CNN: Vice President Kamala Harris's current lodgings don't have 'the laid-back vibe' she and her husband prefer

While we were researching that post on the 9-year-old migrant girl who drowned while trying to cross the Rio Grande, someone mentioned that the border crisis wasn’t even mentioned on CNN’s home page. So, we decided to visit CNN’s home page to see what they were covering — kind of like CNN’s Brian Stelter watching Fox News every night to complain about what they’re covering.

Does Stelter know that the top story on cnn.com right now is about Vice President Kamala Harris getting frustrated that her mansion isn’t ready yet?

It's been more than two months since Kamala Harris was sworn in as vice president of the US, yet due to renovations to the private residence reserved for the VP, Harris and her husband can't move in yet. https://t.co/4NNoKhdVWt

Wow, is CNN saying that government-contracted renovations on the vice president’s residence at the Naval Observatory are late and over-budget? CNN reports that Harris popped in recently to request work be done on the kitchen; “it’s the meditative and relaxing quality of cooking up family meals that Harris has cited in multiple interviews as therapeutic, and it’s something she’s still waiting to do in her official residence.”

But for now, she and husband Douglas Emhoff are living out of suitcases at the vice president’s guest residence, Blair House:

Although Blair House provides comfortable, even luxurious, accommodations, Harris and Emhoff’s current surroundings lack the creature comforts of a home. Antiques and museum-quality pieces of American history deck each of the 100-plus rooms, which include a gym and a private hair salon. And although the professional, full-time staff of more than a dozen provide amenities as accommodating as a luxury hotel, Blair House does not offer the laid-back vibe Harris and Emhoff are said to prefer when they are home. The couple enjoy a more casual, West Coast informality, with frequent visits from family and large Sunday suppers, the former California senator has said.

I can understand the @VP’s “frustration”. Living in a luxury mansion with 12 full time staff members while her real house is being redecorated to reflect her “more casual, West Coast” style. I’m sure the 500K+ people who slept on the streets last night would understand as well.

Shouldn't you report on more important topics? Look at all the people at the border sleeping on the ground stacked together that can't afford housing, now that's the real news, she already owns a home.

And this is more important than the CRISIS at the border? What kind of BLEEPING netwotk are you running? @AC360

this might be one of the most tone-deaf articles you have ever posted. are people supposed to feel bad for her and her husband because she has to suffer through the luxury of having 12 servants on hand 24/7? are you implying racism is the cause of two month renovations?

She knows she doesn't belong there. And no, she doesn't belong in the Oval Office either.
