Vice President Kamala Harris spoke about taking in her husband’s two children as her own and called Sen. JD Vance’s (R-OJ) “childless cat ladies” comment “mean-spirited” on the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, which dropped on Sunday. Harris sat down with podcast host Alex Cooper to discuss a number of topics with just four weeks until the November election.

During one moment of their conversation, Cooper read Harris a quote from Republican Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders insulting her for not having children of her own. Huckabee Sanders previously said of Harris, who has two stepchildren, “My kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.” Asked by Cooper for her reaction, Harris replied:

I don’t think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who one, are not aspiring to be humble. Two, a whole lot of women out here, who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life and I think it’s very important for women to lift each other up.

One of the things that I have really enjoyed about where the discussion has gone, one of the places it’s gone is about, I feel very strongly, we each have our family by blood and then we have our family by love. And I have both. And I consider it to be a real blessing. And I have two beautiful children: Cole and Ella, who call me “Momala.”

[Boomerproud]

1. She was married for the 1st time at age 49.

Is she and Doug supposed to start a family when she's 50? This is insane.

[twodogsbarking]

2. This is not the 1850's either.

[peppertree]

8. The Hickabees' favorite decade.

[Blue_Roses]

21. "The Hickabees..."

Perfect description

[peppertree]

22. Why - thank you, sugar.

Having grown up in Mi'ssippi, I'm familiar with that demographic.

They'd rather vote for "one of us" - even if it's a grifting pig who banks in the Caymans and doesn't give a flying fig for them - than "some n***** lover."

Not all of them, mind you - but, sadly, most.

It is what it is.

[Blue_Roses]

25. Yes

I was born and raised in Louisiana. You're singing to the choir...

[Different Drummer]

26. Georgia here. I'm right in that choir with you.

[Different Drummer]

27. FWIW, Sanders was born in 1982.

Given that, I don't know why she would like the 50's so much. Decade envy, maybe?

[peppertree]

28. Sarah - and her voters - seem obsessed with the '50s alright. The 1850s.

"Back when people knew their place!"

"You realize your forebears were dirt poor back then - while the big landowners muscled them out of their land, right?"

"Well - you know what I mean..."

Typical conversation in Mississippi, on that subject.

[JohnnyRingo]

3. I would not consider Huckabee "humble".

Far from it. She seems to exude a rather holier than thou attitude and an inflated belief she's infallible.

Her kids aren't doing a very good job.

[AZLD4Candidate]

6. Carlin said it best: The flag, the Bible, and children. The three normal political props for Republicans.

[barbtries]

11. correct.

humble my ass. she's loathsome.

[ShazzieB]

16. She's loathsome all right.

She's also a nepo baby. There's no way she'd be governor of that state if her father wasn't a popular former governor. Her entire political career is based on the name Huckabee, along with her willingness to tell endless lies for Donald Trump.

And she thinks those "sterling credentials" entitle her to cast aspersions on someone as experienced, brilliant, and talented as Kamala Harris? Give me a freaking break!

[Beartracks]

17. "Humble for thee, but not for me."

[flying_wahini]

4. If this was the 50's Sarah Hucakabee would be at home with no education or platform for her hate.

[AZLD4Candidate]

5. mean spirited? No more weak sauce words, Democrats!

USE THEIR PLAYBOOK AGAINST THEM!!!

He isn't mean-spirited. He's a racist, sexist, aloof, xenophobic jackass! Works a lot better than "mean spirited."

They don't engage in disinformation. . .they lie as easily as they breathe.

They don't put up unworkable solutions. . .they spout bullshit!

COME ON!!! Stop this kid gloves drivel!

[SKKY]

19. I'm with you on this one. We need to fight fire with fire...

...and stop bringing knives to gunfights. I love Michelle Obama, but this, "When they go low, we go high," nonsense isn't working. And if we're being honest, it never really did work.

[AZLD4Candidate]

20. When she said that I screamed at my laptop (was overseas) "We just lost."

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

7. she-Faubus has spoken

[peppertree]

23. They've gone from Orval Faubus - to Awful Faubus

And Orval, at least, made do with a normal lectern.

[Roy Rolling]

9. This should keep her humble

[peppertree]

24. If only the Hickabees cared HALF as much about toilets, as they do about lecterns

Then they wouldn't have so many of their fellow Arkansans (in rural areas) going without one.

[Dulcinea]

10. "Beauty is only skin deep...

...but ugly goes all the way to the bone." --Attributed to Dorothy Parker

That is all.

[Seinan Sensei]

12. Jesus didn't have children

Don't know if he had cats

[Playingmantis]

13. I heard this podcast

Its well worth hearing but right wing media are trashing it.. as they always do when confronted with the TRUTH

[3825-87867]

14. Sarah is 42...

shouldn't she be having more children to become more "humble?" She's got at least10 more "good child-bearing years" to produce more offspring. Why isn't she doing it? And if not, I presume she's either not having sex or is using some form of contraception. Isn't that against right wing beliefs?
Maybe she isn't humble enough?

[RussBLib]

15. that is an excellent response

....Kamala is still hitting the right notes. More and more Republicans are coming out to support her. Hmmm.....how many prominent Democrats have announced they will support Trump?

"we each have our family by blood and then we have our family by love. And I have both. And I consider it to be a real blessing. And I have two beautiful children: Cole and Ella, who call me 'Momala.'"

18. Cool response but I don't find it mean spirited

I find it dated. One thing I find annoying is how some of the “sympathy” in the media perpetuates the stereotype that childfree, single women like me are hurt by what a yahoo like Vance thinks.

I don’t mean VP Harris obviously, but I feel impatient when I see some of the crocodile tears in the media over our tragic childless catlady status .

I think Vance is funny 😸. In general most women who remain childfree by choice have no regrets, are fine with it and rarely think of it.

Equally stupid is the notion that you win some sort of evolutionary battle by having kids (the Musk nonsense).

Musk, Vance etc are ridiculous not hurtful. I would save my tears for the women in their lives. Until I heard she was coaching Vance for the debate I actually felt sorry for Usha Vance. Now I assume she is on board with this foul trainwreck she is on..

Anyway the planet is overpopulated (no I don’t mean in the right wing dog whistle sense NumbersUSA uses it, but it is liberal common sense sans religious dogmas). It is behind our myriad ecological crises including rising emissions. The bellyaching in the media over falling birth rates is misguided at best and creepy/regressive at worst.
