Exclusive Interview: Vice President Kamala Harris Talks Reparations, Trump, and More with Charlamagne Tha God
Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for a candid and wide-ranging interview with Charlamagne Tha God on “The Breakfast Club” just three weeks before Election Day. The hour-long town hall covered a variety of topics, from reparations to Donald Trump’s name-calling.
During the interview, Harris addressed critics who called her talking points repetitive, instead labeling herself as “disciplined.” She also tackled viral moments that sparked conversations within the Black community. When asked about Trump’s insults, Harris quipped that she couldn’t respond to every name he called her and still focus on the American people.
One standout moment was when Harris celebrated her cultural upbringing in a Black church, engaging in a call-and-response exchange with Charlamagne. The Vice President also expressed openness to reparations for Black individuals, emphasizing the need for further study on the topic.
The conversation also touched on Trump’s handling of stimulus checks during the pandemic, with Harris clarifying the misconception that it was Biden, not Trump, who provided financial relief. Additionally, Harris addressed accusations of supporting fascism and clarified her prosecutorial record.
Despite some questioning why Harris chose to engage with platforms like “The Breakfast Club,” she emphasized the importance of combating misinformation and ensuring that her work is accurately represented. As Election Day approaches, Harris’s efforts to connect with voters and address pressing issues will be put to the test.
