Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly used the f-word in a public interview with Rolling Stone magazine, as she continues rebooting her public profile heading into the election in November. 

Harris used the f-word to express her disappointment with the number of court cases surrounding the issue of abortion rights.

‘It’s f***ed up,’ she said referring to oral arguments in a Supreme Court case over an Idaho abortion ban.  

Harris painted herself as a change-maker, claiming she was a public official willing to challenge traditions and refuse to accept the status quo.

‘You start trying to change status quo, you f**k with status quo, it will fight you,’ she explained, arguing she was ‘impatient’ on issues that mattered to her.

Harris acknowledged during the interview that she was cursing more than previous Vice Presidents.

‘I curse more!’ she said with a laugh. ‘It’s not a new language to me, and I think when one speaks the language, one should get the pronunciation down. My pronunciation is very good, thank you very much!’

This is the second time in less than a month that Harris has publicly used the f-word.

The vice president also used the f-word in May to advise young people about pursuing their futures.

’Sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open; sometimes they won’t,” she said during an event with young Asian-Americans. ‘And then you need to kick that fucking door down.’ 

 Harris spent time in the Rolling Stone interview highlighting her record as a fighter, one of two main themes the Biden campaign is focusing on as she campaigns for reelection.

She spoke about getting into a physical fight with a kid on the playground when she was in kindergarten to defend her best friend.

‘I jumped in and ended up getting in a fight with the kid,’ she said, pointing out it was ‘just my instinct’ to be a protector.

‘I hate bullies. I can’t abide by people who use their power in a way that is intended to diminish other people,’ she added.

Harris was more composed, when she was asked about her first reaction to the Supreme Court Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.

She recalled calling her husband Doug Emhoff and using ‘words’ that she felt comfortable using with him.

‘"Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. Bleep,’" she said recalling the words of her conversation. '“Can you believe what they did?” And I remember saying to him, “They did it. They actually did it.“’

Harris described the moment as ‘surreal,’ admitting that she did not think the Supreme Court would actually send the issue of abortion back to the states.

‘Oh, it took the wind out of me,’ she recalled.

Harris said she did not like categorizing the issue of abortion as a difference between the political left and the right.

‘There is not a woman in her twenties who, if she’s having sex with a man, isn’t worried about getting pregnant unintentionally,’ she said. ‘So talk about a lived experience for a whole lot of people who don’t think about “Am I left or right?“’

When she was reminded of her ‘3 am agenda’ platform from her campaign, Harris said that as Vice President she ‘often’ woke up at three in the morning, as she was worried about the election.

‘I’m deeply concerned about the significance and consequence of this election,’ she said.

Harris said she had taken 40 trips to 16 different states in just the last four months.

She spoke about her visit to the Parkland high school in February, revealing the gory details of what she saw in the building.

‘The blood was there. Obviously, it’s dry, but the blood was there. You could see where there had been pools of blood where these children were slaughtered,’ she said.

Harris also reacted to the issue of young people protesting the Israeli war in Palestine, reminding them of what Hamas did in Israel during the October 7 attack..  

‘On October 7, 1,200 people were slaughtered, many of them young people attending a concert. Think Burning Man. Women were horribly raped. I’ve seen this in different places around the world, rape being used as a tool of war,’ she said.

But she also criticized Israel for killing too many innocent Palestinians, demanding a cease fire and more work for a two-state solution in the region.

 ’And we must fight what we have seen as a rise of antisemitism around the world. And we must fight Islamophobia,' she added. ‘And people are living in fear.’

Harris laughed when asked by Rolling Stone what music she was listening to recently, suggesting she was too busy to listen to music and pointing to her briefing binder.

‘What music? The pages turning in my binder!’ she replied laughing. ‘This is my little songbook. This is today’s. So what music am I listening to at the moment? Apparently, my little violin.’

In the past, Harris has frequently spoke her love of music, reminding people she grew up with the album 'Young, gifted and black'  by Aretha Franklin.

Harris also likes to visit vinyl record stores which offers her a chance to talk about her love of music.

In February, Harris visited a record store during a trip to Michigan and purchased a Miles Davis album.

Last year, Harris also visited a record store and showed off her purchases to the press including Charlie Mingus, whom she said was “one of the greatest jazz performers ever;” a Roy Ayers’ album, 'Everybody Loves the Sunshine, which she called one of her 'favorite albums of all time' and Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald’s collaborative 1959 album, Porgy and Bess.

Harris also loves dancing to music. On Monday she was spotted dancing on stage during a concert at the White House celebrating Juneteenth. 

Gospel singer Kirk Franklin pulled Harris up on stage during his performance of the song 'Smile.'

 Harris grasped Franklin's hand and took a spin before she started free-styling dance moves to the beat of the music for less than a minute before leaving the stage.

She spoke about the importance of music during the event.  

'Through the struggles and successes of our history, Black artists like these have put song to our nation’s fight for freedom,' she said. 'Through spirituals, blues, and gospel, through jazz, soul, and hip-hop, artists give voice to the joy and hope, ambition and aspiration, courage and conviction of the people of our nation.'
