When Kamala Harris first announced her presidential run after shivving Joe Biden in the back, her campaign wrapped her in bubble wrap and stuck her behind a teleprompter. That hasn’t led to her running away with the race as expected, which means something had to change. What’s changed is the Harris campaign unleashing the vice president in a variety of “un-scripted” interviews with friendly faces.
On Tuesday, she was on “The View,” a setting that should have been impossible to screw up. Harris found a way, though. Her appearance with noted degenerate Howard Stern, who once put on blackface and repeatedly shouted a racial epithet, wasn’t much better.
Then there was “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert. That was supposed to be the crescendo. It ended up being one of the most inauthentic, cringe interviews she’s ever done. Whatever precautions the campaign had taken to that point to hide the true Kamala Harris, it all went out the window with a cackle and some bad jokes.
