Kamala Harris called Anderson Cooper a [redacted] after tense interview on Biden's debate meltdown: bombshell book
New York Post ^ | May 23, 2025 | Anna Young

Former Vice President Kamala Harris blasted Anderson Cooper as a [redacted] to colleagues following a tense interview over former President Joe Biden's catastrophic debate performance against Donald Trump last year, a bombshell new book revealed.

The then-veep unleashed the disparaging remark after the CNN host grilled her on Biden's cognitive health immediately following his disastrous showing in June -- that ignited widespread panic and ultimately led to the octogenarian dropping out of the race.

"This [redacted] doesn't treat me like the [redacted] vice president of the United States, she said to colleagues," according to the new book "Original Sin," co-authored by Anderson's CNN colleague Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson...

Harris, who was encouraged by her aides to cancel all post-debate interviews after her boss appeared frail and stone-faced, often losing his train of thought while going toe-to-toe with Trump, downplayed concerns from her party when she appeared on CNN.

Cooper spoke of Democrats describing "panic" over Biden's "disaster" or "train wreck" of a debate. He questioned if the president should step aside.

Harris fought back, telling the anchor that Biden had a "slow start" but finished "strong."

"People can debate on style points," she added when pressed by Cooper.

"I got the point that you're making about a one-and-a-half-hour debate tonight -- I'm talking about three and a half years of performance and work that has been historic."

...Tapper and Thompson wrote that Harris took Cooper's questions, which reflected the nation's concerns, personally.

In my family some of those conversations date back to 1988 when Slo Joe plagiarized Ian Paisley.

Could you imagine the state of the US right now if this drunken harridan had managed to pull off another electoral cheat?

Whatever her remarks may rhyme with, it sure doesn’t put her in first place running for any government office next time around. Not that she would have been anyway.

“It’s crass, offensive name-calling typical of Kamala’s low-class character,...”

“Please don’t associate Kamala with the lower classes. I doubt she would show up at the Oasis, much preferring to hang out at black-tie affairs.”

You associated her with the lower classes, but don’t kid yourself. The “upper classes” are as crass, vulgar, and perverted as we lower class folk. They just don’t show it in public.

Biden and Kamala were both the equivalent of “Yellow Dogs” to the democrats.
A Yellow Dog Democrat is one who would vote for a Yellow Dog for President before they would vote for a qualified Republican.

I posted here on January 20, 2021 that Kamala Harris would be President by the time the cherry blossoms appeared.

If we had a decent index to our posts I’d give you the link.

Even I didn’t imagine they would run the con for four whole years.

Con artists always continue the con until they are caught and thrown in prison.

Since nobody was punished for lying they figured they could keep on lying.

They are still lying for exactly that reason.

MF has been around since before I was in the military 60 years ago. Its use on the street is so common that it is now an acceptable part of the urban patois.
It now has several meanings, both derogatory and complimentary.
It depends on who is the MF and the exact usage of the word.
Those of you who are offended need to keep it to yourselves.

"This [redacted] doesn't treat me like the [redacted] vice president of the United States, she said to colleagues,"

She done be disrespected. She doesn't even realize she was VP for 100% DEI reasons.

Her cognitive health is no better than Biden’s both are pride of their party it’s why they were placed in office.

Props proved to be handy for all the damage they did to the country.

“The ongoing destruction of DEI”

I believe all that is being destructed is the visibility and celebrations. I think the underlying hiring and promoting decisions are largely continuing.

A usually leftist journo-list conducts an actual fact-finding interview and catches flack for it from a leftist VP… chickens coming home to roost.
