‘The View’ co-host describes Harris interview as ‘microcosm of everything that’s wrong’ with Democratic Party

“The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin described former Vice President Kamala Harris’ interview with Stephen Colbert as a “microcosm” of everything that’s wrong with the Democratic Party after its loss in 2024.

“I was struck by, I’m going to try not be too harsh on this. This interview felt like a microcosm of everything that’s wrong with Democrats post-election. I’m going to CBS and this sort of trying to make a point that they fired Stephen Colbert, which many on the left called an attack on democracy, a man who was making $20 million a year, someone I hold in high esteem, but the economics of his show were not working,” Griffin said during an appearance on CNN’s “Table for Five” on Saturday.

CBS announced in July that it would be ending Colbert’s late-night show at the end of the next broadcast season, citing financial reasons.

However, Colbert’s liberal allies believe the cancellation was political, as it came days after he criticized CBS’ parent company, Paramount, for settling with President Trump.

“He was losing $40 million a year. He was in the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is expensive, to talk about the plight of democracy at CBS, a network that’s having its own struggles right now, rather than talking about the economics of the situation and playing to something a shrinking audience that is network television, not realizing it’s not where the American voters are,” Griffin, an anti-Trump Republican who voted for Harris in 2024, continued.

Griffin said Harris’ decision to appear on Colbert was like “announcing your exploratory committee on the sinking deck of the Titanic.”

CNN data analyst Harry Enten dismissed Harris’ comments during the interview about a broken system.

If they ever get the help they so desperately need they’ll start up again right where they left off.

“Someone I hold in high esteem”
That right there is what’s wrong with the party. The man is a leftist POS ,just like 99% of the democrat party. If anyone votes democrat, they must hate America.

A looser describing a looser’s interview with a looser. It’s not exactly prime TV.

It’s like a plane trying to regain altitude throwing crap out to keep from crashing.

Libs turning on each other to keep the lefty plane flying.

It’s going down and nothing they can do to stop it from pole driving into the dirt grave.

It’s a glorious thing to behold

😁

Why Colbert is being cancelled, but The View isn’t?

Colbert is a white guy. Even liberal white males are expendable.
