Kamala Harris was not treated with kid gloves.

In a “study” conducted by professors at Stanford University and Arizona State University and reported by CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday, fourth-graders attacked the vice president and Democratic nominee.

“What is the first word that comes to mind when you hear the name Kamala Harris?” asked Asheley Landrum, a professor at Arizona State.

“Liar,” a boy from Texas shot back without batting an eyelid.

“It would be good for us to have a black woman as president for the first time in history, but my vote still goes for Trump,” added a black girl who was definitely not of voting age.

“I just don’t think a woman would be suitable to be our president,” said another girl from Texas.

“Why do you think that you think a woman would not be suitable for the presidency?” Landrum asked.

“I think because only boys have been president so far and that they would be stronger,” the girl replied.

When asked for a word to describe Harris, the girl called her “selfish” and explained that “girls are a little dramatic sometimes.”

Described by CNN as a “psychologist,” Landrum has a doctorate in psychology but teaches at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Stanford political scientist Shanto Iyengar was the other researcher involved in the study, which CNN published as an article on Thursday.

Landrum donated $20 to Harris' super PAC in July while interviewing the children. In an email Friday, she told the Post that she had been “recruited” by CNN producers to “work on an investigative report examining children's attitudes toward the presidential candidates” and that she was “happy to disclose.” , that she is a Harris donor and registered as an independent in Arizona.

“The report is a study prepared under the standards of an academic study, but since I did not do the work through the university and it is published on CNN, I am not publishing it in a peer-reviewed journal,” Landrum added.

Both she and CNN declined to comment on whether she was paid for the work.

Iyengar donated $550 to Barack Obama's presidential campaign in 2008.

Landrum conducted interviews with 10- and 11-year-olds in New Jersey, Texas and Arizona in May and September and found that children in blue states like New Jersey gave “more extreme answers” when asked questions about the 2024 election.

Children in Democratic-leaning states were nine times more likely to express negative feelings toward Trump (78) than children in Republican-leaning states were negative feelings toward Harris (59).

“What is the first word that comes to mind when you hear the name Donald Trump?” Landrum asked in another interview.

“Pure evil,” replies a girl from New Jersey.

“Donald Trump gives his life and his heart,” a Texas girl retorted when asked about the 45th president in May, two months before an assassination attempt against him.

“Do you think it's OK for someone who is a convicted felon to become president of the United States?” The boy who called Harris a “liar” is asked at another point.

“Yes,” he replied without reservation.

Others in deep blue New Jersey called Trump “brave” for surviving “a gunshot” at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

However, nearly a third of the children appeared to be focused on Trump's status as a “convicted felon” following his “hush money” case in Manhattan, whose sentencing was recently postponed until after Election Day.
