Charlamagne Tha God had a conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris on his Comedy Central program, Tha God's Honest Truth. During the conversation, Charlamagne asked Harris a few questions about West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin and the ways in which he is "holding up progress."
Charlamagne went as far as to question whether Manchin's ability to exercise power within the Senate shows that he's doing more to impose his will onto the system than President Joe Biden. This prompted Charlamagne to ask, "So who is the president? Is it Joe Manchin or Joe Biden?" That's when the conversation went left.
"Come on, Charlamagne. It's Joe Biden. No, no, no, no. It's Joe Biden. And don't start talking like a Republican, asking whether or not he's president. It's Joe Biden," said Harris. "And I'm vice president and my name is Kamala Harris. And the reality is because we are in office, we do things like the child tax credit, which is going to reduce Black child poverty by 50 percent."
"It is the work of saying we're going to get lead out of pipes and paint because our babies are suffering because of that. It is the work of saying people who ride public transit deserve the same kind of dignity that anybody else does. So, let's improve that system." She added, "I hear the frustration, but let's not deny the impact that we've had and agree also that there is a whole lot more work to be done and it is not easy to do. But we will not give up and I will not give up."
