I'm not an American and neither do I live in America ,consequently this the first I've heard of this lady ,well my question what's with this "Mother Jones" moniker ? like y'know she's not that old, Mother ??
Her nonverbal responses and mannerisms suggests she is not being truthful in her responses. The narrative is strong with this one….
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.â€
â€â€Psalm‬ â€9‬:â€17‬ â€KJV‬‬
America is full of abominations.
This woman is crazy. She lied about having met the serial killer Andrew Cunanan (who killed Versace) for publicity and didn't even bother to get the basic facts straight.
PBS, what are going to do with this interview when the truth comes out that Kamala Harris is Indian-Irish.
Are we just love Kamala we will support her even though she is just another politician using color as a basis to run but I know, will not win she's as much black as she is whatever else she is
I didn't realize the Coneheads were real
Remember…Trump never wanted this, but got it anyway. That’s what has Johns panties in a twist.
Remember…Trump defrauded DeutchBank and stole their money and he’s lible for theft!
John is the kind of guy who is jealous of Trump because Trump was the bombastic 16 year old who got elected class president and got the women…and still is. And John still can’t.
MAKE AMERICA GAYER THAN EVER AGAIN
SEX CHANGES FOR KIDS
SEX CHANGES FOR IMMIGRANTS
TAMPON FOR BOYS
WE DO NEED A STRONG ECONOMY, BORDER SECURITY IS NOT IMPORTANT
VOTE HARRIS AND WALTZ 2024
YAH AND SHE IS SELECTED TO A G AND I INFORM HER OFFICE ABOUT A NON PROFIT RADIO NETWORK WERE STEALING MEMBERS $ (MIS USING ) A FOR THREE YEARS DID NOTHING TO HELP THE PUBLIC THERE , AND MAYOR NUSUM AND LOOK AT SAN FRAN NOW!!!!
It’s kind of cool how she gets to evade any accountability for literally being a massive finger in the wind and a flip flopper. As a constituent of hers in California, I view her as an affront to the state and a traitor for our values.
Ok so we know this woman is a great friend of Kamala's…and gives us a one perspective view of her. Hopefully, you'll interview Willie Brown and other San Fran pols to round out your portrait of Ms. Kamala.

Notice how racists and radicalized Republicans feel the need to air out their hate for people's appearance and identity to not talk about how much nonwhite journalists reporting on nonwhite politicians bothers them.

Why do my tax dollars pay for this propaganda?
FKH and this trash program
Disgusting
What is this? Free promotion for Harris? Where is the independent journalism?
Didn't realize she was black?
Frontline has become pathetic. Obviously biased & in the tank for the Democrat party.
Change is GREAT, I know it makes people uncomfortable
Thank you ðŸ™
Kamala should be in jail for the parents she put in jail because there sick kids missed school.
So she's relentless in furthering her own career, but is so afraid of criticism that she shies away from any bold actions. Not the qualities of a leader. Still voting for her bc Trump's an even bigger disaster, but it's pathetic that this is the best Democrats can do.
Biden should have dropped out before the primary, now we're stuck with her for 8 years.
TRUMP 2024
Water it please!!!
Let's talk about the mother Kamala prosecuted. Because her daughter missed days of school because of her illness. Her absences were excused by the school. But yet this Mom was jailed. It took two years to resolve the case. This lady lost her job and home because of this.
TRUMP 2024!
The choice is as clear as day and night. 💙💙Kamala Harris for president of the USA. 💙💙 Vote blue up and down the ballot. 💙💙💙
I can't believe PBS who I considered to be one of those news platforms which still has true investigative journalism using a black woman to pander to black people on behalf of Kamala Harris and the Democrats.
Seem PBS has fallen to the level of all other media houses, pushing an agenda, pushing a narrative.
Welcome to the list of TRASH Journalism.
