SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly took aim at Kamala Harris during her recent show, criticizing Harris for her comments in an interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle.
The focus of Kelly’s critique was Harris’ repeated references to her “middle-class” upbringing while discussing her economic plan for the upcoming election.
During the interview with Ruhle, Harris emphasized how her mother “raised” her and her sister in a “middle-class” household.

Kelly expressed frustration with the vice president’s remarks, urging her to stop focusing on her personal family history and address the economic struggles that Americans are currently facing.
“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.
Kelly further criticized Harris for failing to provide concrete solutions to pressing economic issues. “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,’” Kelly noted, questioning the substance behind Harris’ remarks.
Harris briefly mentioned affordable housing during the interview, suggesting a $25,000 tax break for first-time home buyers as part of her economic plan.
Kelly was quick to point out that this measure seemed limited in scope, saying, “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.”

However, Kelly’s critique focused on the perceived lack of detailed solutions for those currently suffering under economic strain.
In a similar interview with Philadelphia’s 6ABC Action News earlier in September, Harris again mentioned her middle-class background while attempting to address concerns about making life more affordable for Americans.

Kelly’s sharp critique of Harris comes at a time when the economy is a top concern for voters ahead of the 2024 election.
Many Americans are grappling with rising costs, inflation, and housing challenges, and Kelly argued that Harris’ rhetoric fails to resonate with those directly impacted.
With the election season heating up, Harris will likely continue to face scrutiny over her economic policies and how effectively she communicates them to voters.

The entire commercial was highly edited and rehearsed and STILL that is the best they could make her look!?
Imagine if the ‘interview’ had been LIVE!!
Clown World.
We are not a serous country anyomre.
This tree stump was selected, NO ONE VOTED FOR HER.
The fact she has any support at all is an indictment on how stupid the Groomer Party faithful truly are. Embarrassing.
Judging by what I have watched and read her mother really raised her to be a prostitute,
Her mother succeeded.
And Where was her Marxist Father??? Was he there to support her and the rest of HIS family
Exactly! You hit the nail on the head. The reason she brings up her mother over and over is to distance herself from her Marxist father. And it’s working.
No Kamala sucks the seed not Mom.
Yeah and Willie Brown called her MAMALA😆
Dumb as Dirt. In a sane country this dumb person would be laughed out of the public.
She was awarded the nomination without campaigning and her sugar daddy in California Mayor Willie Brown handed her career to her. She has the nerve to say that Trump was handed a silver spoon.
Megyn Kelly in addition to revealing the truth about the riff raff, because it’s too late in this election cycle to take Chris Murphy’s job, consider RUNNING in the next significant CT election (2026 gubernatorial) or give significant help to a favored local politician who is currently mayor and very electable. Either way focus your talent. Help CT get out of this dem mess.
A one time tax credit to buy a home is not going to help those who already own a home, or have no desire to own a home. Also, after the tax credit year, the credit receiver could still have trouble affording to continue to live there in an inflationary economy.
Fixing the economy as a whole will help everyone.
Can I get a show of hands from those that want to see Kamala’s “tough on crime prosecutor” record.
How many cases did she act as the lead prosecutor and won?
Were any of her cases as DA over turned? Does she have a history of seeking plea deals? What are the details of her fight against drug cartels and human smugglers?
Look, I grew up in Scranton…er… I mean Oakland.
If Kamala was a football coach giving players the detailed strategy for the game:
“Let’s do things that help us win. And most of all, do not do things that make us lose, like your last coach. Forget about the past (but never forget how bad your last coach was who took you to the championship) and only look forward to the future, because forward is where the future is. I dream of a game in which everyone has equity and therefore we will all be winners no matter what the score is. That’s all I’ve got.”
You tube… search for the final scene sequence in the movie “The Jerk” and watch as Steve Martin lays down the Kamala Harris I was raised a middle class child story! He begins “I was born a poor black child!”
It turns out she grew up very privileged. He father’s family in Jamaica were slave owners, and she traveled there regularly. Every home they’ve had was in an upscale neighborhood in the most exclusive parts of the cities she lived in. Her mother may have “worked hard” and “saved for years for a down payment on their home,” and she may have been born in an Oakland hospital, but it comes out that she grew up in Berkeley, went to private schools growing up, and she and her sister went to one the most exclusive and expensive universities in the world–UC Berkeley. Her mother worked there as well, as a teacher. Not quite the “middle-class” upbringing she tries to paint for us. She’s lying about that just as she lies about everything else, to get votes. As for she and Tim Walz “both owning guns,” that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t confiscate everyone else’s guns once they get into office, since the only ones who will own guns under their gun-ban, red-flag administration will be criminals and the elite in control of the country.
Middle class my arse! She grew up privileged! She went to the best schools, lived in upper class areas, got handed all her jobs in California by Willie brown. She is so lame! The obama’s said the same thing, yet they went to the best schools as well. Moochelle loves to tout how middle class she was, but she grew up privileged as well. I have a clue for all of them, there is NO middle class any more! Only the poorer and the rich! The demonrats destroyed the middle class, Obama touted helping the middle class, but he didn’t! He only helped himself to our money!
