The claim that Kamala Harris called Anderson Cooper a profanity after a tense CNN interview appears credible, based on Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book, Original Sin, published May 2025. Multiple outlets, including Fox News and Yahoo News, report the incident, and the authors are reputable journalists. No public denial from Harris’s office has been found, adding weight to the claim. However, the statement was private, and the book’s narrative could reflect selective framing. While evidence leans toward it being true, some uncertainty remains due to the lack of direct confirmation.
