VP Kamala Harris did two big media appearances on Tuesday: the Howard Stern show and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Both men, Colbert and Stern, despise Donald Trump and they were so lovely to VP Harris. Of course, Colbert would interview Trump if Trump agreed to go on The Late Show. That’s just the thing though – Trump prefers his echo chamber in right-wing media, and even those people are exhausted with him (I saw a clip of Laura Ingraham fact-checking his lies in real time the other night). Anyway, the Colbert interview was great. A lot of politicians are in stump-speech mode when they come on late-night shows, but VP Harris was funny, personable and chatty. Colbert’s audience chanted “Kamala, Kamala” when she walked on too. Colbert asked her about Hurricane Helene and Milton (which is making landfall in Florida right now), they talked about the debate, and Colbert asked her about the breaking-news from Bob Woodward’s new book, War.
My favorite part is in the third video, where Kamala passes the “would you want to have a beer with her” vibe check. Colbert gave her a Miller High Life, which is apparently what she requested. Kamala took one sip and she started taking sh-t about how Trump is a loser and how he incited an insurrection. Immaculate, no notes.
