Kamala Sets New Recоɾd fоɾ Dιslιkes оn Clυb Shay Shay Pоdcast wιth Shannоn Shaɾρe
In a surprising turn of events, Vice President Kamala Harris has made headlines for an entirely different kind of milestone. During her recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s popular YouTube podcast, “Club Shay Shay,” the episode amassed an unprecedented 115,000 dislikes, far outnumbering the 40,000 likes it received. Even more unexpected, data shows that a vast majority of viewers paused the video at the very beginning, at timestamp 0:00, seemingly for one primary reason: to dive straight into the comment section.
The interview was promoted as an inspiring conversation, featuring historic moments, personal reflections, and Harris’s vision for America’s future. It covered her journey as the first female, Black, and Asian American Vice President of the United States and her dedication to tackling key issues like workers’ rights, economic disparities, and healthcare. Harris also shared memorable anecdotes, such as receiving a special birthday serenade from Stevie Wonder, highlighting lighter moments from her public life.
Despite the uplifting topics and her emphasis on unity and policy reform, the video received overwhelmingly negative feedback. The comment section became a focal point, with many users expressing their disdain for Harris’s candidacy and her policies. Reactions ranged from skepticism over her choice of appearing on a lighter-hearted podcast like “Club Shay Shay” instead of more established platforms like Joe Rogan’s, to criticism of her perceived failures as Vice President. Comments like “Kamala’s honeymoon phase ended real quick” and “Ratio’d into oblivion” reflect a sentiment of growing dissatisfaction among viewers.
It seems that the real MVP of this episode was Shannon Sharpe’s team, for not turning off the comments, as one user humorously pointed out: “The real MVP is Shannon’s team for not turning off the comments 😂😂.” Another commenter captured the essence of the viewership experience perfectly: “I think more people showed up for the comment section than the actual interview 🍿😄.”
The comments section became a virtual gathering, filled with humor, sarcasm, and even a sense of unity. “I have felt more unity in this comment section than I have the last 4 years,” one user joked, while another added, “This comment section has restored my faith in this country 🙏.” It’s apparent that for many, the draw wasn’t the interview itself but the entertainment found in the collective critique of Harris. One user hilariously remarked, “I paused the video at 0:00 just so I can jump into the comments section… I have never felt so alive before, all y’all are legends 💪.”
In addition, some commenters questioned the authenticity of the visible engagement metrics, with users joking about the participation of “illegal immigrants” and mocking the absence of an official dislike button on YouTube. Observers also noted the stark contrast in viewership and like ratios compared to Donald Trump’s recent podcast appearance on Joe Rogan, highlighting a significant gap in audience support. As one commenter dryly noted, “Kamala/Shay – 733k views / 34k likes. To be fair, I’ll update in 2 days… Trump/Rogan – 35m views / 1.8m likes. Not even close.”
The backlash also brought up past controversies, with references to Harris’s history as a prosecutor and her approach to key issues during her time as Attorney General of California. The episode, which was intended to showcase Harris’s resilience and commitment to marginalized communities, appears to have instead further fueled existing criticisms. “Shannon, congratulations for breaking a record for the most *non watched* straight-to-the-comments video in Club Shay Shay’s history 😂😂,” one user quipped, summing up the sentiment.
The sheer volume of dislikes and negative commentary reveals a deeper sentiment within a portion of the electorate—a group that remains skeptical of Harris’s leadership and disconnected from the vision she aims to project. The immediate reaction to the video suggests that many viewers came with their minds already made up, ready to engage not with the content of the interview but with the community of discontent forming in the comment section. As one user humorously put it, “600,000 people came to look at the comment section & I’m one of them.”
While the interview was intended to resonate with voters ahead of Election Day, it seems that for many, the appearance only solidified their existing opinions. “Kamala – ‘I want to unify the country.’ Well, you certainly unified these comments 😂,” another user sarcastically noted. The response to this podcast serves as a stark reminder of the challenges Harris faces in winning over a skeptical public. The overwhelming number of dislikes stands as a testament to the polarized atmosphere in American politics today, and the difficulty of changing perceptions once they are firmly entrenched.
