Fans of the hit podcast Call Her Daddy shredded Alex Cooper after she released her surprise interview with Vice President Kamala Harris Sunday.
The vice president, who has been subject to intense criticism for her lack of interviews, follows up her appearance on the NBA-themed All The Smoke with an appearance on Alex Cooper’s wildly-popular chat show.
The show’s Instagram account posted a brief tease of the interview, which dropped Sunday morning, and was met with anger from many of the show’s ‘Daddy Gang’ listeners over the ‘softball’ questioning and making the show political.
‘Unsubscribed and unfollowed,’ wrote one fan in the comments.
‘I’m so disappointed, this feels like propaganda and trying to make her look ‘gen z’,’ added another. ‘You’re gonna look back on this one day and regret it when we are in a war because of her. SMH, truly smh. You just lost a lot of respect.’
Others noted that it seemed in bad taste given the Biden-Harris administration’s response to the devastation left by Hurricane Helene.
‘Wow shame on you! You sold your soul on this one while people need help you had this lady on a pod cast,’ one fan wrote.
‘I hope everyone unfollows you and no one watches your crap pod cast ever again.’
Some joined the online fracas to support Cooper and the show, noting that Cooper has spoken in favor of abortion rights, which a Harris spokesperson confirmed was on the agenda.
‘Fascinating that people are shocked that a woman who has talked about abortion rights for years would interview a woman Vice President who is running for President about abortion rights?! It’s like being shocked that Charlotte Tilbury is doing someone’s makeup.’
‘Imagine boycotting someone for having a presidential nominee on their show,’ wrote another. ‘You should be proud of your girl. You don’t have to like and agree with every guest.’
‘TRUMP 2024 never listening to this show again,’ commented one conservative listener. ‘Ask her about her POLICIES instead of all the soft ball interviews she has gotten.
Harris avoided the show’s typically raunchy, sexual content speaking with Cooper, allowed the vice president to repeat her typical talking points on abortion rights and student debt.
She said of her combined family with husband Doug Emhoff and his two adult children: ‘This is not the 1950s anymore. We have family by blood and family by love.’
Harris also reacted to J.D. Vance’s comments about ‘childless cat ladies’ running the country by saying: ‘I just think it’s mean.
The campaign added that Harris will talk to the ‘cultural phenomenon’ – which landed Cooper a $125 million SiriusXM deal – about other issues important to women leading up to the election.
