This might be the most embarrassing moment of the entire Kamala Harris campaign.
Back in the summer, shortly after she was handed the nomination by the Democrats, Kamala booked an interview with "Subway Takes," a show on Instagram hosted by Muslim NYC influencer Kareem Rahma.
The show would never air, and here's why.
I'm not joking, that's actually a pretty accurate description of what happened.
At one point in the interview, Rahma — again, a Muslim man — asked a question about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Kamala's answer was like a hilarious deleted scene from "Veep," and there's no way to parody it, so I'm gonna have to just quote the New York Post.
Rahma said he was then told the vice president was going to argue against taking off shoes on airplanes - and only learned when the two sat down that Harris was instead going to deliver the take that ‘bacon is a spice.'
‘I don't know,' Rahma - who is Muslim and doesn't eat pork as part of his faith observance - responded to Harris in their video interview, according to the Times.
‘Think about it, it's pure flavor,' she prodded.
🤣🤣🤣
The exchange led to Rahma pausing the interview and asking for Harris to return to the topic of shoeless passengers on planes, prompting the veep to instead talk about how she likes anchovies on pizza.
‘Well,' Rahma says in the unpublished video, according to the Times. ‘I'm 100 percent unsure on both of those.'
Kamala, are you unaware that Muslims don't eat pork?
Cuz you should probably know that one.
An absolute parody of a political campaign.
And the internet had thoughts.
