The controversy surrounding how Vice President Kamala Harris spent her campaign money continues to swirl and now one of the podcast hosts involved is speaking up.

Harris’s experience with the “Call Her Daddy” podcast is receiving a lot of attention after it was rumored the set cost $100,000 to build. While Americans are used to politicians blowing a lot more money than that, it is still a large amount of money to spend on three walls and some props. The host of the podcast, Alexandra Cooper, was asked about the experience and controversy surrounding that interview on stage at the New York Times DealBook Summit.

Watch:

“This interview happened in DC? In a hotel?” the interviewer asked.

“Not in a hotel. It was like a random house,” Cooper clarified.

“A random house, but apparently – you can tell me – the Harris campaign spent like $100,000… you know about this? To build the studio to look like it was the studio that you used in LA.”

“My studio that is gorgeous in Los Angeles doesn’t even cost six figures, so I don’t know how cardboard walls could cost six figures,” the podcast host said.

“But you think they did that?”

“Absolutely not. With love to them, it was gorgeous but like, it wasn’t that nice. It wasn’t like gorgeous marble. Like, no, that was no six figures,” Cooper chuckled.
