Kamala Harris has all but disappeared since losing the election to Donald Trump, but that hasn’t stopped criticisms emanating from her side of the aisle. While some Democrats have laughably claimed she ran a “flawless campaign“…that lost the popular vote in an electoral college landslide, others are speaking more frankly. That includes “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper.

You may remember the name of that podcast. That’s because Kamala Harris had an infamous interview on the show after spending six figures in campaign cash to build a special set in a “random house” that looked like it had been sourced from Hobby Lobby.

I mean, look at that thing. Your average contractor could have built it for $10,000 and finished it in a single day. Somehow, though, the Harris campaign managed to blow over $100,000 on it. The payoff was another embarrassing interview where the vice president ranted about abortion on her way to losing the 2024 election. 

So, how did that set “cost” so much? That was the topic Cooper was recently asked about.

REPORTER: This interview happened in D.C.

COOPER: Yeah…

REPORTER: In a hotel…

COOPER: Yeah, not in a hotel. it was like a random house. 

REPORTER: It was like a random house, but apparently, you can tell me, they spent, the Harris campaign spent like $100,000…

COOPER: I did see that. It’s hilarious.

REPORTER: …to build the studio 

COOPER: Yeah, that’s not true…

REPORTER: …to make it look like the studio that you used in L.A. 

COOPER: My studio that is gorgeous in Los Angeles doesn’t even cost six figures so I don’t know how cardboard walls could have cost six figures but…

REPORTER: But you think they did that? 

COOPER: Absolutely not. With love to them, oh my God, it was gorgeous, but it wasn’t that nice. It wasn’t like gorgeous marble. No, that was not six figures.

I’m not completely sure if Cooper is saying the report is not true or if she’s insinuating the money was spent in less than above-board ways because it couldn’t have possibly been spent on the set, but either way, the result was Harris being roasted. Cardboard walls with knick-knacks on them sitting on a hundred-square-foot floor do not cost six figures, something that Cooper points out. So where did the money go? 

That’s a question that deserves an answer, though campaign finance seems to be a black hole of accountability unless we are talking about Donald Trump. Then, all the power of the New York State government is brought to bear in a prosecution based on a novel legal theory past the statute of limitations over what amounted to a Quickbooks entry. 

Returning to Harris, why was the campaign so obsessed with making podcast hosts come to her? They tried the same thing with Joe Rogan, demanding he fly to meet the vice president while only offering him an hour to interview her. Unlike Cooper, he turned the offer down, and it probably sealed the deal for his endorsement of Trump. 

The Harris campaign was a complete cluster. Not only did they have one billion dollars to spend, but because of the compressed timeline, the money should have theoretically been more impactful. That’s because a normal campaign would have had to spend hundreds of millions keeping its head above water throughout the summer. Harris got to skip that part of the process and focus all her energy and cash on getting out the vote.

She and her campaign failed miserably at that, and the amount of money they blew, in the ways they supposedly blew it, raises serious questions about what occurred. Someone clearly got rich, and I’d kind of like to know who.
