Australian media slams Kamala Harris for taking 'half a million dollars' to say 'I am unemployed right now' at real estate event

Sky News Australia tore into former vice president Kamala Harris for being the chief speaker at a real estate event in Gold Coast, where she was reported paid half a million dollars to "essentially chuckle on stage and make jokes about being unemployed".

The former vice president was in Australia Sunday to speak at the Australian Real Estate Conference, where she sat on stage with real estate industry veteran John McGrath and spoke about her mother, Playboy Magazine covers, hormones and being unemployed right now. Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power called Kamala Harris a comedian as she asked comedian and commentator Alex Stein to comment on Harris's Australia outing. “She can’t do any worse than spending $1 billion on her presidential campaign and somehow ending up $100 million in debt,” Stein said, adding that he double-checked whether Kamala Harris ever visited Australia when she was the vice president and the answer is no. "I wonder why she's there now. I know why she's there now. She is there for the money," Stein said. “Kamala Harris is not having very good job prospects, or many offers here in America that are that great, so what is she going to do? She’s going to go to Australia," Stein said.

What Kamala Harris said at the real estate event

"My mother was actually very funny because she would say, 'You look at the cover of Playboy magazine, let me just tell you, the reason that people are looking at these things, understand what they were developed for the perpetuation of the human species!' She was very practical that way," Kamala Harris said and began laughing. "I don't aspire to be humble. And I don't recommend it, I think that one must be humble. But to aspire to be humble would be quite inauthentic," she said on humility. "If one understands that, just, I mean, there's so much that is magnificent and awe-inspiring about this world and its people."When the moderator said he believed that Kamala Harris's best work is ahead of her, for sure, Harris said, "I am unemployed right now. Go on, let's speak truth."
