Vice President Kamala Harris “occasionally” turns on Fox News to watch “The Five” — and criticism of her on the show has lately ” got in her head and caused high anxiety,” according to a report.
A former aide to the vice president told Axios that Harris has reeled from the critical commentary by the Fox News personalities, which have included questioning her leadership skills and past relationships.
“It got in her head and caused high anxiety because they were constantly hammering her,” the former aide said.
Last June, “The Five” co-host Greg Gutfeld said the prospect of Harris taking over for Biden as president would be “scary.”
That same month, co-host Jessica Tarlov took issue with fellow panelist Jesse Watters insinuating that Harris’ past romantic relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown was “how she got ahead in politics.”
Meanwhile Harris’ boss, President Joe Biden, is reportedly a devoted viewer of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
According to Axios, Biden frequently calls the show’s co-host, Joe Scarborough, the former GOP congressman.
Biden has also consulted with “Morning Joe” panelists and commentators such as former Boston Globe columnist Mike Barnicle, foreign policy wonk Richard Haass and historian Jon Meacham, according to Axios.
Meacham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of bestsellers on Thomas Jefferson, George H.W. Bush and Andrew Jackson among others, has written speeches for Biden.
MSNBC said it would no longer pay Meacham to be a contributor after he failed to disclose that he wrote Biden’s acceptance speech after he won the election in 2020.
Meacham has still been allowed to appear on MSNBC’s air as a commentator.
Harris is also reportedly fond of “Morning Joe,” according to Axios.
Last month, she and her husband, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, hosted Scarborough and his wife-co-host, Mika Brzezinski, for dinner at the official vice presidential residence.
The Post has reached out to Harris seeking comment.
Harris and Brown dated in the mid-1990s when he was a lawmaker in the California State Assembly and she was a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office.
They ended their relationship in 1995 — a year before Brown became mayor of San Francisco.
While Brown was legally married at the time he and Harris were dating, he had been separated from his wife for about 10 years, according to reports.
In 1994, Brown, who was speaker of the Assembly at the time, appointed his then-girlfriend Harris to two state commissions — one of which paid her a salary of $72,000, according to the Los Angeles Times.
In November, Judge Jeanine Pirro said on “The Five” that Harris lacks “political savvy” to reverse her sagging poll numbers.
“That shows how inept she is when she’s supposed to be so political,” Pirro said during the Nov. 17 broadcast.
Fox News, which shares common ownership with The Post, did not respond to comment.

If Kamala Harris can’t, take criticism, she should get out of politics!!!
Maybe she should spend a day in Trump’s shoes and see what that’s like. She has it easy compared to him and any conservative running for any office. She needs to grow some skin and then some thick skin if she wants to stay in politics.
Awww…poor little thing! Time for her to put on her big girl pants! Good lord, she’s in politics. Can’t count the times she’s been nasty and mean to others. If I recall she was given the job of dealing the border crisis by her boss Creepy Joe. How’s that working out?!?! The ONLY reason she was put on the 2020 Democratic ticket was because she’s female, and a person of color. The goal was to garner votes from wine drinking, middle class, liberal white women.
Kamala would get more than tormented if she would play recording of her world salads bs speeches. — she might even go bat s-it !!
Faux News does what Faux News does…….If I try to sit and watch for a few minutes , I fail, because I change channels at the first lie they tried to push.
If Kamela expect to be treated fairly by Faux, she is in for a big disappointment.
if I was in the administration, I would tried to keep Faux in the dark and ridicule them at every turn and remind them CONSTANTLY of the $787 millions settlement in the Dominion case for LYING to their viewers.
Amazing they still have any viewers, BUT, I guess some people would rather be lie to constantly than for them ever acknowledge they are dummies that are been taken for fools
Imagine the depth of depression Kamala would get by listening to her salad regurgitations
Oh what nonsense, one show on Fox gives the truth and Camel-la gets upset 😭. Brett Bear and the rest on fox kiss her hiney , but that’s not good enough! Disgusting what politics has come to, it is about their feelings, and screw the working class!
Poor little Hitlersmith, you’re dumb as a box of rocks, but it’s typical of a democrat.
