Author Douglas Murray has slammed actress Drew Barrymore over her “grotesque” praise of Vice President Kamala Harris during her talk show. The Vice President appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show where the actress closely leant into Ms Harris’ face to discuss the state of US politics. “I've been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug in the world right now,” Barrymore said. “But in our country, we need you to be Mamala of the country.” Mr Murray said the United States does not need a mum but needs an “effective president and vice president”. “We have this kind of mouthwash from the Democrat supporters in the celebrity class who pretend that actually, Kamala Harris, who can't do the jobs that she was assigned to do, will do a job that nobody could perform and nobody should perform,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
