Fox guest makes shocking sex slur about Kamala Harris live on air

A Fox Business guest shocked the network's audience when he referred to vice-president Kamala Harris as the 'original Hawk Tuah' girl. 

Podcaster Alec Lace made the comments on a July 21 appearance where he discussed president Joe Biden's less-than-stellar debate performance against Donald Trump and pondered on the Democratic Party's future.

'Kamala Harris, she is the original Hawk Tuah girl - that's the way she got where she is, and the party is going downhill if it's in her hands,' Lace said.

The provocative right-winger was comparing the Democrat to Hailey Welch, who shot to viral fame after she described spitting as part of a sexual act during an on-street interview.

Lace's inflammatory comment prompted Fox host Dagen McDowell to reply with, 'That was harsh.'

Lace then took to X to address his words about the VP, writing: 'Did I go too far on FOX News calling Kamala Harris the OG Hawk Tuah girl or am I right over the target?'

Lace made the comments before Biden announced he will not be running for re-election, making Harris his most obvious successor. 

The podcaster's comments, however outrageous, offer a glimpse into how Harris will have to deal with allegations of improper relationships while she was a rising political star in San Francisco. 

As Harris embarks on her own presidential campaign, Republican presidential candidate Trump has already attacked her over her romance with former San Francisco mayor and notorious playboy, Willie Brown, 90, who is 31 years Harris's senior and dated her in the 1990s.

In his July 4th message, Trump wrote: 'Respects to our potentially new Democrat Challenger, Laffin' Kamala Harris.

'She did poorly in the Democrat Nominating process, starting out at Number Two, and ending up defeated and dropping out, even before getting to Iowa, but that doesn't mean she's not a 'highly talented' politician. Just ask her Mentor, the Great Willie Brown of San Francisco.'

Throughout her career, the vice president has been repeatedly forced to deny that her relationship with Brown was the defining step in her political career.

The fling fizzled decades ago, but in the years since, Harris has struggled to shirk her association with Brown, whom she later described as 'an albatross hanging around my neck.'

While their relationship has often been described as an affair, Brown was separated from his wife Blanche Vitero for more than a decade when he and Harris, 59, dated in the mid-1990s.

Their steamy past resurfaced in January 2019, when Brown published an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle with the headline, 'Sure, I dated Kamala Harris. So what?'

When they met around 1993, Brown, a noted lawyer and civil rights leader, was the speaker of the California assembly and regarded as one of the State's most influential legislators.

He had turned 60 while Harris was 29.

Harris, meanwhile, was regarded as a diligent and able prosecutor 'on the way up' at the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, where she had worked for the previous three years. 

As well as gifting his young squeeze a BMW car, the relationship reaped even more tangible benefits when Brown handed Harris two influential positions.

'Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, continuing his rush to hand out patronage jobs while he retains his powerful post, has given high-paying appointments to his former law associate and a former Alameda County prosecutor who is Brown's frequent companion,' the Los Angeles Times noted in 1994.

'Brown, exercising his power even as his speakership seems near an end, named attorney Kamala Harris to the California Medical Assistance Commission, a job that pays $72,000 a year.

'Harris, a former deputy district attorney in Alameda County, was described by several people at the Capitol as Brown's girlfriend.'

Brown also appointed Harris to the state's Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, a lucrative position worth a further $97,088 a year, according to the same article.

Despite being dumped by Brown, Harris continued to enjoy his support when she ran for office herself, getting elected as San Francisco's first black district attorney in 2004. 

By then Brown had faced an FBI corruption investigation for allegedly handing out lucrative city contracts and appointments to friends and political allies.

His endorsement prompted accusations of cronyism, promptly denied by Harris who was dating the talk show host Montel Williams at the time.

In a 2003 interview during her campaign for San Francisco attorney general, Harris told SF Weekly that she refused 'to design my campaign around criticizing Willie Brown for the sake of appearing to be independent when I have no doubt that I am independent of him — and that he would probably right now express some fright about the fact that he cannot control me.

'His career is over. I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I do not owe him a thing.'

Harris was elected California's attorney general in 2010. When she ran for the Senate in 2016, Brown called on her likely opponent, Antonio Villaraigosa, to stay out of the race.

Brown and his legal wife Vitero never divorced - despite Brown having gone on to have a baby with his chief fundraiser Carolyn Carpenti in 2001.

Harris, meanwhile, has been married to entertainment lawyer Doug Emhoff since 2014.
