On Saturday (July 27), comedian Amanda Seales lit up the internet once again with her commentary. This time, she directed her sights to Vice President Kamala Harris and recounted a meeting that Seales said took place between the two women.
The “Smart, Funny and Black” creator shared a video about her interaction with the presumptive Democratic nominee. The clip started with Seales saying: “I don’t need politicians to state things—I need politicians to do things.” She then told a story of how Harris demanded to meet with her.
“When I met with Kamala Harris after she summoned me, I told her straight up, ‘You talk out two sides of your neck, and we don’t know what you’re talking about.’ I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Kamala Harris who is trying to shut me the f**k up,” Seales stated.
Seales claimed she told Harris that she feels “like she is disingenuous in her messaging.” Harris allegedly replied that the actress was “being too critical.” Seales then retorted: “’I am a voter—I’m supposed to be critical. And I want to see action.’” The star then said Harris sought her guidance on how to talk about this country’s racism problem.
“[Harris] said ‘How am I supposed to talk about racism in America without calling Americans racist?’ I said, ‘First of all, there are many racist Americans, but there’s also policies, legislation, institutions, and systems that are racist that need to be addressed,’” Seales said in the video.
Seales apparently instructed her to do that in a bold way and told Harris “I’m not telling you how to feel—I’m telling you how to sound.” Her video has since gone viral on X, with one user in particular @itsellemurasaki challenging Seales and her insistence on constantly crusading for Black people.
“Why would you get up on the internet and be against the people that you said you was for? That’s what I would like to know,” @itsellemurasaki asked. Seales recently went viral for calling the assassination attempt on Trump staged then later retracting her words.
