Kamala Harris Slams Trump During Interview With Fat Joe & Too Short at 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards: ‘He’s Weak’

On Tuesday night (Oct. 15), Fat Joe and Too Short sat down with Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards to discuss a bevy of pressing issues ahead of this year’s upcoming election.

“There’s a lot of misinformation out there that would suggest to people that their vote doesn’t matter,” said Harris when asked about why voting matters more than ever. “As far as I’m concerned, you should never let anybody silence you because when you vote, you actually have the ability to determine the future of our country.”

Harris also expressed her concerns about spreading misinformation and its detrimental effect on this year’s election. “When you tell people that they can’t trust the system, what are they likely to do? Not participate,” she said. “That’s why I always say don’t ever let anybody take you out of the game. That’s the first step toward never being able to make a difference.”

She didn’t mince words and spoke on the consequences that would follow a potential Trump win, and how Project 2025 would decimate middle-class citizens.

“They came up with a plan for Donald Trump if he wins again,” she said. “So, I encourage everybody to Google it. It’s an 800-, 900-page document. They published it [and] gave it out. It would do things like eliminate overtime pay. It would get rid of the Department of Education, including Head Start. It would do the work of trying to destroy our democracy and really work against middle-class folks. So this is a man who’ll posture like, ‘Hey, support me because I’m tough and strong,’ but he’s weak.”
