Candace Owens on Kamala Harris's Staged Space Week Video with Child Actors
Candace Owens joins Tucker Carlson to discuss a controversial video Vice President Kamala Harris filmed for World Space Week. The segment revealed that one of the children featured in the video wasn't a regular student but a child actor named Trevor who auditioned for the role. Owens and Carlson critique Harris's delivery as overly scripted and condescending, questioning the authenticity of the administration's public appearances and Harris's apparent enthusiasm for her role as Vice President.
A video featuring Vice President Kamala Harris for World Space Week has sparked significant controversy after revelations that it included child actors. In the clip, Harris enthusiastically discusses space exploration, telling the children: "I just love the idea of exploring the unknown. And then there are other things that we just haven't figured out or discovered yet. To think about so much that's out there that we still have to learn. I love that."
She continues with visible excitement: "You guys are going to see, you guys are going to literally see the craters on the moon with your own eyes. With your own eyes! I'm telling you! It is going to be unbelievable."
The video quickly drew criticism for appearing overly rehearsed and inauthentic. The situation intensified when it was revealed that one of the children featured was not a regular student but a child actor named Trevor who had auditioned for the role through his agent.
Candace Owens Weighs In
Conservative commentator Candace Owens appeared on Tucker Carlson's show to discuss the controversial video. She questioned whether Harris had ever spent genuine time around children, noting the vice president's unusual delivery.
"The thing that's bizarre, it's like you question yourself, has she ever even been around children," Owens said. "This is someone who was a child actor who reached out to his agent and asked to get this part. He was called back weeks later and said you got the part to star alongside the Vice President of the United States and try to normalize and humanize her, which unfortunately for him he failed at because it is hard to humanize Kamala Harris."
Owens particularly criticized how Harris spoke to the 13-year-old actor: "Why is she speaking to 13-year-olds like this? She's speaking like they're five years old, using the expressions and using her hands, like you're reading The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar to a kindergarten class. It is so scripted, there is nothing authentic about her at all."
Questions About Harris's Commitment
Owens went further, questioning whether Harris actually wants to serve as Vice President. "Every time I see her, she just seems so phony, she seems like she's playing a role she genuinely doesn't want to play," Owens observed. "I think people are accurately reporting there seems to be this shadow war between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. I think that's accurate. I think she genuinely resents being the Vice President of the United States. She genuinely resents being subordinate to Biden and resents every element of her job including structured moments like the one we had to watch just tonight."
Comparisons and Broader Critique
Tucker Carlson emphasized that the level of artificiality went beyond typical political performance. "They are all phony, all politicians are phony, every single one of them, they are all weird, creepy personalities," he said. "She is so phony that her phoniness is an act of aggression aimed at her audience. She's daring you to watch her without vomiting."
Owens agreed, drawing comparisons to other political figures: "It's hard to think they could ever put forth a woman that was more unlikable than Hillary Clinton, but by golly, I find her to be more unbearable and more unlikable than Hillary Clinton somehow and it's because it's the acting behind it, it's the phony left, it's the cackling laugh."
A Broader Pattern
The discussion expanded to address what Owens and Carlson see as a pattern in the Biden administration. "We see Joe Biden appearing in front of a set, we've got Kamala Harris hiring child actors," Owens said. "I mean, what is actually going on in this administration? This really does feel like a Saturday Night Live skit. Same amount of viewers, not very many, but it's like do we have people who are actually running our country or do we have actors that are just sitting around, you know, saying what they're supposed to say, reading off a teleprompter? Why don't they just let us read the teleprompter? It would be much easier."
The segment raised questions about authenticity in political messaging and the lengths to which administrations go to craft their public image, particularly when those efforts appear to backfire.
