Vice President Kamala Harris faced backlash from fans of the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy” after a surprise interview with host Alex Cooper. The podcast’s Instagram account posted a teaser video of the interview on Sunday morning. Many fans expressed frustration and criticized the show for delving into politics.
“One of my most favorite podcasts and now I’ll never listen again. Unbelievable,” one user commented. Another fan wrote, “Oh nooo, why did we have to get THIS political?
Listening to your podcasts was a nice escape from everything we hear about politics daily.”
Some fans accused the interview of being propaganda. “I’m so disappointed; this feels like propaganda and trying to make her look ‘Gen Z,'” another user commented. Part of the audience was upset that Cooper did not address issues like illegal immigration and the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Hurricane Helene’s devastation.
Harris interview sparks fan outrage
“Ask her about what she’s doing to help hurricane victims instead of talking in circles about women’s rights,” one fan suggested. During the interview, Harris discussed strategies to combat sexual and domestic violence.
She also talked about how an experience with a friend who was a victim of abuse in high school inspired her to become a prosecutor. However, some fans felt the interview lacked depth and missed addressing important issues. Harris criticized her GOP opponent, former President Donald Trump, for appointing Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.
She called his claims about her stance on abortion “outrageously inaccurate and insulting.”
“Call Her Daddy” is known for its candid discussions about relationships, sex, and advice for women. The podcast recently moved from Spotify to SiriusXM in a reported $125 million deal. It has featured high-profile guests like Simone Biles, Miley Cyrus, Megan Fox, Emily Ratajkowski, and Hailey Bieber.
The uproar over the Harris interview shows the challenges faced by content creators when delving into politically sensitive topics, especially on platforms known for their recreational content.
