Kamala Harris left viewers scratching their heads after cutting tiny a discussion about constellations and arguing that Donald Trump’s criticism of Democratic-run cities was racist.
Harris met with former CNN employee Roland Martin for a live-streamed interview early Monday morning. The pair discussed Trump’s recent comments that if he doesn’t win in November, the rest of America would be as run down as Detroit.
Trump made the warning during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club.
“The whole country will be like this: Do you want to know the truth? It’ll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess,” he predicted.
Martin claimed that Trump’s criticism of run-down, crime-ridden cities was a dig at cities with large black populations, ignoring the other context that they are run overwhelmingly by Democrats. He believes any criticism of a Democratic-run city is evidence that “he’s talking about black people.”
And then Harris gave this wonderful answer:
“Yes Yes Yes. I – I – you know, there’s the whole – I was talking to someone once who said, ‘You know, if you just look at where the – the – the stars are in the sky. Don’t just look at them as random things, look at them as dots. Look at the constellation, what does it show you,” Harris replied.
It is very likely that she is misquoting the “someone” who told her this story. My goodness. No wonder “60 Minutes” felt like they had to secretly edit some of her answers during the interview.
Harris resorted to her quirky analogy and suggested that the stars and dots (Trump’s comments) indicate that he has created his own constellation. A constellation of racism.
“You just sketched it, Roland, what does it show you?” she asked. “These are the cities he chooses in terms of black population or black mayor or both. Come on.”
Kamala’s two-front war with both astronomy and the English language caused confusion among social media viewers.
“I don’t think she even wants to be president. She’s so overwhelmed and she knows it. She’s awesome,” said one Viewer wrote.
“Every interview has their interviewers thinking, ‘We should have chained them to the teleprompter,’ but because it went so badly they have to do another one,” says user Anthony Galli added. “It’s like a gambler trying to recoup his losses by screaming at a slot machine.”
Another designated The Vice President’s comments as proof that Trump was right: “Stupid people are the real threat to democracy.”

This isn’t the first time Ms. Harris has waxed poetic about space and the stars. It becomes as much an issue for her as her obsession with Venn diagrams, coconut trees and yellow school buses.
A YouTube series called “Get Curious With Vice President Harris” showed the Veep visiting a group of children as they toured the United States Naval Observatory.
The children in the video were child actors. And that ability was necessary so that they could properly pretend, as teenagers, that they had even the slightest interest in Harris talking to them like toddlers.
The video shows a distant Harris speaking to the actors in an exaggerated, effusive tone.
“You will see it, you will literally see the craters on the moon with your own eyes!” she told the children excitedly, pointing to her own eyes as if the group in front of her were kindergarten children.
To be truthful, they probably would have been better off using a child actor to play Harris.
“I just love the idea of exploring the unknown,” Harris added in the nearly 10-minute video. “I love thinking about so much out there that we still have to learn.”
It should be noted that Kamala Harris is currently the chair of the National Space Council.
In this latest interview, Harris repeated his claim that Trump is in hiding because he is “unfit and unstable.”
She made the remark during an interview with Martin, who has previously called Republican voters “evil” and declared war on the Biden-Harris administration’s political opposition.
“We are at war with these people. These people are evil. With Donald Trump they have allowed evil into their home. He has now dominated the party,” Martin preached during an appearance on MSNBC in 2022. “This evil is spreading.”
The Democratic presidential candidate has been accused of attacking cordial media and dodging challenging interviews during her campaign. The conversation with Martin is further proof of this. They share similar thoughts about former President Trump.
