It never was
Kamala Harris’s communications team is top notch. Tuesday’s headlines about Donald Trump secretly sending COVID-19 testing equipment to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use (amidst test shortages here) became an attack ad before Harris appeared last night with Stephen Colbert.
For those not glued to social media, Harris herself drove home the message on “The Late Show.” Trump thinks Putin is his friend.
“What about the American people? They should be your first friend.” Harris responded.
Trump has not had a good week. Little Lord Flauntleroy has gotten away his entire life with spouting bald-faced lies. A conman at heart, he trades in bullshit in place of facts he’s never possessed the bandwidth to master. Sychophants — people like Speaker Mike Johnson even — smile and nod and parrot what he says without blinking. But now there’s blood in the water. Even Laura Ingraham of Fox News is fact-checking Trump to his face. He cannot abide being called out for his lies. Unfair. UNFAIR!
Afraid to face fact-checking by CBS News, Trump chickened out of his scheduled and “60 Minutes” interview. Scott Pelley explained on air why Harris would get the national air time that Trump rejected.
Colbert last night told his viewers rather bluntly why Harris would appear on his show but not Trump.
Saving you some trouble, here are some clips.
One has to wonder how many prior MAGA voters are figuring out after all these years that, like Putin not being Donald’s friend, Donald is not theirs. We’ll have to wait until Nov. 5 to find out.
