‘PUTTING A TARGET ON MY BACK’: Tim Pool Explains Why He’s Suing the Kamala Harris Campaign for Defamation

Podcaster Tim Pool filed a defamation lawsuit against Vice President Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign Thursday.

Kamala Harris’s Lucky Break

Updated at 9:30 a.m. ET on August 2, 2024 Until two weeks ago, to observe Vice President Kamala Harris was to be entertained and a little bewildered. “I love Venn diagrams!” she once told an interviewer, giggling. “It’s just somethin’ about those three circles!” She likes yellow school buses too, and her mother’s old saying about the coconut tree.

By the Way, Kamala Harris Is a Dangerous Authoritarian

With some hard work, pluck, the right boyfriend, and a bit of genetic luck, Vice President Kamala Harris has found her way onto the presidential ballot without having to secure a single primary vote. Don’t tell me the American dream is dead. Sure, Harris is a demagogue who speaks in cringy, swirling, impenetrable platitudes. And sure, according to President Joe Biden, Harris was an identity hire.
