Vice President Kamala Harris is facing sharp criticism after conducting an interview with Philadelphia’s Action News 6, where she dodged key questions and offered vague, disjointed responses on pressing issues like inflation. The interview, her first solo media appearance since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, has been described by critics as another instance of Harris delivering what has been dubbed “word salad.”
During the nearly 11-minute interview, anchor Brian Taff opened with a question on how Harris planned to tackle inflation. Instead of directly addressing the economic issue, Harris pivoted to a personal story. “I grew up as a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard,” Harris began, before shifting to a discussion of lawns and dignity, but not the economy.
Her answers failed to outline any specific plan for lowering inflation, though she did highlight policies like providing a $25,000 handout for new homeowners and tax breaks for small businesses.
When asked how she differs from President Joe Biden, Harris offered little clarity, stating, “I’m obviously not Joe Biden, and I offer a new generation of leadership,” but failing to elaborate on any specific differences. Similarly, she skirted a question on why former President Donald Trump appeals to many Americans, offering broad statements about unity rather than addressing Trump’s popularity directly.
Perhaps her most straightforward response came when discussing gun violence. Harris, who described herself as a licensed gun owner, reassured that she would not take “anyone’s guns away” but advocated for stronger background checks and a ban on assault weapons, which she referred to as “literally tools of war.”

Hey,Kamala this exists already.Its called the SBA. An individual can borrow up to a 1 million dollars from the government to start a business. She speaks as if we all know nothing. Empty nonsense.
I love the idea of helping people start businesses and as a tax break it’s a fantastic idea. The 25k for homeownership is a good one too.
It’s funny how the article calls it a handout as if it’s a bad thing. Frum families desperately need help in buying a home, especially as we price each other out of homeownership.
She certainly sounds better then Nazi lover Trump.
DrG, she said it would be a tax deduction not a loan. Did you not listen to the interview or you just hate Harris (or both).
Personally I think they’re both bad. I just can’t take the dishonesty coming from frum circles that imagine trump to be some sort of amazing person. He’s an unethical, non charitable person that kisses up to Nazi lovers and the extreme far right antisemites.
To only play the interview without point by point rebuttal is pointless. I heard the interview and except when she rambled about her upbringing she did answer the questions. That is the problem. I have watched many on the street interviews. Most people know they are voting for Harris or Trump but can not articulate why. Therefore if Harris just says a word salad many people fall for it. Trump could use this interview but there must be rebuttals and clarifications
chasid,
You are unfortunately misinformed about Mr. Trump. Stop believing the lying Democrats. When the USA crashes with Harris type leadership, you will not be safe from the Nazis.
Handout for first time homebuyers will
1- cause inflation in home prices as the sellers realize there is more money available.
2-will in the long term create a new bill to be paid by the taxpayers either via taxes which will cost you..or inflation of our currency.
3-giving out money to small businesses especially where most fail is another liability that would cause inflation and higher taxes.
4- if Kamala suddenly got antisemitic supporters in a swing state like pa would she voice her criticism. With an election this tight unfortunately every vote counts and ethics and virtue is a forgotten word in politics.
@chasid this is not new I got my house with a down payment great. Called first time home buyer I got 25k free and as far as starting a business like the first comment there is the SBA
Chasid: Your understanding of economics is as lacking as Mrs. Harris. Offering 25k for down payment for home buying to people who can’t afford to pay the mortgage will not only drive up housing costs but will end up repeating the mortgage crisis triggered by Andrew Cuomo when he ran HUD. He pressured the banks to write mortgages to minorities and others who could not afford to pay the mortgages resulting in the housing and mortgage crisis and recession.
Also you’re secular woke attitude of judging Trump by one action, ignoring all the positive things he’s done and all the Jews he loves or knows, proves your moniker “chasid” is fake.
Chusid,
I take it that you’re looking to sell your house for 25,000 more
I wouldn’t be surprised
But don’t worry because Kamala is going to take her cut from taxes on that too
Everyone should get it equally. Not just those below a certain income, or only first time home buyers.
Otherwise, it’s socialism, which has failed in EVERY country.
USA is the strongest economy in the world, because it is capitalist, and treating those with lower income better, or only first time homebuyers, will bring people down, bring the economy down, and turn USA into Venezuela.
Look around our community. People are LITERALLY trying to make less, and be less successful, so that they should not lose social programs.
Remove ALL social benefits for low income, and people will be a lot happier and more successful.
When my father stopped supporting me, I felt hurt and let down.
But BECAUSE of that, I became who I am today, with all the glory and success.
Social programs MAKE people poor!!!!!!!!
Look around the world. FACT!!
chasid says:
Shows how stupid and UNSMART you are,
its all TALK by the democrats and Harris, (Its all worse under their leadership)
All was better Under trump (He is not God, but he is a way better Leader)
Stupid People Like you vote for Jew hatters Like Harris she hates israel,.
And hey Trump Aint no Nazi lover, go do your research how many good things he’s done for people and for jews.
Chasid, she wants to give tax credits to some people in some situations, but not lower taxes. She wants to raise taxes and her economic policies will undoubtedly cause even higher inflation so people in all classes will suffer.
“Is facing sharp criticism” from who ??? Did anybody speak out against this interview ???
Harris is attempting to lore people to vote for her with her false promises and hiding her true policies. that’s why she isn’t expressing her policies. Once she comes to power the country will be rolling down. In the meantime she is succeding.
I don’t know. I listened to the entire interview and she did not answer the questions appropriately. She danced around the subject without answering. I don’t really care if your neighbors were proud of their lawns, I want to know how milk and eggs will come down in price. I want to know how insurance will become more affordable again! Oh, she’s gonna build 3 million homes by becoming “partners” with the homebuilders by providing tax credits? Can you please delineate what those tax credits will actually look like? Or will the answer just amount to “opportunity economy”?!
Have we not yet learned how BAD handouts are for our economy?! We’re dealing with the worst inflation in more than 4 decades, in large part, the result of the Covid handouts, yet this fool wants to fix the economy with yet MORE handouts?!!
As for Trumps ultra right wing base – they’re a fringe group, not his core base. He has a Jewish daughter, son in law, grandchildren! I have not a shred of a doubt, Jews – worldwide – are WAY safer (על פי טבע, obviously) under a Trump president than a Harris president. Harris and her VP are pandering to the ultra left wing, which are a way larger group than the ultra right wing group who backs Trump.
@UncleMo.
Her Intention with SAYING she will grant handouts isn’t in order to fix the economy but to win votes. The public are buying her trash.
