With Vice President Kamala Harris set to appear on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, the liberal ladies spent part of their Monday show praising her for only making media appearances with friendly shows and outlets like theirs. Fake Republican and ABC News co-host, Ana Navarro lashed out at Harris’s critics who said she need to actually answer tough questions, shrieking: “What more do you all want?!”
“You know, there's been a lot of moaning and groaning for weeks now that Kamala Harris hasn't been doing interviews, isn't doing interviews,” Navarro huffed.
She then proceeded to list off some of the media appearances Harris had done and had coming up, seemingly ignorant of the fact that many of the hosts were either openly liberal, leaned to the left, openly anti-Trump, or had publically endorsed her at some point:
So look, tomorrow she's doing The View live. It is the first LIVE interview she does [sic] since becoming the nominee. She's been here before. She's doing The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She's doing The Howard Stern Show. She did 60 Minutes. She's doing a Univision town hall on Thursday night. She did Call Her Daddy. She did Ricky Smiley. She did Oprah for two hours. She did All the Smoke. She did Dana Bash on CNN. She did Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC.
“What more do you all want?!” Navarro unironically shrieked.
Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin immediately chimed in to commend Harris for finally going on podcasts, something the Trump campaign had been doing for months already:
But he’s been targeting what would be – we consider low propensity voters; ones who aren’t likely to turn out. And he specifically wants young, white men.
Kamala Harris – This is the second biggest podcast in the world after Joe Rogan. I love Alex Cooper, I love Call Her Daddy. She is reaching a lot of people who likely don't always vote. They're not necessarily engaged, but she's talking about issues in a real way that they care about. And it could really come down to who can activate more people from these platforms they’re hitting.
It’s no surprise Harris chose to appear alongside the ladies of The View. As a recent NewsBusters study found, the week following the second assassination attempt on former President Trump, The View was 100 percent negative against Trump and 100 percent positive for Harris.
In recent weeks, Farah Griffin teamed up with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to push Harris as a moderate. They lashed out at Jeff Walz, the brother of Harris’s running mate Governor Tim Walz (MN), for speaking out against his brother, telling him to “mind you own damn business!” They also celebrated the Democratic National Convention with the campaign’s approved talking point proclaiming it “joyful,” and insisting she was “running a flawless campaign.”
If their recent interview with President Biden was any indicator of how the Harris interview would go, it would be an absolute gushfest.

ANA NAVARRO: You know, there's been a lot of moaning and groaning for weeks now that Kamala Harris hasn't been doing interviews, isn't doing interviews. So look, tomorrow she's doing The View live. It is the first LIVE interview she does [sic] since becoming the nominee. She's been here before. She's doing The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She's doing The Howard Stern Show. She did 60 Minutes. She's doing a Univision town hall on Thursday night. She did Call Her Daddy. She did Ricky Smiley. She did Oprah for two hours. She did All the Smoke. She did Dana Bash on CNN. She did Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC. What more do you all want?!

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: So, an interesting kind of like side thing in this election, is it can kind of come back to the podcast wars. And what I mean by this, is Donald Trump – Sara’s pointed this out – has been targeting right-of-center, male-driven, young audience podcasts for a while. Think of it as the Joe Rogan crowd. He hasn’t specifically done Joe Rogan’s but some others –
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: He’s made at Joe.
FARAH GRIFFIN: Yeah, because he complimented Kamala Harris
But he’s been targeting what would be – we consider low propensity voters; ones who aren’t likely to turn out. And he specifically wants young, white men.
Kamala Harris – This is the second biggest podcast in the world after Joe Rogan. I love Alex Cooper, I love Call Her Daddy. She is reaching a lot of people who likely don't always vote. They're not necessarily engaged, but she's talking about issues in a real way that they care about. And it could really come down to who can activate more people from these platforms they’re hitting.
So, I think it's incredibly smart. I would have done it two months ago, but I'm glad she did it.
GOLDBERG: Well, I think people should just know it – it – it is not easy to do what – what she's doing because she's still also the vice president. So, she's still got other things she's supposed to be doing as does our acting president, Joe Biden.
