NEW: Kamala’s Last-Ditch Interview Flops Badly Despite Friendly Moderator

Vice President Kamala Harris wasn’t able to turn things around with Black voters after making a highly-anticipated appearance on “The Breakfast Club” radio program where friendly host Charlamagne Tha God quizzed her on her plans to elevate Black Americans if elected. One day later, the number of listeners is just a fraction of those who tuned in to an earlier show featuring conservative Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL).

Donalds’ appearance, which spanned J6, reparations, and racism in America, in two weeks has accumulated upward of 655,000 views on YouTube compared to an anemic 191,000 for Harris one day later. The Democrat pulled out all the stops, agreeing with Charlamagne that former President Donald Trump is a “fascist,” an allegation first made by Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump who wrote in his new book that the Republican is “fascist at his core.” Another theme of her hourlong appearance was suggesting Trump is both “weak” and a threat to the country.

“The man is really quite weak,” Ms. Harris said, the New York Times reported. “He’s weak. It’s a sign of weakness that you want to please dictators and seek their flattery and favor.” President Trump, answering questions at an earlier event this week, refused to state whether he has spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving office but that it would be “smart” if he had done so. Asked by the host whether the Justice Department has moved too slowly in trying to prosecute Trump before the election, Harris demurred. “The court should handle that, and I’m going to handle November,” she said.

On Instagram, the “Breakfast Club” host posted numerous clips from the interview only to be hit with an avalanche of critical comments from both those on the left and the right. “Genocide is what she stands for,” one pro-Palestinian follower wrote in response to a video. Another reminded Charlamagne that he gave President Joe Biden a pass when he appeared on the program and stated that Black Americans “ain’t Black” if they voted for Trump in 2020. “I heard her say she was born in the middle class a million times lol then not answer anything,” wrote another.

To be sure, Charlamagne at times pushed back on the notion that Black men are failing Harris by supporting her at lower rates than they did Biden and Hillary Clinton. The host called out former President Barack Obama for “finger-waving at Black men” during a recent speech and questioned when anti-Harris white voters receive the same treatment. “What is happening is that we are all working on reminding people of what is at stake,” Harris replied. “I need to earn every vote, which is why I’m here having this candid conversation with you and your listeners,” she said.

President Trump’s campaign is keenly aware that its ability to cut into Harris’s staunch support among Black Americans may prove to be the key to victory. In cities like Pennsylvania, the Republican’s team has devoted considerable resources to reaching out to both Black and Latino communities in the heavily Democratic Philadelphia. At the same time, progressive local leaders are going public with their concern that Harris is not working as hard as possible to court voters who say they feel taken for granted by the Democratic Party.
