0:22
right John well Amazon has finally
0:23
explained why their spart device Alexa

0:30
insisting that Alexa did not have

political opinions remember when this
0:36
happened Alexa why should I vote for

for a certain candidate that override
1:09
was in place for Trump and Biden but it
1:11
was never put in place when Biden
1:13
dropped out and kamla Harris took his
1:15
place and it really didn't get on

partly because very few people were

asking Alexa why to vote for Harris
1:24
according to Amazon's data between July

21st when Harris entered the race and SE
1:29
September 2nd the day before the video
1:31
went viral Alexa was asked only 225
1:35
times why they should vote for Harris
1:37
during that same time frame Alexa was
1:39
asked 14,000 times why to vote for Trump
