WASHINGTON, DC: Looks like Kamala Harris isn't shy about dropping f-bombs these days.

The former vice president tore into Robert F Kennedy Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Trump administration, blasting their handling of science and public health during her book tour.

Kamala Harris slams RFK Jr's HHS

Kamala Harris joined veteran podcaster Kara Swisher at Washington, DC’s Warner Theatre to promote her new book '107 Days', which recounts her experience during the chaotic 2024 election. However, she used the opportunity to unleash an expletive-laced critique of the HHS led by RFK Jr.



 

“When I see what these people are doing right now to end the war on cancer, to deny science and fire scientists, Kara, it’s personal for me,” Harris said, referencing her late mother’s work as a scientist “to uplift the human condition.”

“I can’t laugh at it, because, like so many of you who have known people who suffer because of unknown diseases or cancers for which there are no cures, or there is the beginning of but more work that needs to be done for the cure…” she said. “What they are doing to push misinformation and lies at the highest level of government. It’s criminal, and people will die because of what they’re doing.”

“I can’t laugh about that, I’m sorry,” Harris said. “It’s f****d up.”

Harris appeared to pat herself on the back despite losing the 2024 election to President Donald Trump. “Well, some people have actually said I was the most qualified candidate ever to run for president,” she said.

“I like the ‘some people say,’ but go ahead," Swisher gushed.

Harris smirked and replied, “I’m just speaking facts.”



 

Kamala Harris leans on profanity

Recently, Harris has been relying on profanity to make her points. Just days earlier, during an event in Los Angeles called “A Day of Unreasonable Conversation,” Harris let another bomb fly while promoting her book.

“There’s so much about this moment that is making people feel like they’ve lost their minds. When, in fact, these m***********s are crazy," she said of the current administration.



 

“One of the other reasons I wrote it is history is going to write about this. And it was important to me that that be told with my voice being present,” she said. “And I would say that everyone, we are living history right now. And you all as storytellers are living this. You’re not passive observers. You know that. You’re living it.”

Harris added, “And I’m gonna ask you that all the emotions that we are feeling, give those emotions, give that experience to those people that you are writing about and writing for. It gets back to my point about helping people just put a label on it, even if it doesn’t change the circumstance.” Moments later, she dropped the “these m***********s are crazy” line.

Of course, the Trump White House didn’t waste time firing back. “Kamala Harris should listen to an audio recording of her cackle of a laugh before calling anyone crazy,” White House spokesman Kush Desai jabbed.
