Vice President Kamala Harris got angry after a tough CNN interview with Anderson Cooper. Right after the interview, she reportedly called him a “motherf—er” in front of her team, leading the moment to be known as when ‘Motherf—er’ Harris reportedly lashed out. This happened in June, just after President Joe Biden had a rough debate against Donald Trump. His weak performance sparked panic in the Democratic Party and eventually led to him stepping down from the race. The shocking moment appears in a new book titled Original Sin by CNN’s Jake Tapper and reporter Alex Thompson. According to the book, Harris felt disrespected and very upset with how Cooper questioned her.

Harris felt insulted by Cooper’s tough questions on Biden’s health

Harris didn’t like how Cooper spoke to her during the interview. She told her staff, “This motherf—er doesn’t treat me like the damn vice president of the United States. I thought we were better than that.” Her aides had actually warned her not to do any interviews after the debate. Biden looked weak, often lost his train of thought, and struggled to speak clearly. Despite those warnings, Harris decided to defend Biden on national TV. But the moment with Cooper clearly crossed a line for her. She took the questions personally and vented afterward, earning her the nickname ‘Motherf—er’ Harris reportedly.

Harris tried to calm panic in the Democratic Party after Biden’s bad debate

During the CNN interview, Anderson Cooper brought up the panic within the Democratic Party. He quoted party members who called the debate a “disaster” and a “train wreck.” He asked Harris if Biden should consider stepping aside. Harris pushed back. She said Biden had a “slow start” but ended strong. She reminded Cooper that people should look at Biden’s full record over the last three and a half years, not just a single debate. She added that people could “debate on style points,” but the substance of Biden’s work mattered more. Despite the tense exchange, ‘Motherf—er’ Harris reportedly managed to keep her composure during the interview.

Many in Biden’s circle liked how Harris defended the president. They saw her as a loyal and strong voice. But behind the scenes, Harris felt deeply frustrated. ‘Motherf—er’ Harris reportedly felt she expected more respect and didn’t appreciate the tone of the questions. The book says she felt Cooper’s questions echoed the fears of the nation, but she took them as a personal attack. Her reaction shows how tense and emotional that night was for the Biden team. The vice president stood by her boss, but she clearly felt rattled by how she was treated.

Biden struggled during debate practice and even slept through prep

The book also gives details about Biden’s preparation for the debate. It says Biden looked “rusty” during mock debates. He even slept through the first full day of prep at Camp David in Maryland. His team watched as his performance shifted from bad to just barely acceptable. Biden’s voice sounded weak. His delivery seemed unsure. His answers often wandered off-topic. Aides noticed he sat with his mouth open when he wasn’t talking. They told him to close it to avoid looking confused on camera. They also gave him cough drops to help with his hoarse voice. And ‘Motherf—er’ Harris reportedly had her own doubts during this chaotic period.

Biden blamed a cold for his poor debate performance

Biden later said a cold made him perform poorly during the debate. His aides tried to help him during the week of prep. But his voice got worse each day. At one point, his staff said they couldn’t hear him clearly during mock sessions. The book says the team realized how serious the situation was. Despite trying to manage it, Biden’s health affected how he spoke, and that raised concerns across the party. His team continued to defend him publicly, pointing to his past battle with a stutter. But many critics said that didn’t explain his recent struggles. Not surprisingly, ‘Motherf—er’ Harris reportedly took on a defensive role during this challenging time.

White House staff limited Biden’s public speaking to hide the problem

Biden’s aides took steps to reduce how often he spoke in public. When groups asked him to record five-minute videos, the White House often said he would send just one- or two-minute clips instead. Even short videos were hard for Biden to get through. He often made mistakes or stumbled over words. The media team tried to help by filming him from different angles. They used editing tools like jump cuts to hide mistakes. But they couldn’t fully cover up the problem. His ability to speak clearly had become a major issue. Meanwhile, ‘Motherf—er’ Harris reportedly continued to worry about the growing concern.

Biden later revealed advanced cancer after dropping out of the race

After the debate fallout and public pressure, Biden announced he would not run for a second term. He became the first elected president since Lyndon Johnson to make that decision. Weeks later, he revealed that doctors had diagnosed him with advanced prostate cancer. The disease had spread to his bones. His condition gave more weight to concerns about his ability to serve. It also explained some of the visible issues people noticed in his speech and behavior over the last year. Throughout this ordeal, ‘Motherf—er’ Harris reportedly remained a supportive yet vocal advocate.
