Kamala Harris: Sharing Beers and Battles with Colbert
USAWed Oct 09 2024
You might remember Kamala Harris from her presidential campaign. Well, she's back, and this time she's taking a break from serious politics to chat with Stephen Colbert. In a surprising moment, she cracked open a can of Miller High Life, proving she's not your typical politician. Most presidential candidates wouldn't be caught dead drinking a beer on live TV, but Harris is different. She's not afraid to break the mold and have a good time.
But it wasn't all fun and games on The Late Show. Harris had some strong words for Donald Trump. She thinks it's ridiculous that he sent COVID test kits to Vladimir Putin while American citizens struggled to get tested. She believes the American people should be his priority, not foreign leaders.
Harris is on a media blitz, appearing on various shows to connect with voters. She's been criticized for avoiding interviews in the past, but now she's making up for lost time. She's spoken to CBS's 60 Minutes, The View, and even the podcast Call Her Daddy to name a few.
Colbert noted that many voters want a candidate they can relate to, someone they could have a beer with. Harris obliged, raising a can of Miller High Life, which comes from Wisconsin, a key swing state. Colbert tried to get her to name her favorite Bob Seger songs to appeal to Michigan voters, but Harris isn't a big Seger fan. She's more into Aretha Franklin and Eminem.
The interview covered serious topics too. Harris thinks it's crucial to end the conflict between Hamas and Israel as soon as possible. She's met with the families of hostages and those affected by the violence, and she's determined to find a solution.
Harris also commented on reports that Trump had secret phone calls with Putin after leaving office. She believes he gets played by authoritarian leaders because they flatter him. She reminded everyone of the tough times during the pandemic when people were dying every day, and it was hard to get tested.
In a lighter moment, Harris joked about a famous photo from her debate with Trump. When asked what she was thinking, she hinted at a four-letter word starting with 'W' and ending with 'F'. Colbert laughed and said it was accurate. Harris joked that this was what happens when she drinks beer.
