WASHINGTON, DC: Vice President Kamala Harris is facing criticism for her recent appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast amid growing disapproval over insufficient federal aid for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

This controversy arises while communities in the impacted regions struggle with the substantial difficulties of recovering from the hurricane's destruction.

Harris appeared on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, hosted by Alex Cooper, to engage in a conversation about reproductive rights.

She recorded the podcast, popular among young female listeners, on Tuesday, October 1. The episode is scheduled to be released next week, although the exact day has not been specified by the campaign.

Internet slams Kamala Harris for her appearance in 'Call me Daddy' podcast

An X user criticized Harris for participating in a podcast while North Carolina was dealing with the aftermath of a hurricane.

The user wrote, "While the death toll in North Carolina continues to rise, residents see their family members hanging in trees, and aid is actively being blocked by FEMA, Kamala Harris decided to film an episode of “Call Her Daddy”"



 

One commented, "Kamala Harris is SHOWING US she doesn’t care. She’s just here for the perks."



 

Another called Harris appearance on podcast as, "That’s disgraceful. And a testament to where our “culture” as a country has fallen."



 

The third commentator slammed, "She is so cut off from reality"



 

"Kamala showed how much she hates American citizens," a critic remarked.



 

A person stated, "Oh my gosh. She is disturbingly cold"



 

One of the Donald Trump's supporter penned, "Kamala and Joe care more about illegals than American citizens. They've proven this well before the Hurricane Helene fiasco! Vote #Trump2024"



 

Other chimed in, "She's an absolute disgrace. Is this a woman? We won't representing us to other countries?!"
