Andrew Schulz: Kamala Harris ‘Blatantly Lied’ About Podcast Invite
Rebel comedian sets record straight in stunning New York Times profile
Andrew Schulz is disrupting the Legacy Media in real time.
The rogue comic’s work, be it on stage or with his podcasts (“Flagrant,” “Brilliant Idiots”), undermines what biased reporters share.
President Joe Biden is sharp as a tack, reporters claim. Schulz argues otherwise.
Schulz, along with so-called “podcast bros” like Tim Dillon, Theo Von and Joe Rogan, gave Team Trump plenty of attention via their respective podcasts.
And we all know who won last November.
Now, Schulz is opening up to The New York Times on a host of issues. He’s a self-proclaimed Democrat who voted for Trump, for starters. He also sought to set the record straight on why he didn’t interview Vice President Kamala Harris in the waning days of the 2024 presidential campaign.
He tried. She denied. And Team Harris won’t come clean about it.
Schulz reveals his podcast contacts reached out to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz and Harris for interviews during the campaign.
They all declined. It gets worse regarding Team Harris, who he said lied about his outreach efforts.
They say you didn’t? Yeah, and it’s wild to blatantly lie when not only did I reach out — Charlamagne, who’s working with them, reached out. Mark Cuban, who’s a surrogate, reached out, and we reached out, and they blatantly lie. Then when people write articles about it, they’ll say, “Andrew says he reached out to Kamala, but we reached out to the Kamala people, and they said that never happened.” So what is the reader supposed to interpret that as?
An evasion. I think it’s an indictment on me, because it’s almost like calling me a liar.
It’s more than that, of course. Schulz is being diplomatic with the framing.
The interview is fascinating on many levels, revealing a thoughtful comic who understands the culture and is still finding his role within it.
He’s already learned the hard way how political operatives throw sharp elbows, the kind that aren’t remotely funny.
