“Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper was baffled over reports Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed campaign blew six figures to build a version of her California-based studio in Washington, DC for their controversial pre-election interview – claiming the makeshift “cardboard” set “wasn’t that nice.”
The failed Democratic presidential nominee reportedly used $100,000 from her $1 billion war chest to build the fake set of the wildly popular podcast in a “random house” for the surprise Oct. 6 interview, which the Los Angeles-based podcaster laughed off as “hilarious.”
“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,” Cooper, 30, said during a recent interview at the New York Time’s DealBook Summit.
“With love to them, it was gorgeous, but it wasn’t that nice,” she joked as the audience laughed along.
“It wasn’t like gorgeous marble, like no, that was not six figures.”
The 60-year-old’s campaign has since been heavily criticized for burning through a reported massive amount of her funds in just over 100 days, including millions spent on advertisements and events attended by celebrities.

Crappy 100 thousand dollar cardboard sets never fed a hungry child, Momela
The IRS should take a close look at her campaign workers’ personal accounts in the last year. That set probably didn’t come anywhere near $100k, tax free money just went into pockets.
Like a drunken sailor.
BTTT
“BTTT”
There was a time, based on your join date and mine, that was used to keep the post moving back to the top, now it doesn’t move the post at all.
So I’m curious, as I’ve seen it used at times, what significance does it have now?
Not an attack, just a question.
The guy that cut out the “call her daddy” letters overcharged a tad😁
Cute.
The candidate was cardboard too!
I’m guessing they also paid the cost of Alex Cooper’s airfare, hotel and other expenses to travel to D.C. because Kamala didn’t want to travel to California to do the podcast at the actual set.
Graphic design and display companies aren’t cheap, and when you need it ‘yesterday’, they LOVE to help you achieve your goals....
If you need it fast, you gonna pay.
This is why she should lose. She doesn’t know the value of money. She conned donors out of cash that she threw away.
Money received by vendors, consultants or employees is not tax free to the party that receives it. It is taxable income.
Depends on how you are viewing FR.

“Most recent article” posts articles in the order posted but, doesn’t care about replies.
It’s called MONEY LAUNDERING Ms. Cooper . . . overpay a contractor and get a kickback . . . perfected by the Biden presidency.
Why are the donors furious? Because they are now seeing the truth of how they were basically stolen from . . . all in a ‘legal’ manner.
There were probably plenty of grifters handling Kamala’s campaign funds who spent lavishly while pocketing chunks of the money for themselves.
No one will EVER demand to see THEIR bank records
They may have SPENT $100,000 but I bet it didn’t really COST $100,000!
Obviously it doesn’t cost that much. The whole point is to spread around crate blanche the half-billion dollars donated to her campaign. Grift. Greed. Corruption. Cronyism. Etc.
