Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer reacts to a podcast clip where former US vice president Kamala Harris was open to discussion on eliminating the Electoral College. “If I personally sounded that appallingly stupid every time that I opened my mouth, I would like to think that I would have the good sense and decency to hide my head in a paper bag,” Mr Hammer told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “She has no shame, no shame whatsoever, because she is out there for God knows what reason. “Deeply anti-Democratic, anti-Republican, anti-Constitutional, dare I even say, kind of short of fascist notion that we should just go ahead and abolish the Electoral College.”
