Fox Business guest slammed for calling Kamala Harris a ‘Hawk Tuah girl’ in sexist outburst

A regular guest on the Fox Business network referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “the original ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl,” sparking online backlash about the sexist remark.

Alec Lace appeared on the network on July 5 to discuss the future of the Democratic party after President Joe Biden’s debate stumble — commentary that devolved into racist and sexist remarks about the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Lace suggested that Harris ascended to power by sleeping her way to the top.

“Kamala Harris — she’s the original ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl — that’s the way she got where she is. And the party’s going downhill if it’s in her hands,” Lace said.

His comment refers to a viral TikTok clip in which a woman is asked the question, “What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?” “You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang,” the woman replies, alluding to oral sex.

Social media users took to X to fume about Lace’s offensive remarks.

“Beyond disrespectful. Is he not a dad? Imagine someone spoke this way about his daughter/son in the future smh,” one user wrote. Lace’s Instagram bio says he is a father of four and the host of the podcast “First Class Fatherhood.”

Another remarked: “Alec lace should never be allowed on tv again. That was absolutely disgusting.”

The Independent has emailed a representative for Lace for comment.

On Wednesday, he addressed his controversial Fox Business appearance — but fell far short of an apology.

Lace responded to the online hate he has received in a post on X, clarifying that he appeared on the show before Biden exited the 2024 race. “Comparing Donald Trump to Hitler is dangerous and 100x worse than comparing Kamala Harris to the Hawk Tuah girl,” he continued, adding: “So save me
