Harris adviser reveals the reason VP hasn’t been sitting for more interviews: ‘Always ready with excuses’

September 21, 2024 | | Print Article

Vice President Kamala Harris is unable to sit down for more interviews because she’s allegedly “busy,” according to her senior adviser.

Appearing on CNN this Friday, senior adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms was pressed by host Jake Tapper about Harris’ noticeable lack of interviews.

“We saw Vice President Harris at the rally today in Georgia,” Tapper began. “She’s going to be in Wisconsin tonight. Yet she’s not sitting down for regular interviews, or fielding questions from the press, certainly not to the degree that her counterpart, Donald Trump is.”

“Why? Why is she not doing more interviews to talk about her policies and answer some of the questions that voters have about her policies and her change on her views on some of them?” he added.

Listen to Bottoms’ response below:

“Well, Jake, she’s done interviews, and I know that we would love or you would love to see her sit down every single day with CNN and do interviews, but it’s that she’s a very busy person,” Bottoms said. “She’s the vice president as well as the candidate, and we heard her today talk about her views on these policies. It may not be in the format that the media would like.”

“It may not be that she’s sitting down doing a one-on-one interview, but we heard her today in Georgia talk about her stance on reproductive freedom and how if she’s elected as president of the United States, how she would use the power of the pen to make sure that these freedoms are protected,” she added.

“And this is a really big conversation across the country, and especially here in Georgia, where we have this six-week abortion ban and we’ve seen two stories this week of women who died, mothers who died, because of this six-week abortion ban,” she concluded.

Critics were exceptionally unimpressed with Bottoms’ “excuses.”

Look:

Critics believe the real reason Harris is avoiding more interviews is because of her habit of responding to any question with a meaningless word salad.

Take, for instance, what happened during a campaign event this week with socialite Oprah Winfrey when an audience member asked Harris how she’d secure the border.

“So it’s a wonderful and important question,” the VP began to reply. “I, you know, my background was as a prosecutor, and I was also the elected Attorney General for two terms of the border state. So this is not a theoretical issue for me. This is something I’ve actually worked on.”

She continued rambling for three more minutes, most of it spent attacking Republicans before Winfrey cut her off.

“So to answer Justin’s question …,” Winfrey said, prodding Harris to actually answer the damn question.

Listen:

Harris went on to spew an even worse word salad when talking about her love for America.

“We love our country,” she began. “I love our country. I know we all do, that’s why everybody’s here right now. We love our country. We take pride in the privilege of being American, and this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us.”

“Let’s come together with the character that we are so proud of about who we are, which is we are an optimistic people. We are an optimistic people. Americans by character are people who have dreams and ambitions and aspirations. We believe in what is possible, we believe in what can be, and we believe in fighting for that,” she added.
