Vice President Kamala Harris posted a video on Tuesday showing the phone call in which she invited Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) to be her running mate — and critics had a field day with just how “fake” and “scripted” the whole scenario appeared to be.
“When I called @Tim_Walz this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we’ve done together. We’re going to unify this country and we’re going to win. Let’s go get this done,” Harris captioned her post.
“Listen, I want you to do this with me. Let’s do this together,” Harris told Walz during the brief call — throughout which both lauded each other’s accomplishments. But if the response on X was any indication, the American people saw the video as anything but authentic.
“So fake. So phony,” Steve Guest posted.
“This is so organic, wow. You’d never know this was their 8th try,” Kate Hyde added.
“Truly amazing how everyone Kamala Harris speaks with on the phone has a camera crew just … waiting. So impromptu. So authentic. So real,” Ian Haworth posted.
“‘I’m authentic!'” Stephen Miller said.
“Why does it look like Kamala Harris is reading from her iPhone while talking to Tim Walz????” Steve Guest added.
“Why do they do these phone calls like it’s ‘impromptu’ but there’s a multi camera set up and lighting and an obvious script for each of them?? It’s just so cringey,” Jennifer Sey posted.
