A Kamala Harris aide attempted to shut down an interview with Charlamagne Tha God after the vice president was asked who the "real" president is.
"I want to know who the real president of this country is — is it Joe Biden, or Joe Manchin?" Charlamagne asked Friday during his Comedy Central show, "Tha God’s Honest Truth," alluding to the influence Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.V.) has in Washington as Democrats are unable to pass their social spending bill through the Senate without his vote.
One of the vice president's aides then tried to step in and end the interview, but Harris answered the question anyway, saying that President Joe Biden is the U.S. president before accusing Charlamagne of invoking GOP talking points.
"C’mon, Charlamagne," she said, to which the host responded by saying that that he "can’t tell sometimes."
"No, no, no, no, it’s Joe Biden," Harris said. "And don’t start talking like a Republican, about asking whether or not he’s president. … And it’s Joe Biden, it’s Joe Biden and I'm vice president and my name is Kamala Harris," she continued.

She then touted components of the spending bill, such as the child tax credit that she claimed would reduce "black child poverty by 50 percent."
"I hear the frustration, but let's not deny the impact that we've had and agree also that there is a whole lot more work to be done and it is not easy to do," Harris said. "But we will not give up and I will not give up."
Additionally, Charlamagne argued that Manchin, a moderate Democrat who has expressed opposition to his party's massive spending plans, was "holding up progress" and hurting black people when he bucks party lines.
But Harris noted that Democrats have a slim majority in the Senate, where there is a 50-50 majority split but with Harris holding the final vote in the event of a tie, and alleged that the Republicans were united in blocking the administration's agenda.
"I think it's a mistake to try and think about this only through the lens of Democrats versus Democrats when the fact is Republicans are consistently and unanimously standing in the way of progress," Harris said.
Charlamagne said that Americans need Harris to be the "superhero who saves democracy" and pointed out that he liked her passionate response to his question about who the real president is.
Maybe the real President is the one who has the loyalty of the American people.
They were afraid she was gonna say V J
Hmmm. Perhaps CTG isn’t black anymore.
Great. Thirty trillion in debt already and they can't hide their excitement that the next trillion will "reduce black child poverty by 50 percent." Whatever that means.
Do they know who it was that tried to stop the interview? Maybe it was VJ!
See that is the REAL Kamala Harris, the Kamala Harris that Willie Brown knew..a bit of her came out during this interview and the reason why everyone on her staff are dropping her like a sack of potatoes
A gushing lovefest video. Not the contentious brouhaha the clickbait headline indicates.
How many times did she giggle like an idiot during the interview?
LOL this is kinda freaking me out.. in my circles in vaping - VJ means ME... Vaporjoe lol.
very little thats what concerns me
“Whatever that means.”
Exactly. These lies have been marketed, promoted as fact and promises are never delivered upon for decades, yet no one is ever accountable. Else poverty would have been eradicated by now. Grifters.

I heard it was “Let’s Go Brandon”, no?
The ONLY way to reduce Black Child Poverty is to REDUCE the number of black kids by 50%
Some leftover Obama Stooge is President
Nothing is ever going to reduce that. They’ve been throwing money at welfare recipients for decades and the problem keeps getting worse.
Throw billions away on the climate change hoax and 50% is the best RATS can do? Almost sounds like they enjoy both problems.
