New York Magazine dropped a Kamala Harris cover story this week that was quickly roasted by conservatives on X. The cover story, Welcome to Kamalot, shows Harris sitting on a coconut and being cheered on by Top Dems Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, and even George Clooney.
“Welcome to Kamalot! Our new issue grapples with the two weeks that reshaped the 2024 election — and the thrill of taking a risk on Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee,” the magazine shared on X.
“On the heels of President Joe Biden’s historic departure from his reelection campaign, our new issue captures the giddy, infectious, and potentially risky presidential campaign of Kamala Harris,” the post continued.
Conservatives, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, reacted to the story on X.
“Is it possible to completely manufacture a cultural phenomenon by taking a vapid, leftist San Francisco Democrat and turning her into something that she’s not through nonstop gaslighting? Corporate media is certainly trying to make ‘fetch’ happen…” DeSantis said.

“The play on words is about a fictional monarch who no one under their rule also voted for,” The Spectator’s Stephen Miller said.
“It’s a funny play on words, but a magazine referring to an earlier media-driven myth creation about a previous Democratic president is a bit on the nose,” The Washington Free Beacon’s Joe Gabriel Simonson wrote.
“Garish and dystopian,” Townhall.com writer Sarah Lee said. Several others called it “weird” and “cringe.”
