Kamala’s interview with Colbert
She showed why her campaign tried to hide her; he showed why he’s being cancelled
Kamala Harris did not give a solo interview for 54 days after the being given the Democratic presidential nomination last year. She did not give an interview at all until a joint interview with her vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, 39 days after being given the nomination.
Knowing that she was the least popular vice president of all time and never did well in interviews, her strategists hoped enough people hated Trump that she would win simply by staying silent.
When they finally realized that was a failing strategy - it was later revealed that every internal poll showed her losing - they went to the other extreme with a major interview blitz, which of course turned out badly.
Every interview showed that she was completely over her head. She lacked basic knowledge of important issues, offered few specifics about how she was going to make the country better, and disastrously said that she couldn’t think of anything she would’ve done differently than Biden did.
She was embarrassing even when taking softball questions from left wing activist reporters who desperately wanted her to win. That scared people who imagined how she’d do when meeting with leaders of countries that hate America and want to destroy us.
Last Thursday, after almost nine months, she finally gave her first interview since the election. And appropriately, it was with the man who probably more than anyone else epitomizes the blind and shameless hyper partisanship of the mainstream media - Stephen Colbert. Kamala’s comments were ordinary for her. But Colbert made a comment that was utterly ridiculous, even by his standards, and underscores why his show is being cancelled:
“Less than a year ago, things were very joyful. There was, there was actually a lot of hope associated with your campaign, and there was a lot, there was a lot of promise that we might actually not only keep this absolute barbarian out of the White House, but also we might actually make progress as a country.”
If Colbert actually believes there was joy and hope, he wasn’t paying attention. There was very little enthusiasm for Kamala. Most of her votes simply came from Trump haters. She withdrew from the 2020 presidential race before the primaries and caucuses because she was polling less than 1% nationally and only 5th in her home state of California.
I also wonder why Colbert thought we would make progress under a Kamala presidency, as she was simply vowing to continue the failed Biden policies.
The Democrats have often benefited greatly over the last few decades from the support they’ve gotten from the mainstream media. But now that support is backfiring. Trying to cover up Biden’s clear mental incompetence blew up in their faces at the debate, virtually clinching the re-election of the man they hate so much.
Furthermore, all of their actions since the election show that they haven’t learned their lesson. Hopefully they won’t, and hopefully the party will keep self-destructing.
