Some fans of the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy” are not happy about Kamala Harris‘ appearance on the show. During the podcast, the Democratic presidential nominee responded to Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ statement at a town hall with former President Donald Trump last month.
Sanders said, “My kids keep me humble…Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.”
“I feel sorry for her, and I’m going to tell you why,” Harris said on an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast released Sunday.
Harris told host, Alexandra Cooper, “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 really important for women to lift each other up.”
Additionally, Cooper asked Harris to address Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance’s assertion that the “entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.”
Harris told Cooper that she found the comment to be “mean and mean-spirited.”
“I think that most Americans want leaders who understand that the measure of their strength is not based on who you beat down, the real measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up,” she declared.
She also chastised Trump in the interview for portraying himself as a “protector” at a rally last month when he proclaimed that the electorate would not be “thinking about abortion” if he won, per CNN.
Harris remarked, “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.”
Listeners of the podcast have reacted negatively to the sit-down, despite presenter Cooper’s defense that she understood her conversation with Harris would split her fan base.
In a clip that played before the interview, Cooper explained her decision to have Harris on the show, saying, “As you guys know, I do not usually discuss politics or have politicians on the show because I want Call Her Daddy to be a place that everyone feels comfortable tuning in.”
She continued: “I talk about topics like mental health, relationships, sex, sexuality, trauma. Overall, my focus is women and the day-to-day issues that we face… At the end of the day, I couldn’t see a world in which one of the main conversations of this election is women and I’m not a part of it.”
Still, listeners left comments like, “Alex, you should know your fan base is mostly conservatives. Trump 2024.”
Another said, “One of my most favorite podcasts and now I’ll never listen again. Unbelievable.”
“I’m so disappointed; this feels like propaganda and trying to make her look ‘gen z,’” a third wrote.
Cooper, meanwhile, said she had contacted Trump and invited him to be on the program if he “wants to have a meaningful and in-depth conversation about women’s rights in this country.”
