Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her radical running mate Tim Walz have been blasted online for holding a “scripted and fake” interview with each other while they hide from the media.
Since launching her campaign 25 days ago, Harris has refused to hold a formal press conference or sit-down interview with the media.
Both Harris and Walz have shared excerpts of their new interview with each other on social media.
However, the clip was met with ridicule from conservative critics who said it encapsulates the fakeness of Harris’s entire campaign.
The clip in question was taken from a longer discussion between the Democrat ticket.
The full interview was released on Thursday.
The clip features the two playfully reminiscing about the phone call Harris made to ask Walz to be her running mate.
Harris teased Walz for missing the initial phone call.
“I called you, Tim. I called you, Tim.”
A bashful-looking Walz replied, “Yes.”
“You didn’t answer, Tim,” the vice president continued.
“I know. I know. The most important call of my life,” Walz said, as Harris laughed.
“It popped up, and we didn’t recognize the caller ID, and it went to uh, it went to voicemail.”
The clip then flashed to a scene of Harris listening to Walz’s voicemail and leaving one of her own, saying, “Hey Tim, it’s Kamala.
“I really want to talk to you.”
The scene then jumped back to the two candidates, with Walz saying, “It is an amazing privilege.
“I’m excited. I just want to be part of the excitement that you’re generating.”
“Well, we’re doing it together, buddy,” Harris replied as the clip ended.
WATCH:
Her official account captioned the video, stating:
“I could not imagine a better partner than @Tim_Walz to lead our campaign.”
The clip received nearly two million views on X in a day.
However, many of the responses to the video trashed it for being inauthentic and cringe-inducing.
After viewing the clip, conservative commentator Blaire White asked on X:
“So your response to accusations of hiding from interviews is to put out a scripted conversation?”
Conservative commentator duo The Hodge Twins asked:
“How many times did y’all act this out before you got it right?
“Completely scripted and fake.”
Prominent conservative account “End Wokeness” called the clip the “Fakest sh*t I’ve ever seen.”
Author Hans Mahncke ripped the duo for interviewing each other rather than being interviewed by the media.
“OMG they can’t do interviews so instead they talk to each other and hope we don’t notice the difference,” he posted.
Journalist Steve Krakauer wrote:
“Well, they finally did an interview.
“(Every journalist with an ounce of self-respect should be furious.)”
Pro-Trump social media influencer ALX mocked Harris’s unnatural mannerisms in the video.
“Normal people totally say the person’s name they’re talking to three times in the first 3 seconds.”
Conservative talk radio host Cash Loren blasted the clip as “Another scripted fake and cringe phone call.”
