Can you do something that’s actually important and hold a press conference about how you’re handling the border crisis?

[MellyP]

She has the time to do 2hr+ long interviews but can't visit the border and see the consequences from her lame policies?😂

The fact she locked up innocent blacks for smoking weed and withheld evidence to keep them locked up longer and then laughed about herself smoking weed and people still voted her is insane to me.

Last I heard, these people consider friendship a crime. 🤔

How on Earth can she look in the mirror allowing the president she is vice president to, to deteriorate to this level? I mean how can you say "do what's in front of you well" and then allow herself to perform in the role of an assistant to a leader making a diabolical fool of himself internationally?

It's embarrassing for the country

What a waste of an interview. Kamala Harris is totally generic and uninspiring. They’re trying so hard to prop her up but tell me what she’s done that has improved anything for this country?

[Victoria.Taurean]

people are so ready to criticize this hard-working woman who came from such a challenged background when she clearly wakes up a lot earlier than any of you if you have time to spend trashing her on YouTube in the comments. Why don't you stop worrying about her job and get a job!

[Ryled]

When she is lying she can't look anyone in the eye, and cackles incessantly

With these high prices living is becoming a luxury.

“Yes, I slung leg right to the top and then rolled over to play second fiddle to a demented old racist.” Anything else?

[apaullotamriel]

Saying “I eat no for breakfast” sounds very male is such an odd thing to say. Everything has to come down to gender and race with so many people in this world. The fact that she said it’s very male sounding seems kind of insulting to all of the millions of successful and determined women in the world that are not deterred by adversity. Overcoming “no” in the workplace is not a male trait.

Nice interview here! While I was fellowshipping with God when I was in 2nd grade during when he was explaining at how I should pursue my college degrees, God used the words of "Terrill don't be burdened by other peoples limited view of their capacity based on who historically done what". "Terrill do what's in front of you well and the next thing will come". Concluded the fellowshipping. Terrill TC!

Enough with the "disadvantaged women" talk. You're two of the most powerful people on earth speaking to an audience that is from the richest nation on Earth, YOU'RE NOT OPPRESSED!

It is so much more admirable to just talk about your genuine success rather than the imaginary chip on your insist on talking about on your shoulder.

Nice to see you represent women, what about the other half of the population? Are they now disadvantaged?
