We are looking at the total abandonment of American women. This press corps couldn’t give two craps about the actual state of American women today. What they care about is that you can kill a baby in utero. Beyond that, they have absolutely no use for women. That is my conclusion after what I witnessed this weekend from Kamala Harris and her absurd media behavior.
The ‘Call Her Daddy’ Interview
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 Alex Cooper, which normally traffics in shows entitled “F Me with a Dildo.” I am not kidding. But this weekend, it decided that presidential politics may, in fact, be their 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.
To her credit, the young host admitted at the top that she is not the one who should be asking questions about the economy, immigration, or fracking. Good. I appreciate that. And 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.
The ‘Girl Boss’ Moment
The particular moment that is being celebrated today involved Kamala Harris responding to a barb from Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. It was akin to the “childless cat lady” remark from Sen. J.D. Vance. He made those comments three or four years ago, and they got brought up again against him once he was named Donald Trump’s running mate. For some reason, Huckabee Sanders thought it would be a great idea to double down on them.
At a town hall last month, the governor said the following:
SANDERS: My eyes filled with tears as my sweet daughter reaches up, pats my shoulder, and says, ‘It’s okay, mommy. One day you can be pretty too.’ So, my kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.
She didn’t need that last line. It was dumb politics. I love Huckabee Sanders, but this is stupid for Republicans to keep doing this. So, Harris goes on this podcast, the host brings it up, and here was her response:
HARRIS: I don’t think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who (1) are not aspiring to be humble; (2) a whole lot of women out here who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life. And I think it’s really important for women to lift each other up… I have two beautiful children, Cole and Ella, who call me ‘Mamala.’ We have a very modern family. My husband’s ex-wife is a friend of mine… and I love those kids to death. And family comes in many forms. And I think that, increasingly, you know, all of us understand that, you know, this is not the 1950s anymore. Families come in all kinds of shapes and form.
First of all, it is absurd for anyone on Team Trump to be ripping on someone else for not being humble enough. Second, did the GOP not learn his lesson with the J.D. Vance comments and the blowback he is still laboring under? Not having biological kids is not disqualifying for someone who wants to hold higher office, nor does any presidential candidate have a lot of humility. It would be great if they could find some.
Kamala Harris has enough real and deeply disturbing personality traits and policies to actually attack. This one is not necessary.
Humble Pie
But the way Kamala Harris actually responded to this question was not a ‘girl boss’ moment. It was not empowering. It was off-putting. Everyone who runs for office should be looking for a little humility, for an opportunity to be humble. We don’t need God-complex presidents thinking they alone know best when it comes to free speech, Madam Vice President, or forever wars, right?
She has virtually no governing experience. She was a lifelong prosecutor who then spent three and a half years in the vice presidency doing ribbon cutting events. Her one actual responsibility was the border. We all know how that worked out. But had she actually spent the last term governing and making decisions for this country, I think she would likely realize that humility might be a good thing, not something she needs to issue just to sound tough.
To me, “we’re not looking to be humble” is the exact same thing as “I eat ‘no’ for breakfast.” It shows a fragile ego. She is insecure. She doesn’t have the goods, and she knows we know. We do know. We all see it.
Presidential Protection Program
But today, that story is everywhere. The media is loving the comeback she gave. You go, girl! So, the system is working exactly as the Democrats think it should. The Democratic presidential candidate avoids virtually all real questions from the press. She is in a new form of the presidential protection program.
Instead, she goes on some sex podcast where she knows she will get no tough questions. She gets digitally fellated by the host, and then the sycophant media gets off on the performance and tells us all how good it was. It is the presidential equivalent of a visit to the Amsterdam Red Light District or the 1970s Times Square back alleys.
They all need a shower, and we are all feeling grosser for having heard about or witnessed it in the first place.
