An interview with Vice President Kamala Harris conducted on the TikTok podcast 'SubwayTakes' during her 2024 presidential campaign was never released due to its confusing and unusual content. The podcast host, Kareem Rahma, and Harris's campaign mutually agreed to withhold the interview, describing it as 'weird,' 'confusing,' and 'not good.' One notable moment involved Harris stating that 'bacon is a spice,' which contributed to the decision not to publish the footage. The interview's content included a discussion about cooking, where Harris mentioned using bacon in collard greens, a comment that raised questions about cultural sensitivity given the host's Muslim background and Harris's own diverse family heritage. The unreleased interview has drawn attention post-election, with some criticizing the decision to suppress it, while others note that the content reflected an attempt at relatable social media engagement.
It still shocks me to this day that Kamala Harris, married to a Jewish man and raised by an Indian woman, thought it was wise to pitch a bacon recipe to a Muslim YouTuber. Like that level of cultural competency and retail politics expertise for a presidential candidate. https://t.co/hEKvRjXozp
It honest to God sounds like a Kamala idea. Her rare relatable social media content was about cooking. She talked about using bacon (not ham) when she made collard greens. Every losing candidate becomes an idiot who did nothing right but come on https://t.co/cUzVATz97C https://t.co/JG1MPkt1jZ
