Fox guest makes shocking sexual insult about Kamala Harris live on radio
A Fox Business guest shocked the network’s audience when he called Vice President Kamala Harris the “original Hawk Tuah” girl.
Podcaster Alec Lace made the comments during a July 21 appearance discussing President Joe Biden’s less-than-stellar debate performance against Donald Trump and reflecting on the future of the Democratic Party.
“Kamala Harris is the original Hawk Tuah girl. That’s how she got to where she is now, and if it were up to her, the party would go downhill,” Lace said.
The provocative right-wing woman compared the Democrat to the 22-year-old who rose to fame when she described spitting as part of a sex act during a street interview.
Lace’s inflammatory comment prompted Fox host Dagen McDowell to respond, “That was harsh.”
Lace then went on to speak to X about his words about the VP, writing, “Did I go too far with my statement on FOX News that Kamala Harris is the original Hawk Tuah girl or am I wrong?”
Lace made the comments before Biden announced he would not seek re-election, making Harris his most obvious successor.

The podcaster’s comments, while outrageous, offer a glimpse into how Harris has dealt with allegations of inappropriate relationships while she was a rising political star in San Francisco.
As Harris launches her own presidential campaign, Republican presidential candidate Trump has already attacked her over her romance with former San Francisco mayor and notorious playboy Willie Brown, 90, who is 31 years older than Harris and dated her in the 1990s.
In his July 4 message, Trump wrote: “With respect to our potential new Democratic challenger, Laffin” Kamala Harris.
“She did poorly in the Democratic nomination process, starting at number two and ending up defeated and out of the running before she even got to Iowa, but that doesn’t mean she’s not a ‘very talented’ politician. Just ask her mentor, the great Willie Brown of San Francisco.”

The provocative right-wing politician compared the Democrat to the 22-year-old who achieved viral fame after describing spitting as part of a sex act during a street interview.
Throughout her career, the vice president has repeatedly had to deny that her relationship with Brown was the defining move in her political career.
The affair fizzled out decades ago, but since then Harris has struggled to avoid her relationship with Brown, whom she later described as “a beast of burden around my neck.”
Although their relationship is often described as an affair, Brown had been separated from his wife Blanche Vitero for more than a decade when he and Harris, 59, began dating in the mid-1990s.
Their steamy past resurfaced in January 2019, when Brown published an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle headlined, “Sure, I Dated Kamala Harris. So What?”
When they met around 1993, Brown, a noted attorney and civil rights leader, was the speaker of the California House of Representatives and was considered one of the state’s most influential legislators.
He had turned 60, while Harris was 29.
Harris, meanwhile, was seen as a diligent and capable prosecutor who was “on her way to the top” at the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, where she had worked for the previous three years.

In addition to Brown gifting his young flame a BMW, the relationship yielded even more tangible benefits when Brown gave Harris two influential positions.
“Assembly Speaker Willie Brown continues to seek favors as long as he maintains his influential position. He has made well-paid appointments to his former attorney and a former Alameda County prosecutor who is Brown’s loyal companion,” the Los Angeles Times reported in 1994.
Brown, wielding his power as his presidency seemed near its end, appointed attorney Kamala Harris to the California Medical Assistance Commission, a job that pays him $72,000 a year.
“Harris, a former deputy district attorney in Alameda County, was described by several people at the Capitol as Brown’s girlfriend.”
Brown also appointed Harris to the state’s Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, a lucrative position that paid him another $97,088 a year, the same article said.
Despite Brown’s dumping, Harris continued to count on his support when she ran for public office. In 2004, she was elected San Francisco’s first black district attorney.
By now, Brown was the subject of an FBI corruption investigation after he allegedly gave out lucrative city contracts and appointments to friends and political allies.

His support led to accusations of cronyism, which Harris, who was in a relationship with talk show host Montel Williams at the time, promptly denied.
In a 2003 interview during her campaign for San Francisco attorney general, Harris told SF Weekly that she refused to “frame my campaign around criticizing Willie Brown to appear independent, when I have no doubt that I am independent of him — and that he would probably express some fear now about not being able to control me.”
“His career is over. I’ll be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I don’t owe him anything.”
Harris was elected California attorney general in 2010. When she ran for Senate in 2016, Brown urged her likely opponent, Antonio Villaraigosa, to stand aside.
Brown and his legal wife Vitero never divorced, despite Brown having a child with his main fundraiser Carolyn Carpenti in 2001.
Harris has been married to entertainment attorney Doug Emhoff since 2014.
