from what i saw, he clarified that he didn't want to be blamed for it by psychotic people, not that he thinks he has that kind of power in particular, or that she really had a chance otherwise.
I know it's explained in the article but I thought the byline was funny
I’m torn on this, because “bacon is a spice” is equally likely to be something Kamala came up with organically because she’s that bizarre, as it is that her advisers came up with it as a cringe combination of 2010’s “le epic bacon” memes and that “is a hot dog a sandwich?” debate.

This makes a disturbing amount of sense. Did you work for KKKamala?
I am but a mere lanyard-whisperer
I mean, bacon is a spice was literally something said back then so. I know several people that said it.
Edit:
e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/kae06t/can_bacon_be_considered_as_a_spice/
They also sell premade "bacon bits" in the spice sections of some

starting to think dems stopped with the "republicans are weird" strategy because they realized kamala is also really weird
What's their excuse for not releasing it now? Protecting the Democratic brand?
the last known copy is being held by the SCP Foundation for being lethally cringe
I think he just finds it cringe and doesn't want to be associated with it lol
hate this guys content for its "x celebrity is so relatably quirked up" psyop
Rahma feared at the time that he would be blamed if Harris lost the election.
Probably correct
“Do you think that was her opinion, or do you think she got like a research group to try and figure something out,” Bertoni asked in a longer version of the clip.
“Research group, because originally the take that I was pitched was great,” Rahma replied.
her take? fake, because it was not his take 
“It was that she does not like to take her shoes off on airplanes.”
??? thats not a take its basic courtesy
Bro Asian airlines give everyone slippers and everyone takes their shoes off. Keeping your shoes on during long flights is not good for you, at all.
it just stinks like obvious engagement bait moreso than being a genuinely "weird" "take"
"Kamala: I don't like to take my shoes off"
"same I hate shoes removers send them to jail"
"wait but I take my shoes off? actually, they do it on other airlines too"
"nooo keep them on!!!"
which makes sense since it was the content creator that proposed it rather than being an actually held belief of Kamala's
"omg i bet trump takes his shoes off like ^this^ and wriggles his nasty little piggies ewww gross"
100%, engagement bait works on me far too often for my own comfort.
Learned thar from Die Hard
Fists with your toes, huh?
She's a weird alien person just like Trump is, just like Biden is, just like JD Vance is, just like Hillary Clinton is, just like George W. Bush is.

We can put words on top of the emojis? Science has gone too far
I'm saving future historians years of work by annotating my hieroglyphs
Damn this is some emoji evolution
u got me reading the source code of your comment to understand how u did that
Oh, I should explain so no one else has to figure it out by looking at a mess of links:
{bottom | top} becomes {bottom | top} with the cool mark up system we have!
Now you can just replace the bottom text with an emote or image... which may or may not be exploiting an oversight by the devs 
This discovery will revolutionise emoji usage
{ |BLEH BLEH BLEH}
{
| 🧐}
{
| do not come}
Edit: test post disregard
{
| i'm jorkin' it}
{ 
| Did someone say Jorkin' DaPeanus? }
This is even better than if the text actually got into the bubble correctly
Does it not for you? Here's what I've got on Windows/Firefox:
I tried on Chrome and Edge, and it just floats above the bubble. Glyph positioning is weird in the Chromium engine, I think.
it looks right on desktop, wrong on mobile
Lmao

Should be an emoji
TLDR: her take was "bacon is a spice." the host said this was something they changed it to before the interview, probably because some research team recommended it. When they originally booked the interview her take was supposed to be "I don't like to take my shoes off on airplanes."
Y'all take your shoes off on airplanes?
think rich class seats, not the way we travel. when you have a little cubicle of your own, you probably do take off your shoes
I mean I always wear slides to the airport, so taking those off isn't that much different from keeping them on. I wouldn't take off actual shoes though
I definitely have for overnight ones, yeah. I usually go and change socks in the bathroom to not stink
All the Asian airlines I’ve ridden give you slippers when you get on tje plane, because wearing your shoes on a long flight is bad for your blood flow and can exacerbate the swelling you’re already going to get from sitting for that long. Long story short, yes, and so should you.

I doubt it would make a difference. People went out of their way to defend all the cringe pandering Hillary did like the “hot sauce” soundbite.
He's hiding something. Kamala actually said "does the Narwhal Bacon at midnight" and he hid it in fear of revealing she's a redditor.
