Charlamagne, Stephen A. Smith SLAM Kamala Harris Over “Broken System” Claim
BREAKING: Talk show hosts Charlamagne tha God and Stephen A. Smith have criticized Former Vice President Kamala Harris for calling the American political system “broken” during a recent interview. The comments came during her appearance on The Late Show on July 31, 2025, where she expressed her decision not to run for the governorship of California and described her intention to step back from the political arena.
Harris’s remarks sparked immediate backlash, as both Charlamagne and Smith highlighted the irony of her statement given her extensive career within the very system she now critiques. “Her whole career has been the system,” Smith stated emphatically, questioning how she could now distance herself from it.
The former Vice President’s statements come at a critical time, with many pundits suggesting that her political future is uncertain following her defeat to President Donald Trump in the last election. Critics have noted her lack of clear policy proposals as she navigates her role in the Democratic Party six months after the election.
Charlamagne, a long-time supporter of Harris, echoed Smith’s sentiments, saying, “I think she should do whatever it is that she wants to do, but when I heard her say that, it made no sense!” He added that her chances for a successful presidential run in 2028 are slim, given her previous missteps.
During the conversation, Smith also pointed out Harris’s strategic errors, including her inability to separate herself from Biden, stating, “You’ve been part of it. And now you’re saying it’s broken? That means you couldn’t do but so much to fix it when you was in it.”
Charlamagne went even further, stating, “The system was broken long before Donald Trump got into office,” raising questions about the effectiveness of politicians who’ve benefited from it.
As the debate around Harris’s comments intensifies, observers are watching closely to see how her public image and political aspirations might shift in response to this growing criticism. What will this mean for her future in politics?
