"Outnumbered" co-host Kayleigh McEnany highlighted the blatant contrast from Harris’ previous push for unity in 2016 when she was serving as California’s attorney general. Harris at the time tweeted, "Our unity is our strength and our diversity is our power. We reject the myth of ‘us’ versus ‘them.’ We are in this together."
"Cringe," McEnany said. "It's a far cry from the message of unity she projected."

Co-host Emily Compagno pulled no punches while criticizing the vice president, arguing that Harris says "absolutely nothing of substance."
"Get down to business. Stop the laughing, stop the inappropriate affect. Tell us what you are doing for this country because we are being let down every day to a horrible soundtrack I can't get out of my ears," Compagno said, referring to Harris’ cackling.

"Weirdly, I came out of that same neighborhood the way I am, knowing that my values reflect American people and hard work and ethic and freedoms and a lot of things that she has yet to articulate or yet to support with her policies," Compagno said.

"It was recycling, and we were conservatives, and we were conserving paper," Tafoya explained.
"Conservatives aren’t all bad. When [Harris] mentions ‘conservative’ and ‘bad,’ it makes me think of someone like my dad and my mom, and – I'm sorry – they weren't bad."
