Journalist Katie Couric pushed back against radio host Charlamagne Tha God’s description of Vice President Kamala Harris as “authentic” during a Thursday podcast.
Charlamagne, on “Next Question with Katie Couric,” argued Harris’ response to him during their recent town hall when he raised criticism about her sounding “scripted,” which made him view her as genuine. Couric disagreed, saying Harris seems hesitant to say anything that might provoke a backlash and tends to avoid clearly explaining “her true policy position.
”I think she said something in the beginning of our conversation when I brought up the fact that people say she’s very scripted, you know, people say she sticks to her talking points. She said, ‘You’re welcome,’ you know? ‘I call that discipline.’ And it made me think about something,” Charlamagne told Couric in response to her question about his perception of Harris’ authenticity during their town hall. “I think that we’ve seen such a lack of discipline since [former President] Donald Trump came on the scene that we forgot what that looks like.”
