SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly tore into Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, criticizing Harris’ response when discussing her upbringing.
Harris referenced her “middle-class” background while outlining her economic plan for the upcoming election during her interview with Ruhle on Wednesday evening. Kelly slammed Harris for repeatedly mentioning how her mother “raised” her and her sister in a “middle-class” household, urging the vice president to “stop talking” about her family and instead focus on “people who are actually suffering.”
“Then she finishes it off with — we didn’t play this — but, ‘I come from the middle-class. My mother raised my sister and me, she worked hard.’ No one gives a shit about your mother, they care about themselves. Stop talking about your mother [and] start talking about the people who are actually suffering,” Kelly said.

“So the only thing she said in the whole answer, and this was at the very end, was, ‘So my vision for the economy is let’s deal with some of the everyday challenges that people face and address them with common sense solutions.’ And then we got these four words — such as, yes, what? Affordable housing — okay?” Kelly continued. “Affordable housing, she’s going to solve that. We’re not sure how but she’s mentioned a $25,000 tax break for first time home buyers only. So if you’ve already owned a home you’re effed. If you’re struggling to pay your mortgage, but it happens to be your second home you’re effed. That’s it. And then she wants to somehow create more houses — we don’t know how.”
Harris has often discussed her mother and middle-class upbringing when addressing her solutions to the economy. In an interview with 6ABC Philadelphia’s Action News on Sept. 13, Harris rambled about her middle-class upbringing and lawns while attempting to address how she plans to make life more affordable.
