Harris campaign tells Muslim interviewer he can't ask about Gaza, she talks up bacon instead: 'Taken aback' --Harris bungled interview so badly influencer doesn't air it | 4 Nov 2024 | Kamala Harris's interview with a Muslim social media influencer never saw the light of day after Harris refused to answer questions about Gaza but oddly gushed about bacon -- a food religiously forbidden for Muslims. Kareem Rahma, host of the popular Subway Takes which boasts almost a million followers on social media, made the decision to scrap the interview with Harris, which was filmed over the summer, he told the New York Times. Prior to the interview, Rahma was hoping to press Harris on policy, specifically the Biden administration's support for Israel amid the ongoing war in Gaza, which he opposes, per the Times... when Rahma sat down with Harris for the interview, she shared a different hot take, declaring that "bacon is a spice." "I don’t know," he reportedly pushed back in the unaired interview. The Times described him as "taken aback."
