The Hall of Famer, Magic Johnson a five-time NBA champion, received backlash on social media for his comments on Vice President Kamala Harris’ CNN interview. Johnson, who has not been shy about his political views, commended Harris for her display during the recorded interview. He spoke highly about X (previously known as Twitter), stating, “Vice President Kamala Harris performed exceptionally well in her CNN interview this evening! She has a concrete plan for the nation.
Social Media Reaction
Many people did not react positively to Johnson’s remarks. Social media users slammed Harris for her unclear answers, especially concerning her “day one” plans. One individual responded to Johnson, inquiring, “What is the plan?” Provide details. Some were more straightforward, questioning the admiration of Harris and Johnson. One individual commented, “After failing for 3.5 years… Why do you think this vision would improve the country?”
Despite facing opposition, Johnson stuck to his belief and reinforced it with a subsequent post. He stressed that Harris had a strong and clear stance on topics such as the economy, foreign policy, and immigration. He also observed her modesty when she described why her opinions had shifted on certain issues, viewing it as a sign of personal development.
Divided Responses
Nevertheless, Johnson’s follow-up post failed to calm the criticism. Social media stayed split, as some felt Johnson had not paid close attention to the interview. One user responded by suggesting that they hadn’t watched the interview, in agreement that Harris had not offered the promised clarity.
Magic Johnson’s venture into political commentary is still stirring up discussion, demonstrating that even iconic figures are met with criticism when they step into the political realm.
