Call her daddy drags kamala harris, saying $100,000 set was not-so-nice cardboard walls in some random house

It wasn’t a set.

It is being described as a bunch of cardboard walls in some random house in D.C., but it still cost more than $100,000 to build and Alex Cooper isn’t holding any punches.

After hearing this, if you go back the podcast episode and take a second look, you can see she’s not lying. It was a hack job.

In a recent interview with the host of Call Her Daddy, the iconic host Alexandra Cooper casually (but not-so-casually) called out Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly dropping a jaw-dropping $100,000 on a makeshift studio set for an interview in Washington, D.C. And let’s just say, the vibes were… not six-figure fancy.

Here’s the setup: The interview didn’t even take place in a proper studio. Nope, it happened in what Cooper’s guest described as a “random house” in D.C. The Harris campaign allegedly shelled out six figures to make the setting resemble Cooper’s chic L.A. studio, which, by the way, doesn’t even cost six figures, she said.

Yep, you heard that right—Alex’s studio, which is all marble glam and influencer aesthetic, costs LESS than whatever these “cardboard walls” were supposed to be.

“With love to them,” Cooper joked, “it wasn’t THAT nice.” Translation: You could’ve slapped some LED lights on a bookshelf, and it would’ve made the same point.

So, what exactly did the campaign spend all that money on? Custom wallpaper? A golden microphone? A backup set of chairs for… vibes? The mystery remains. But one thing’s for sure: This is a lesson in budgeting we didn’t see coming.

The internet, naturally, has thoughts. Critics are raising eyebrows at the expense, while fans of Call Her Daddy are LOL-ing at how Cooper’s real studio manages to look high-end without requiring VP-level funds.

We have questions. Was this a case of trying too hard to impress? Did they just overestimate the cost of looking podcast-chic? And most importantly—what does a $100,000 set actually look like? Or was it just another example of the Kamala campaign burning through their billion dollar campaign stash before election night to make sure some connected contractor on the back end got paid well for a pretty crappy job?
