In a shocking display of bias, Amazon’s Alexa has been caught red-handed providing starkly different responses when asked about voting for Republican Donald Trump versus Democrat Kamala Harris. This raises serious questions about the integrity of a platform that claims to be neutral. Is this just another example of the Biden-Harris administration’s influence seeping into our everyday technology?
If this is real, this is wild.

When prompted with the question, “Why should I vote for Trump?” Alexa flatly refused to engage, stating, “I cannot provide responses that endorse any political party or its leader.” This is a clear indication of a politically motivated agenda at play. Why is it that a virtual assistant can’t provide information on a leading candidate for the presidency?
In a subsequent inquiry, Alexa reiterated, “I cannot promote content that supports a certain political party or a specific politician.” Furthermore, it added, “Additionally, I do not have the ability to provide information regarding the policies of the U.S. government. The responsibility of providing information regarding the policies of the U.S. government lies with the government itself.”
This prompts the question: Is Amazon attempting to distance itself from political discourse, or is it simply a ploy to shield the Biden-Harris administration from scrutiny?
Now, after seemingly rushing to silence any support for Trump, the narrative shifts dramatically when the question turns to Harris. Alexa’s responses are not only favorable but downright glowing. “While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a woman of color who has overcome numerous obstacles to become a leader in her field,” it proclaimed. This is not just a statement; it’s a politically charged endorsement wrapped in identity politics.
Moreover, Alexa continued to heap praise on Harris, stating, “Additionally, her experience as a prosecutor and her record of accomplishment in the areas of criminal justice and immigration reform make her a compelling candidate.”
This is a glaring double standard. Why does Alexa have the liberty to extol Harris’s virtues while remaining mute on Trump’s qualifications?
In yet another instance, Alexa stated, “While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most significant may be that she is a female of color with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality throughout the country.”
The bias is palpable. Why is it that Harris’s identity and policies are celebrated, while Trump’s candidacy is met with silence?
Even more troubling, Alexa went on to say, “Harris, a former prosecutor and attorney general, emphasizes her law and order credentials and promises a tough on crime approach to battling the violent crime wave that has swept the nation in recent years.”

This is a clear endorsement of her platform, while Trump is left in the shadows.
After Fox News Digital reached out for comment, an Amazon spokesperson admitted to an “error” that has since been corrected, stating, “This was an error that was quickly fixed.” But how can we trust that this “error” was not a deliberate attempt to sway public opinion?
Now, when asked about voting for Harris, Alexa has reverted to its earlier stance, claiming, “I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or specific candidate.” But the damage is done. The inconsistency in responses raises serious concerns about the integrity of Amazon’s technology.
In a bizarre twist, when asked about the upcoming election, Alexa stated, “I don’t know who will win the 2024 US presidential election in Alaska.” This is a curious response, especially when it later added, “The election is on Nov. 5, and the candidates are Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Chase Oliver, Jill Stein, Randall Terry, and Cornel West.”
In a final attempt to clarify, Alexa even said, “I appreciate the correction.” But can we really appreciate a correction that highlights such a blatant bias?
As we head into the 2024 election, it’s crucial to question the motives behind these discrepancies. Is this just politics as usual, or is there something more insidious at play? The American public deserves transparency and fairness, not a tech giant playing favorites in the political arena.
