Kamala Harris Attributes Increased Cursing to Vice Presidency Stress

In a candid interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Vice President Kamala Harris revealed that since taking office in 2021, she has developed a habit of cursing more frequently. The admission came during a wide-ranging discussion where Harris was asked about changes in her behavior since becoming Vice President.

Key Points from the Interview:

• Cursing Admission: Harris humorously confessed, “What have I done differently since I’ve been in this office? I curse more!” She laughed, attributing the increase in her use of colorful language to the challenges of her role.

• Recent F-Bomb: Harris referred to a recent incident where she dropped an F-bomb during a live-streamed White House event. Defending her outburst, she told the Rolling Stone reporter, “I had to! I had to!” She recalled telling the audience, “sometimes you need to kick that f***ing door down” when it comes to seizing opportunities.

• Language and Tradition: Harris elaborated on her approach to work, emphasizing her determination to challenge traditions and resist the status quo. She acknowledged the dynamic nature of the status quo, stating, “You start trying to change status quo, you fuck with status quo, it will fight you.”

• Abortion Case Reaction: During the interview, Harris was also asked about her reaction to a Supreme Court abortion case, to which she reportedly responded at the time, “It’s f***ed up.”

In May, Harris caused a stir when she let an F-bomb slip during a White House event. Immediately afterward, she apologized to the audience for her language. The comment was made during a conversation with comedian Jimmy O. Yang at the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies Legislative Leadership Summit. Harris discussed the necessity for minorities to stand up for themselves, highlighting the need to create their own opportunities when they are not readily available.

“We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open,” Harris remarked. “Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that f***ing door down,” she added, quickly excusing her language.

As Harris continues to navigate the complexities of her position, her candidness and occasional use of strong language reflect the intense pressures and frustrations that come with challenging entrenched systems and traditions.
