Vice President Kamala Harris admitted she’s picked up a bad habit since taking office in 2021 — she’s been cursing more than she ever has before.

During a wide-ranging interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the reporter asked Harris what is something that she’s done differently since being sworn in as President Joe Biden’s second-in-command — and she mentioned when the VP recently dropped an F-bomb during a live-streamed White House event.

“I had to! I had to!” Harris told the reporter, after telling the WH group sometimes “you need to kick that f***ing door down,” when it comes to opportunities. 

“What have I done differently since I’ve been in this office? I curse more! “ she added while laughing. “Although, kind of. I don’t know. It’s not a new language to me, and I think when one speaks the language, one should get the pronunciation down. My pronunciation is very good, thank you very much!”

.@KamalaHarris talks to Rolling Stone about her inclination to protect people—even getting into a fight at a young age to stop a bully.

“I hate bullies. I can’t abide by people who use their power in a way that is intended to diminish other people.”

“So approaching my work — always challenging traditions, not accepting status quo, knowing what’s possible, even if it hasn’t been done before — I also know how difficult it can be to propose, and require, new approaches,” the VP continued. “When people hear “status quo,” they think, “Oh, static.” But let me tell you — and it’s a learned experience for me — status quo is anything but static. Status quo is quite dynamic. You start trying to change status quo, you fuck with status quo, it will fight you.”

During the same RS interview, Harris was asked about an abortion case in front of the Supreme Court and the reporter quoted Harris as saying, at the time, “’It’s f***ed up.”

In May, Harris let an F-bomb slip during the WH event and immediately asked the audience to “excuse” her language.

Harris made the comment during a conversation with comedian Jimmy O. Yang (“Crazy Rich Asians”) — during the annual Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies Legislative Leadership Summit — about how minorities needed to stand up for themselves.

During the event – which is a part of the White House’s efforts to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month — Yang began with a question about Harris’ experience as the first woman to be elected to the vice presidency.

“We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open,” the vice president said, noting that some opportunities were easier to come by than others — and suggesting that sometimes it was necessary for people to make their own opportunities.

“Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that f***ing door down,” she said, adding, “Excuse my language.”

The Department of Homeland Security is facing a lawsuit after Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refused to explain why a former spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) was still employed by the department months after The Daily Wire exposed her support for terrorism and extreme anti-Semitism.

Nejwa Ali was hired by the U.S. government to “perform credible fear interviews by reviewing evidence, credibility, and determine admissibility” of asylum-seekers. While working for DHS, her social media consisted largely of a jihad against Jews, posting memes celebrating Hamas terrorists paragliding into a dance festival with guns, writing “F*** Israel, the government, and its military. Are you ready for your downfall?” and sharing videos with captions like “F*** Israel and any Jew that supports Israel,” The Daily Wire revealed October 18.

DHS said it put her on leave after that story, but six months later, she was still being paid, gloating online about her unpaid leave and seeming to suggest that Mayorkas was protecting her. On social media, when somebody commented on her page, “When you do everything you can to get fired but the boss says NO,” she responded, “hilarious, seriously.

The department violated the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to provide documents about Ali in response to a November request, according to a new lawsuit filed by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) against DHS.

The FOIA sought “records related to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Adjudication Officer Nejwa Ali and a potential conflict of interest in administering her duties,” exploring whether she ushered in dangerous Palestinians or denied entry to Israelis.

The request also sought to determine what kind of vetting DHS did when hiring her. DHS says that asylum seekers are thoroughly vetted, but it seemingly either did not even vet the person hired to do the vetting, or it knew she worked for a terrorist group and hired her anyway. Ali was working for the PLO until the United States designated it a terrorism group, and it was banished from Washington.

The lawsuit, filed in DC federal court on May 31, said that DHS acknowledged receipt of the FOIA, but had not responded to it in any way more than 200 days later. It also requests internal emails about DHS’ effort to control the narrative about Ali.

It asks a judge to “Order Defendant to produce, within ten days of the Court’s order, or by other such date as the Court deems appropriate, any and all non-exempt records responsive to CASA’s FOIA request and an index justifying the withholding of all or part of any responsive records withheld under claim of exemption” and “Award CASA the costs of this proceeding.”

James Fitzpatrick, CASA’s director, told The Daily Wire that “CASA submitted this FOIA request immediately upon learning of Nejwa Ali’s work for the Palestinian delegation to the U.S., UNWRA,  and the virulent, disgusting, anti-Semitic content on her social media pages.”
