Harris-Obama endorsement phone call video slammed as ‘staged’
Vice President Kamala Harris received the endorsement of Barack and Michelle Obama on Friday.
Her campaign posted a video showing Harris holding an iPhone to her ear, although the phone’s display indicated she was on speakerphone with the former first couple.
Border Czar Kamala Harris just released the fakest and cringiest endorsement video from Barack Obama.
It’s completely unnatural and clearly staged. Just like the coup that ousted Joe Biden.

Harris appeared surprised in the video, which was shot using multiple camera angles, suggesting elaborate preparation.
This call of Obama and Michael endorsing Kamala is so staged and cringe worthy 🥴 pic.twitter.com/s2FxFaN4GD

People on X, formerly Twitter, pointed out evidence that the video was staged, noting Harris was wearing a mic, suggesting it was scripted.

Investigative journalist Laura Loomer agreed, calling the video "scripted" and "forced."
So staged.
Everything with the Democrat Party is so scripted and forced.
Even Joe Biden’s own existence. Think about it. The Democrat Party won’t even let a dying man rest and spend his last moments with his family.
That’s how sick these people are. https://t.co/p6YpDhSezN— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) July 26, 2024
This endorsement completes the support of key party figures for Harris, who former President Donald Trump has previously labelled as “phony.” President Biden ended his re-election campaign on Sunday and endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee for the 5 November election.
