- READ MORE: Stern’s controversial past comes to light before Kamala meeting
Former President Donald Trump criticized ‘beta man’ Howard Stern for throwing ‘SOFTBALL questions’ at Vice President Kamala Harris during their meeting in New York on Tuesday.
Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to complain about the interview, part of a media blitz that Harris participated in this week after appearing camera shy during the early months of her campaign.
During the exchange between Stern and Harris, Stern recalled his own fight with the Republican candidate, which Trump referenced in his Truth Social post.
“BETA Man Howard Stern made a fool of himself on his low-rated radio show when he ‘interviewed’ liar Kamala Harris and hit her with so many questions about SOFTBALL that even she felt embarrassed,” Trump wrote.
The Republican candidate said Stern “looked like a real fool working so hard to make a totally incompetent and ill-equipped person look as good as possible, which wasn’t very good.”

“I left Howard a long time ago, like most of the others, and have been credited with very good judgment ever since!” Trump said, adding “MAGA2024.”
In fact, Stern told Harris about his fight with Trump during their interview, telling the vice president that he has known the former president and Republican candidate “for many years.”
“He was at my wedding,” Stern said. “I always had a good time with him, but not as president of the United States.”
“You can’t go out with these extravagant dogs and cats and now these poor people who live in these communities are being threatened,” the veteran shock jock continued.
He was referring to unfounded claims by Trump and his running mate JD Vance that Haitian immigrants in the Springfield, Ohio, community were “eating the pets,” as the former president put it on the debate stage last month with Harris.
“You can’t have dinner with Nazis, you can’t do that,” Stern continued.
Trump got into trouble during Thanksgiving 2022 for entertaining well-known Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago alongside anti-Semitic rapper Kanye West.

‘How can anyone justify any of this? I don’t understand. “It’s crazy,” Stern said to Harris at one point.
Stern said his breakout moment with Trump occurred eight years ago.
The SiriusXM host was talking about Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris and Trump’s subsequent announcement that he “hated” the pop star.
“He’s done this to me,” Stern said.
‘When Donald asked me to introduce him at the Republican Convention. I said, ‘Donald, I can’t. I’m going to vote for Hillary Clinton,'” Stern recalled. “He got very angry with me and said: no, no, no, no, no. And then he hated me.
‘You know, I was a bad guy then. I no longer had qualifications. I wasn’t funny. I was, you know, I got all the shit for it,” Stern said.
