After trying to keep as low a profile as possible, Kamala Harris is doing a media blitz with friendly outlets like 60 Minutes, The View, and Stephen Colbert. On Tuesday, she spoke with radio host Charlamagne tha God and touched on a number of issues of interest to black voters, whom she's losing to Donald Trump. (Charlamagne tha God is the host to whom Joe Biden said, "if you’ve got a problem whether or not you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.)
Consider this caller:
A caller during Charlamagne tha God's town-hall worries that Trump will put "anyone who doesn't look white into camps."

Harris replies, "you've hit on a really important point and expressed it I think so well, which is he is achieving his intended effect--to make you scared."
Harris also touched on reparations, saying that they needed to be studied.
Harris says she's still open to reparations in Charlamagne tha God townhall. "On the point of reparations, it has to be studied. There's no question about that."

What does she mean by "studied?" Earlier this year she told The Root there have to be reparations:
"Should black people get reparations?"

She doesn't just mean monetary reparations — she wants to eliminate laws that "continue to disproportionately and negatively affect African-Americans as a group, and those that perpetuate the lingering effects, materially and psycho-social."

Kamala now says she’s open to reparations. Of course no mention on how it will get paid for.

The pandering in this Charlamagne interview is off the charts.
Reparations, paying off student loans, foreign aid. I’m done paying taxes if she wins.

There is nothing like a serving of desperation needed to evoke pandering

She is just saying whatever she needs to say to get elected. She will do none of what she is talking about doing

I was waiting for that. What a vapid pandering witch.

Looking forward to seeing how she tries to recapture her rapidly shrinking Hispanic vote.

Rep. Cori Bush has already studied reparations and concluded that they will cost $14 trillion. Where will the money come from? She'd take it out of the defense budget.
