'Hard-hitting': Ace interviewer Kamala Harris gets Barack Obama to answer the most important questions about Joe Biden [video]

Is it possible to die of secondhand embarrassment? If so, you’d better make sure your will is in order now, because this is about as cringe as it gets:

Sen. Kamala Harris: "What's the thing about the ice cream? [Joe Biden] loves ice cream. Tell me about that."

President Obama: "Ice cream is big. Pasta with red sauce, he can go deep on that." pic.twitter.com/7C9RjqvA3j

Let’s set aside the sheer discomfort of watching that for a second and talk about the substance of Kamala Harris’ little chat about Joe Biden with Barack Obama:

Hard-hitting.

Glad we’re really drilling down on the hard-core issues here.

These are the kind of hard-hitting policy questions America needs answered about @JoeBiden.

Issues, please. No fluff.

— AnneHerzberg (@AnneHerzberg14) September 8, 2020

But fluff is all they have. When they start getting into the issues is when Joe Biden starts getting into trouble. Well, more trouble.

OK, now back to the cringe.

This is weird asf

In a way, they kind of are.

Biden like ice cream and pasketti with red sauce (NOT the white sauce) and he can also go up ramps.

A major downside to Harris being the VP pick is that we're in for a whole new round of Kamala Harris: Trying Too Hard.

She's such a god damn phony. https://t.co/BTIuoneIeH
