Rahma featured Harris on his online show &#8220;Subway Takes,&#8221; where he humorously interviews random subway riders in brief 90-second segments, often asking them to defend quirky opinions. Harris was among his few notable guests. After several discussions with her team and the Democratic National Committee, they reached an agreement for the interview. However, during the conversation, Harris deviated from their planned topic of opposing shoe removal on airplanes and instead claimed that &#8220;bacon is a spice.&#8221; This surprised Rahma since he is Muslim and does not consume pork. Although campaign officials later stated that this topic had been pre-approved, both Rahma and his manager denied any prior discussion about it. Following this unexpected turn of events, which included a suggestion from a staff member for her to talk about anchovies on pizza instead of sticking to their original plan, Rahma ended the interview early. He expressed frustration over how complicated things became due to his faith amidst ongoing global issues affecting Muslims\u2014specifically referencing the war in Israel that began in October 2023 after Hamas&#8217;s attack on Israelis. The Harris campaign later apologized for the situation and offered to reshoot the segment; however, Rahma declined their offer and chose to steer clear of political content moving forward<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2364682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Kamala-interview.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[5107,6234,32438,44441],"class_list":["post-2364681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-insult","tag-interview","tag-kamala-harris","tag-unaired"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Kamala-interview.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2364681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2364681"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2364681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2364685,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2364681\/revisions\/2364685"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2364682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2364681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2364681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2364681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
