Woke AF: Kamala Harris Finally Graces Us With Her Media Presence

After months of dodging the press like they were contagious, our favorite Veep-turned-presidential-hopeful Kamala Harris has finally blessed us with her presence on a whirlwind media tour. Let's dive into the highly curated list of shows she graced, shall we?

'60 Minutes'

Kamala sat down with Bill Whitaker on "60 Minutes" and tackled tough topics like immigration, Israel, and her ever-evolving stance on fracking.

  • Economy: Harris claimed historic low unemployment for all groups. PolitiFact rated it Half True because, shocker, unemployment has risen for some groups since 2022.
  • Fentanyl: She claimed the admin cut fentanyl flow by half. Details? Who needs 'em.
  • Guns: Kamala flexed her Glock ownership, courtesy of her law enforcement days. Girl, same.

'The View'

Next up, Harris hit ABC’s "The View" for some light Biden praise and Trump bashing.

  • Trump: She called out Trump's "terminate the Constitution" comment, which PolitiFact rated True.
  • Cabinet: Asked about Biden's past four years, Harris initially struggled to find criticism but eventually landed on appointing a Republican to the Cabinet. Way to stick it to 'em, Kamala.

'Call Her Daddy'

Harris swung by Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast to chat women's issues and her upbringing.

  • Abortion: She highlighted restrictive abortion laws post-Roe and dropped the True fact that 1 in 3 women of reproductive age live in states with abortion bans.
  • Trump: Kamala slammed Trump's SCOTUS picks and his past comments on punishing women for abortions. Though she left out his 2016 walk-back. Awks.

'The Howard Stern Show'

Kamala kicked back with Howard Stern, bonding over Prince and cereal. Raisin bran and Special K, anyone?

  • Trump: She jabbed at Trump's COVID bleach comments, which PolitiFact rated Mostly False.
  • SCOTUS: Harris expressed concern over the Supreme Court's broad immunity decision, warning of Trump's dictatorial tendencies. Valid.

'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'

Finally, Kamala cracked open some brews with Stephen Colbert and clarified her earlier remarks.

  • Biden vs. Trump: In a hilarious cleanup attempt, Harris joked, "I’m obviously not Joe Biden. … But also … I’m not Donald Trump." Mic drop.
  • Taxes: She repeated the debunked claim that middle-class Americans pay higher taxes than billionaires. PolitiFact says False. Come on, Kamala. Do better.

And there you have it, folks! Kamala Harris's grand media tour, filled with mostly truths, some laughs, and a whole lot of Trump shade. Now, let's see if she keeps this energy up on the campaign trail. 🔥🌟
