Cooking With Kamala Videos Make The Rounds
Hello everyone, let's talk about a video that’s resurfaced and is now making the rounds online, showing Vice President Kamala Harris in a very different light—one that’s a bit more colorful, you might say. In this clip, Harris is caught on camera while cooking, and she’s not exactly holding back when it comes to her niece, Meena Harris.
So here’s what went down. The video shows the vice president seasoning chicken and trying to explain some cooking techniques to Meena, who seems more interested in recording the whole thing than learning how to cook.
When Meena asks Harris about what she’s doing, the vice president, visibly frustrated, responds with, "You need to f***ing learn how to cook instead of video taping me." Harris goes on to express her irritation, saying she’s trying to teach her niece but that Meena is more interested in being "a video person."
This moment has taken the internet by storm, with some people finding humor in Harris's candidness, while others are a bit more critical, especially given that it shows a more unfiltered side of a politician who is currently campaigning to become the next president of the United States. Meena herself has responded to the video’s resurfacing, playfully questioning why her aunt is exposing her lack of cooking skills. But, as she mentioned, she’s learned a lot in the past four years.
Kamala Harris has recently gone viral for her cooking videos, which have been shared widely as she travels across the country on the campaign trail. In one popular clip, she offers tips on how to season a turkey, emphasizing the use of kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, thyme, and a little white wine for basting.
These videos have struck a chord with many viewers, blending her personal life with her public persona in a way that’s relatable—yet they also open her up to scrutiny, especially when things get a bit more heated, as in the video with her niece.
But while these cooking videos have been charming for some, Harris is facing serious backlash on another front: her reluctance to engage with the press. After promising an interview by the end of the month, Harris’s campaign finally agreed to a sit-down with CNN’s Dana Bash. However, the interview is pre-taped and will include Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, which has drawn criticism from Republican strategists who see this as a sign of weakness.
Scott Jennings, a former official from the George W. Bush administration, didn’t hold back, calling the decision to bring Walz along "weak sauce" and suggesting it shows a lack of confidence in Harris’s ability to handle the media on her own. He noted that Republicans are likely to view this move as a sign that Harris needs a crutch, which could further fuel doubts about her political chops.
