Kamala Harris is speaking out again—this time from overseas—and her latest comments are raising eyebrows among conservatives.
While addressing the 2025 Australian Real Estate Conference on the Gold Coast, the failed Democratic presidential candidate took direct aim at President Donald Trump’s bold “America First” foreign policy and indirectly attacked tech billionaire Elon Musk for warning about the West’s overreliance on empathy.
Taking Shots at Elon Musk and ‘America First’
In a thinly veiled jab at Musk, Harris referenced his recent viral interview with Joe Rogan, where the Tesla CEO said Western societies are being destroyed by what he called “civilizational suicidal empathy.”
“There was someone—very popular in the press—who claimed empathy is a weakness of Western civilization,” Harris said. “Imagine that. No, it’s a strength to care about others.”
However, Musk’s actual point struck a deeper chord with many Americans: that empathy is being exploited by bad actors to dismantle strong nations from within.
“They’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization,” Musk told Rogan. “The empathy response is being used against us.”
Kamala Harris Criticizes Trump’s Foreign Policy Without Saying His Name
Harris also took a historical swipe at Trump’s America First policy, comparing it to isolationism in the 1930s—policies many argue led to global conflict.
“It’s important that we remember the 1930s,” Harris said. “Isolation does not equal insulation. Relationships built on trust, honesty, and integrity matter.”
Her comments, while avoiding Trump’s name, clearly targeted his foreign policy strategy, which prioritizes national sovereignty, border security, and reduced foreign entanglements.
Back in the Spotlight—and Still on the Attack
Despite a crushing electoral defeat and months out of the public eye, Harris appears determined to stay politically relevant. Speaking recently at Emerge’s 20th anniversary gala in San Francisco, she launched another attack on President Trump, accusing him of triggering “the greatest manmade economic crisis in modern presidential history.”
She also accused the Trump administration of a “wholesale abandonment” of American ideals—claims many on the Right view as political theater from a failed contender.
What’s Next for Kamala Harris?
Now 60 and out of office, Harris appears to be weighing her next move. Insiders suggest she may be eyeing a 2026 run for California governor—or perhaps a 2028 presidential bid.
“I’m unemployed right now,” Harris joked in Australia, drawing laughter from the crowd—but her remarks may have been more calculated than casual.
BOTTOM LINE
Kamala Harris is back—and she’s not holding back. From criticizing Trump’s America First doctrine to dismissing Elon Musk’s warnings about cultural decline, she’s planting the seeds for a political comeback. But with Trump’s popularity stronger than ever and Musk seen as a champion of free speech and American innovation, her message may fall flat with a majority of voters—especially conservatives who remember the consequences of Democrat-led policies all too well.
