Call Her Daddy









	Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris appeared in a new episode of Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, where she spoke about abortion rights, student loan forgiveness and remarks made by Donald Trump and JD Vance. 

	In the episode, released Sunday, Harris criticized former President Trump’s stance on women’s rights and reproductive freedom, particularly following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. 

	At one point, Harris commented on Trump repeating the false claim during September’s presidential debate that Democrats support states “executing” babies after they are born.

	“That is not happening anywhere in the United States. It’s a bold face lie. Just a boldfaced lie that he is suggesting,” Kamala said. “Can you imagine he’s suggesting that women in their ninth month of pregnancy are electing to have an abortion? Are you kidding? That is so outrageously inaccurate and it’s so insulting to suggest that that would be happening and that women would be doing that. It’s not happening anywhere.”

	“This guy is full of lies,” Harris continued, referring to Trump. “I mean, I just have to be very candid with you.” 

	Harris also responded to Trump telling women, “You will be protected, and I will be your protector,” at a rally on Sept. 23.

	“So he, who, when he was president, hand selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade and they did just as he intended and there are now 20 states with Trump abortion bans, including bans that make no exceptions for rape or incest, which we just discussed, which means that you’re telling a survivor of a crime with a violation of their body, they don’t have a right to make a decision about what happens to their body next, which is immoral,” Harris said on the podcast. “So, this is the same guy that is now saying that, this is the same guy that said women should be punished for having abortions. This is the same guy who uses the same kind of language he does to describe women? So yeah, there you go.”

	Elsewhere in the interview, Harris shared her thoughts on Ohio Sen. Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comment he made in a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson. “I just think it’s mean and mean spirited,” she said. “And I think that most Americans want leaders who understand that the measure of their strength is not based on who you beat down, the real measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up.”
