Why did Kamala Harris go on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast? Presumably because it would let her speak about her best (only) issue this election: abortion. It would also be a friendly environment. But it begs the question: why?
We all know where Kamala Harris stands on abortion. We all know the media give Kamala softball questions. So what did she hope to gain by going on the X-rated podcast?
Perhaps I'm wrong, but -- as I've said before -- I'm getting strong 2016 vibes from this election.
And the fact that Kamala's appearance on 'Call Her Daddy' is causing backlash from the podcast's fans tells me the entire 'momentum' narrative around Kamala is all media-driven smoke and mirrors:
‘Call Her Daddy’ fans blast Alex Cooper over Kamala Harris interview: ‘Feels like propaganda’ https://t.co/gyRuo0Ngxn pic.twitter.com/sR6tWNOuat

Here's more from The New York Post:
“Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper enraged some of her fans over the weekend by dropping a surprise interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on her wildly popular podcast.
The podcast’s Instagram account posted a short teaser video Sunday morning showing Cooper, 30, interviewing the Democratic presidential nominee.
However, some “Daddy Gang” members were not pleased with Harris’ appearance on the show and flooded the post’s comment section to express their frustration and criticize the show for getting political.
“One of my most favorite podcasts and now I’ll never listen again. unbelievable,” one user commented.
“oh nooo why did we have to get THIS political. listening to your podcasts was a nice escape from everything we hear about politics daily,” another fan wrote in the comments.
These fans are correct. The Democratic Party wants politics to infiltrate every aspect of our lives, to the point where things like movies or -- in this case podcasts -- aren't free from political propaganda.
And that's what this interview was. Propaganda.
What makes this even worse, as several X users pointed out, is that Kamala sat down for this interview last Tuesday: October 1. What else was happening on October ?
People in North Carolina were dying in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Kamala went on a raunchy sex podcast while Americans were drowning from a hurricane. The left are like a walking STD that is incurable.

This is very accurate. It really speaks to the priorities Kamala has: getting attention on a podcast, talking about abortion, while Americans watched their lives fall apart and their loved ones drown in flood waters.
It also didn't get a lot of play -- as of this writing, the podcast had 126k views on YouTube. Trump's rally in Butler, PA, garnered millions of views on X.
I have to wonder if the internals show Kamala hasn't even shored up her base, frankly. It's the only logical conclusion I can draw from this appearance. This is like campaigning in California or New York -- you only do this as a Democrat if your internal polling is raising red flags.
The audience for 'Call Her Daddy' seem like Kamala's ideal crowd: women, talking about sex and abortion. This should've been a slam dunk. Instead, she's gotten no bump from it among a built-in voter base.
And that makes sense. Why? Kamala couldn't shore up the base in 2020. She ran to the left of Bernie Sanders and was the most Left-wing member of the Senate. But she dropped out of the Democratic Party primary before Iowa, having secured precisely zero delegates. Even Democratic Party voters didn't want her.
It's also my assertion that -- if the so-called defenders of democracy had held a snap primary after ousting Biden -- Kamala Harris would not be the nominee. Who would be? I don't know. But I'd have bet good money it wouldn't be Kamala.
Voters rejected her in 2020 and it appears that, despite the best efforts of the media, they're prepared to do the same in 2024.
