she claims to know best: Women and women’s rights. Alright, I’m listening. She says she talks about it all the time.
What that actually turned out to mean – unsurprisingly given this is an obvious leftist – was one thing: Abortion. Abortion, abortion, and more abortion.
We got the now oft-repeated lie that Georgia’s abortion laws caused a young mother of one son to die as she was trying to abort her twins. In fact, she died in malpractice when, after taking the abortion drug, she was forced to wait too long for a perfectly legal DNC procedure by her Georgia doctors. Her family should sue over that.
We got a lie from Kamala Harris that the GOP wants to take away women’s birth control, which is not true. We got the host seemingly upset that Donald Trump has called Kamala Harris names in the past like dumb. The question was: “How does that affect you when he calls you those names?”
Well, gee, how do you think it affects Trump to be called a “sexual predator,” a “fraudster,” a “criminal,” and “Hitler,” by Kamala Harris and her top surrogates and supporters? Might that warrant a response of, ‘she’s crazy,’ ‘she’s fake,’ ‘she’s dumb,’ which are the adjectives the host brought up? You might want to contextualize your question, Alex, so that the audience has some idea that these didn’t come out of nowhere.
The host seemed particularly bothered by Trump telling women at a rally in Pennsylvania not long ago that he would be their “protector” if he returns to the Oval Office. Harris was allowed to rail on how that was a lie because he hand-selected the three judges who participated in overturning Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs opinion. And that was exactly what this host wanted to hear.
What Women Care About
I wonder if the host cares anything about issues affecting women other than abortion? Like, does she care that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have changed Title IX with the stroke of their pen? They’ve allowed boys and men to take over women’s sports and redefine womanhood to begin with? And that Trump has promised to reverse that? That Trump has promised to remove men and boys from women’s private spaces where they are being hurt all the time – raped in prisons, sexually assaulted in bathrooms and locker rooms, having their medals stolen, not to mention their innocence?
Do you care? Or is it all about killing the baby in utero?
I just wonder because, as a woman, I care about a lot of things. I care about where the country is on abortion rights. I think it is an interesting topic, but I really care about what happens to the women once they are born and live their lives.
This host engages in an industry of filth from what I understand, so here are terms she can understand it in: Young girls don’t want a bunch of penises coming at them in their locker room. I know you love that. That is the business you are in, talking about all the times you have been on the receiving end of one. But I don’t want it happening to my 13 year old while she is trying to play soccer.
Do you get that? Try to keep up because there are issues affecting women outside of the only one you give a sh-t about.
Does this person know anything about the anti-sex trafficking law that Trump passed? Does she know he has promised to seriously increase sentencing for those who abuse women and girls down at the border as part of his immigration policies?
How about the fact that we had no wars under Trump, as opposed to under the Biden-Harris regime, where we expressed and showed weakness right off the bat with the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal leading – many experts have said – directly to Putin feeling emboldened and invading Ukraine, not to mention what happened in Israel?
In Ukraine, 10,000 civilians have died including 3,000 women and almost 600 children. Does she care about that? Could those women consider themselves better protected when Trump was in office? And then there are the 1,200 dead in Israel as of today, the one year anniversary of the October 7 attacks, including almost 300 women and 29 children and those who died in the retaliatory campaign in Gaza.
The Hypocrisy
What bothers me is the hypocrisy of it. They want you to end that podcast thinking Kamala Harris is the one who will protect women, who cares about women, and none of these issues were even brought up. The whole thing is designed to make Trump the devil and Harris the savior of women’s rights, and it is infuriating.
