Vice President Kamala Harris gets humiliated on national television after a 10-year-old reporter grills her in an interview.
During Thursday’s “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Harris was interviewed by viral reporter Jeremiah Fennell. The vice president spoke with the young journalist about advice she’d give her 10-year-old self.
“Don’t you hear ‘No, it can’t be done,’ or ‘Nobody like you has done it,’ or ‘Oh, you’re too young’ or ‘Oh, they’re not ready for you?’ Don’t hear no. You know why, son? Because I eat ‘no’ for breakfast,” Harris told Fennell.
Fennell later asked Harris about the National Space Council and whether she would go into space.
“So, you are the head of the National Space Council. Would you go into space and if so, what is the maximum amount of time you are willing to stay out there for?” he asked.
“Is that a request? I would go to space, if I could. There are people on my team who do know that but sadly, I think there are those who would prefer that I would stay on Earth,” a confused Harris responded.
The interaction received wild responses on social media, with many criticizing Harris for spending her time doing daytime talk shows instead of acting as vice president.
“You have all the charisma of a C-level sitcom star filmed in front of a studio audience,” one Twitter user joked.
“Tell Jeremiah that because of what you’ve done in your administration he will face a debt ceiling above fixable when he becomes 18. Also that when he is eligible for any office that he will also have the value of a dollar below the value of a any other powers currency,” another user tweeted.
This comes after reports of Democrats turning their backs on Harris surfaced. Earlier this year, the New York Times revealed that some Democratic officials have become increasingly frustrated with the vice president’s inability to define her tenure in office.
The report also claims that Democrats are concerned that any attempt to drop Harris from the ticket will anger key constituencies within their base.
President Joe Biden promised a female on his ticket during a 2020 Democratic primary debate and has made efforts to center African-American women within the party, including by appointing a record number of black female judges to federal courts.
