Former Democratic National Committee fundraiser Lindy Li told podcaster Shawn Ryan Thursday that she didn’t understand why former Vice President Kamala Harris was prone to “endless word salads” in interviews.
Podcaster Joe Rogan called out the Harris campaign Tuesday, accusing it of lying about Harris’ failure to appear on his show during the 2024 presidential campaign. After Ryan described his failed efforts to land Harris for an interview, Li erupted.

“I don’t understand why it’s so hard for her to answer simple questions! I don’t understand why she has to do these endless word salads! Like, why is it so hard for you to be human? Just answer the question! You don’t have to talk in endless circles!” Lee said. “I just don’t get it, and I know her!”

“Like, when I talk to her she’s fine, but when she does these interviews she becomes like an android, you know what I mean?” Li added. “It’s like, like, Sean, you’re talking to me like a real full-blooded person. Why can’t she just be that? You know, we, we don’t want… a caricature as president. We want a human being that we can relate to.”
Harris and her running mate, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, largely avoided interviews and press conferences after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection July 21 before they started doing a media blitz in October. Harris also declined an invitation to attend the Al Smith Dinner in person, instead doing a video with former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Molly Shannon that was played at the charity event.
“There are several explanations,” Li said after Ryan asked why she thought Harris struggled during interviews. “Some people say that she’s just not that intelligent. It could be maybe she can’t think on her feet. Maybe she relies on talking points, but I have friends on her staff who tell me that she would get pissed at them for her own lack of preparation,” Li said. “She would yell, and she would get frustrated at them for her own inability to read the talking points and to internalize them.”
Ryan then aired an excerpt from an October “60 Minutes” interview Harris did, when she was questioned about the border by correspondent Bill Whitaker. CBS reportedly edited one of Harris’ responses to a question on the conflict between Israel and the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas.

“Definitely didn’t seem quick on her feet, but I would still love to interview her and I’m glad Joe was able to set the record straight,” Ryan said.
“Yeah, and I’m here,” Li said.
“I will give you as many names as you need in order to make the interview happen, because I know her staff, and she will see the request. It’s just a matter of her willingness, you know, because she’s so afraid to fuck up.”
