A TikTok creator who was featured in Oprah Winfrey’s town hall interview with Vice President Kamala Harris last week criticized the use of her video without permission, mocking Harris and announcing that she will not vote for her in November. The TikTok creator, who goes by the username Blaire_Allison, expressed disappointment that Winfrey’s team did not secure permission to feature her original video, in which she discussed the struggles of average Americans due to the high cost of living. The TikTok mocking Harris has garnered over 2 million views on X and over 100,000 views on the original video. The creator stated that she does not support Harris for president and believes that Harris does not prioritize Americans’ well-being.
In a follow-up TikTok, the content creator reiterated her lack of support for Harris and expressed frustration that she was not notified before her clip was used in the Oprah Winfrey interview. She emphasized that she is a patriotic American who believes that Harris does not prioritize Americans’ needs and has not outlined a plan to improve their livelihoods, leading her to decide not to vote for Harris in the upcoming election. The original video that was featured in the town hall highlighted the financial struggles faced by people on average salaries, including teachers and minimum wage workers, due to inflation and high costs.
Social media commenters praised the TikTok creator’s rebuttal to the Winfrey interview, describing her criticism of Harris as “savaging” and “hysterical.” Harris spoke with Winfrey at the “Unite for America Rally” event, which featured various celebrities and included questions and stories from citizens across the country. Harris has faced criticism for avoiding the media since announcing her run for president, with a significant gap of 63 days without holding an official press conference. Despite pressure to engage with the media, Harris has recently conducted interviews with various outlets, including CNN and the National Association of Black Journalists. Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign and the organizers of the rally, but did not receive responses regarding the TikTok creator’s rebuttal video.
The TikTok creator’s original video from November addressed the challenges of affording life on an average American salary, highlighting specific examples such as a teacher struggling to pay for a one-bedroom apartment that did not include a washer and dryer. The video expressed frustration over the high cost of living, with the creator questioning how people on average salaries were managing their expenses. The TikTok creator’s criticism of Harris and her decision not to vote for her in the upcoming election reflect broader concerns about the vice president’s policies and priorities, particularly regarding Americans’ financial well-being.
Overall, the TikTok creator’s response to the unauthorized use of her video in the Oprah Winfrey interview underscores her disapproval of Kamala Harris and her decision not to support the vice president in the upcoming election. The creator’s videos have generated significant attention on social media, with many users praising her for challenging Harris and highlighting the struggles faced by average Americans. Harris’s avoidance of the media and limited engagement with press conferences have also drawn criticism, with calls for more transparency and accountability from the vice president. The ongoing debate surrounding Harris’s candidacy and policies remains a key issue leading up to the election.
