In a recent media blitz, Vice President Kamala Harris made an appearance on the top-rated and sexually explicit “Call Her Daddy” podcast, discussing several topics, including her family.
During the sit down with host Alex Cooper, Harris was asked about comments made by Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR), where she implied that her lack of biological children meant she doesn’t “have anything keeping her humble.”
“I feel sorry for her, and I’m going to tell you why,” Harris said. “Because I don’t think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who, one, are not aspiring to be humble. Two, 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 very important for women to lift each other up.”
The vice president went on to say that she feels that there are families by blood and families by love, and she just happens to have both.
“I love those kids to death. Family comes in many forms, and I think that increasingly, all of us understand that this is not the 1950s anymore,” Harris said.
Sanders responded to Harris’s dig in an emailed statement to The Hill, noting that she “would never criticize a woman for not having children, the point I was making and that Kamala Harris confirmed by her own admission is that she doesn’t believe our leaders should be humble, which explains her arrogant claim that she alone can fix our nation’s problems after spending the last four years making them worse.”
The appearance on the podcast, which is known for having open conversations about sex and other relationship topics, comes as Harris’s campaign tries to show off the Democratic nominee in non-conventional interviews and forums.
Harris also addressed several questions about abortion while on the podcast, calling out former President Donald Trump for saying he would be the “protector” of women and that they wouldn’t be “thinking about abortion” if he was elected during a rally last month.
“So he, who, when he was president, hand-selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade, and they did just as he intended,” Harris told Cooper.
“This is the same guy that said women should be punished for having abortions. This is the same guy who uses the same kind of language he does to describe women?”
The vice president also said that claims from Republicans that Democrats want to allow the execution of babies after birth were a “bold-faced lie.”
“That is not happening anywhere in the United States,” Harris said, adding, “Can you imagine he’s suggesting that women in their ninth month of pregnancy are electing to have an abortion?”
