In an unexpected twist, renowned Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino has called on Vice President Kamala Harris to refrain from conducting any press interviews leading up to the election. Tarantino made this declaration during an expletive-laden rant on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast, expressing his unwavering support for Harris no matter what she says.

The director bluntly emphasized the importance of winning the election above all else, describing it as a frenzied race where any stumble could be detrimental. "She's not stopping to stumble, and... I'm going to vote for her f---ing anyway no matter what she says in the stupid f---ing interview, so don't f--- s--- up," Tarantino exclaimed.

Maher questioned Harris' reluctance to face the press, attributing it to a lack of willingness or capacity among left-leaning politicians to engage with those outside their ideological echo chamber. Maher suggested that Harris should consider appearing on his show as it reaches a crucial middle-ground audience, an audience that Harris needs in order to secure victory.

Tarantino conceded that Maher's argument had merit in normal election cycles but insisted that Democrats were solely focused on winning in November. He asserted that, regardless of any potential missteps, the Democrats were determined to oust President Trump and secure the presidency for themselves. "Sometimes it's just about f---ing winning, and it doesn't matter how we look at this moment," Tarantino declared.

Adding to a growing chorus of Democrats and left-leaning pundits, Tarantino joins those urging Harris to avoid formal interviews and engagements with the press. Maher, on his show over the weekend, even went so far as to claim that Harris' disregard for the media was more insulting than Trump's scathing attacks against news organizations.

Harris, who has been the Democratic nominee for over a month, has yet to participate in any interviews or hold news conferences. In contrast, President Trump has made himself readily available to the press, granting interviews and hosting news conferences throughout his presidency.

Although Harris had suggested scheduling an interview before the end of August, she has not yet fulfilled this commitment. When pressed by Fox News' Peter Doocy about the possibility of an interview with Fox News, Harris jokingly replied, "I'm working toward it."

At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Harris' campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodríguez, avoided questions from Fox News Digital, keeping her head down and swiftly leaving the scene when confronted about Harris' reluctance to address the press.

The mounting pressure on Harris to engage directly with reporters raises questions about transparency and accountability in political campaigns. As the election draws nearer, the extent of Harris' interaction with the media remains uncertain, leaving many curious about her stance on crucial issues and her vision for the country.
