WATCH: Harris' epic response to Matt Barnes about potential of becoming 'first Black woman as president'

WASHINGTON, DC: Vice President Kamala Harris had an epic answer to what she thought about being the potential "first Black woman" president of the United States.

Appearing on former NBA star Matt Barnes' 'All The Smoke' podcast taped last week, the Democratic presidential nominee stated, "I eat no for breakfast!"

In the podcast episode that premiered on Monday, September 30, Barnes asked Harris about the barriers she overcame in her ongoing journey before eliciting her thoughts on what it meant for her to be the first woman and first Black woman to enter the White House, as per Mediaite.

Harris admitted that her journey had not reached there yet but fondly remembered her mother Shyamala Gopalan's role in molding her.

Kamala Harris talks about her responsibility to mentor others as her mother did

Harris recounted her mother, who was an immigrant from India, had many sayings, and one of them was, "You may be the first to do many things. Make sure you’re not the last."

The VP noted she followed this advice and mentored many people, which, according to her, is a responsibility to ensure others follow her path.

"I feel a sense of responsibility to hopefully remind them that you should never hear 'No.' You should never hear 'Nobody like you has done this before' or it's not your time' or 'they’re not ready,'" Harris stated.

"Like, don't hear that. Don't hear that. I eat 'no' for breakfast! That's my saying. I eat 'no' for breakfast!" she added.

Kamala Harris responds to people questioning her Black identity

Harris' biracial identity, from her Indian immigrant mother and Jamaican-American father, was a hot topic among former President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies.

Shortly after she took over the 2024 campaign from President Joe Biden, Trump attacked his new rival, saying the VP had embraced her Black identity recently.

Barnes managed to draw out a detailed response from Harris on what she thought of those who questioned her blackness.The NBA player first narrated his own experience living in the US as a child of an Italian mother and a Black father. He recalled how the KKK vandalized his high school when he tried to protect his sister from name-calling at the age of 17.

The former NBA champion  noted that Harris always looked secure in her identity and asked what she felt when people questioned her race.

"I don't listen to it," the VP responded with a laugh, according to Mediaite.

"I'm really clear about who I am. And if anybody else is not, they need to go through their level of therapy. That's not my issue," she continued, recounting her mother's role in helping her and her sister become "two proud Black women."

Internet slams Harris over her response 

Harris' answer to what she felt about being the likely first Black female president of the US received a negative response online. A majority of netizens deemed her response "cringe" and slammed her.

"Uggg just when you think she can't get any more cringe, she says something like this," a user said.

"What a LOSER she is," another added.

"It's like she trying to out cringe herself," said a third user.

"She is all about herself and her nothingness. Useless," read a fourth response.

"Very cringe.. she doesn't actually have a core identity for public display, this is wild. She tries to just fit what she thinks people will be looking for, but to like the next level," someone else wrote.

"Such an embarrassment," an individual chimed in.

"Does she think this podcast makes her cool and edgy? She’s just awful and cringy. I hope this turns off a lot of her current blind 'supporters,'" another user wrote.

"Maybe that explains why she spews a whole lot of nothing," read one remark.
