Speaking during an interview on ABC’s “The View,” Vice President Kamala Harris announced that she had a “mole” inside Fox News channel, a friend who has fed her insider information from Fox News, including on election night. The news came as she discussed finding out she failed on election night, but could hint at big problems for Fox News moving forward.
For reference, former Vice President and failed 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s claims on the matter came when she appeared on “The View” on Tuesday, September 23. As she discussed finding out that she was going to lose, she claimed that she had a source within Fox News Channel’s election night war room who leaked data to her and her campaign team about how badly she was losing.
The context of her story was that, as she told “The View” audience and co-hosts, her husband, Doug Emhoff, had been campaigning alongside her brother-in-law, and seemed to have good news. She began by saying that Emhoff “told me that he had been out campaigning with my brother-in-law in Pennsylvania, and we met back up in D.C., and I remember him being a little out of sorts, but there was so much happening.”
Continuing, Kamala explained that the news had initially been quite good, or at least Emhoff insisted that things from his on-the-ground perspective seemed good, saying, “But on his way back from a rally where there was an incredible amount of enthusiasm, people on the ground were like, ‘We got it, we got it, we’re gonna do this.”
However, that ran into the iron wall of reality, as the mole inside Fox News secretly fed them information, or so she claimed, about what was really happening in Pennsylvania. She said, “And then they talked with a mutual friend of ours who was over at Fox News, in the war room, who had been hearing about data that suggested things were not looking great in Pennsylvania.”
Kamala then added that her husband reported “prayed it was not gonna be a bad night” while in the shower. And, commenting on her loss, she threw Biden under the bus, saying, “I am a loyal person, and I didn’t fully appreciate how much people wanted to know there was a difference between me and President Biden.”

Predictably, conservatives were outraged by Kamala’s claims about having an inside source at Fox News, noting that such information makes trusting the network to provide reliable information or support MAGA candidates impossible, as media bastions of Democrat support certainly don’t have Trump agents within them.
Amongst the accounts that drew attention to that online was the Johnny MAGA X account, which wrote, “Kamala says she has a friend in the Fox News war room who was leaking her team data on election night. How many ‘friends’ do you think President Trump has at MSNBC? This is why we don’t trust Fox.”
