Despite bristling at the description, Vice President Kamala Harris remained a DEI pick by President Joe Biden’s own selection process. During a conversation with Fox News Digital, Michaels admitted why she previously voted for her and why now she’d “lean” toward former President Donald Trump.
“I actually voted for her years ago for Senate, believe it or not, because…I’m gonna be honest. I liked that she was a woman. I liked that she was of color,” the host of the Club Random Studios podcast “Keeping It Real” explained. “But since then, I’m underwhelmed by what she’s done. Like, if we’re just looking at what she’s done, I don’t really understand what the major accomplishments are.”
Michaels also called out the coronation of the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee as she said, “What just happened with Kamala Harris — she didn’t get one vote. Not one vote. Not one.”
“She’s being put in that role by very powerful corporate interests,” added the fitness expert. “As a democracy, we’re supposed to choose who gets that nomination.”
“People on the right were saying, hey, this is what’s gonna happen,” she went on. “And they’re gonna keep Biden in there so he doesn’t look like a lame duck. And then he’s gonna drop out at the very last minute and they’re gonna slot in exactly who they want. And then there’ll be no time for a vicious primary where the Democratic candidates would tear each other apart because you saw that happen with the Republicans. And the long and short of it is, I just want people to see on both sides the fact that they’re both lying. They’re both pulling the same stuff. Both sides.”
As for Trump, Michaels asserted, “If you ask me to go policy by policy, I probably would lean more towards some of his policies.”
“Listen, he’s done a ton of stuff I don’t like, obviously. You know, the ‘grab ’em by the’ you know,” she said before referencing allegations made about Trump walking into the dressing rooms during beauty pageants. “January 6 bothers me. I wish he was less bombastic and less divisive. I do. Now, if you were to ask me about some of his policies over some of the policies on the left, I’m gonna lean into that.”
“I want this war with Russia over. Personally for me…there’s Russian submarines 90 miles off the coast of Miami. Like, I live there! I want that to end now!” said Michaels who’d recently fled her native California over the “f*cking mind-boggling” leftist laws being passed there. “Gender-affirming care? I think that needs to end. That’s very scary for me.”
“I would love to see immigration reform where you take x amount of people a year who’ve been heavily vetted that can pay into the system and contribute to the economy,” she added while also revealing her support for third-party candidate environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“He makes the most sense to me, truthfully,” she told Fox News Digital while qualifying. “I declined to say who I’m voting for simply because I don’t want to endorse anyone and I don’t want to alienate anyone. If I was to tell you the candidate that I genuinely — because when I think about what RFK does in health, as well — that speaks to me personally. And when he talks, I feel like he’s not divisive. I feel like he’s talking to me and explaining things to me. So that’s probably where I would fall, to be dead honest with you.”
