Kamala Harris on “Call Her Daddy”: A Smart Move
I don’t usually listen to many podcasts, and I had never heard of Alexandra Cooper’s Call Her Daddy. But recently, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on the show. This was a brilliant decision because the podcast has about five million weekly listeners, making it one of the top shows. The podcast often talks about women’s issues, so it was natural for them to discuss abortion rights. I watched a bit of the interview on YouTube and thought it was a great conversation. Harris was at her best and most relatable.
The Comment Section: A Storm of Negativity
After watching, I checked out the comments. There were over 14,000 comments! Sadly, about 90% seemed to be filled with MAGA nonsense and lies. It’s always sad to see such negativity, but there’s a silver lining. Most of these comments came from people who likely don’t even listen to the podcast. They were just repeating MAGA talking points. This suggests that there was an organized effort to flood the comments with negativity. The language used made me think some comments might even come from Russian troll farms.
Why the Attack?
So why all this negativity? I haven’t seen such a MAGA swarm on other videos featuring Harris. There’s only one reason—they are scared. Call Her Daddy reaches the exact audience Harris wants to connect with. If many of the millions of women who hear this interview decide to register and vote, it could change the outcome of a close race. And if it’s not close, it might even lead to a big win.
The Power of Engagement
Even though the comments were unpleasant, they show how powerful and influential this interview could be. Once again, the Harris campaign shows a smart and effective strategy.
