Vice President Kamala Harris’s big media week featured friendly visits as well as a couple of rough spots. However, the Democrat nominee was assured a super-soft landing this week by sitting down with race arsonist-turned MSNBC host Al Sharpton.
We watched Harris’s sitdown with Rev so you don’t have to. You may decide to feel some kind of way for us here at the MRC but remember that, as Hyman Roth told Don Michael Corleone in The Godfather II: This is the business we’ve chosen.
The interview opens with Harris being offered another opportunity to differentiate herself from the Biden Administration, specifically on foreign policy. Harris’s response offers nothing different from what we’ve heard so far.
First Sharpton question to VP Harris is, yet again, the "would you do anything different from Biden" but specific as to Israel-Hamas in light of the death of Yahya Sinwar. Again, Harris offers no differentiation from Biden. pic.twitter.com/2F1KwH5g4k

Sharpton’s second question elicits a response to President Trump calling her “a sh*t vice president.” There is no followup to Harris’s word salad, and no followup.
Sharpton asks Harris to react to Trump's "💩 VP" remarks. Harris reverts to a word salad on the norms, and her "seal of the presidency" stump speech applause line. No followup, no mention of the left's incendiary rhetoric. pic.twitter.com/Q4jYbsUFLc

Moving to community-specific matters, Sharpton evokes the memory of Shirley Chisolm (which Harris did unsuccessfully during her 2019 campaign), and provides her an opportunity to walk back the “Kamala the Cop” narrative, some of which she’s repeated on the campaign trail in positioning herself as the law-and-order candidate. Different messages for different audiences?
Sharpton and Harris try to bat down the male support narrative (lack thereof) with a Shirley Chisolm callback.

Sharpton’s fourth question invites Harris to explain, in plain language, how the Black community would be impacted by her economic policies. Having exhausted her talking points, Harris reverts to her stump speech attacks against Trump.

The fifth and final question asks Harris to reflect on what History might say about her 50 years from now, Mercifully, this “interview” is over.

On her birthday, the vice president catches a break. Instead of an interview, she got a foot massage and tongue bath airing on the most sycophantic Regime network.
This is the business we’ve chosen.
