Democrat presidential selectee Kamala Harris continued her whirlwind media tour with a stop at CBS’ Late Show, where she awkwardly sipped a lukewarm beer.
Harris joined Democrat propagandist Stephen Colbert on Tuesday for the cringe-inducing stunt after he claimed voters want a candidate “they can have a beer with.”
“Elections, I think, are won on vibes, because one of the old saws is, ‘Ah, they just want somebody they can have a beer with.’ So, would you like to have a beer with me so I could tell people what that’s like?” Colbert inquired, with a beaming Harris responding enthusiastically.
Colbert next presented two cans of Miller High Life, an American-style lager known to occupy the bottom shelves of convenience stores.
“We asked ahead of time because we can’t just be giving a drink to the Vice President of the United States without asking,” Colbert said, adding, “You asked for Miller High Life.”
“The last time I had beer was at a baseball game with Doug,” Harris claimed, going on to toast Colbert.
“Tastes like the beautiful city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin,” the show’s host said.
“The champagne of beers,” Harris said, reading the can’s label.
The stunt didn’t go over well on social media.

Amidst storm causing Terminal dehydration for our citizens, VP Harris drinks beer with Colbert, laughs, then turns criticism on the public. Disaster management or a new low in leadership? This is the Democratic nominee for you!

My aunt who lives in Pennsylvania watched Kamala Harris on Steven Colbert and is now asking me if she can somehow vote for Biden in the general!

The incident definitely contrasts her with Trump, who’s famously abstinent, recently telling comedian Theo Von that he’s been sober his whole life because his late brother Fred Trump Jr., who died in 1981, frequently discouraged him from smoking and drinking.

Meanwhile, Harris has faced persistent rumors she’s a high-functioning alcoholic.
Just reporting but word is going around that #Kamala is a drunk. 🍺

It’s concerning many in her camp.
In this clip it’s hard NOT to see it. Thoughts? #DNC2024 #DNC pic.twitter.com/Vos9jYPhN7
The bizarre moment was compared to Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass.) awkward livestream beer stunt in 2019.
Can you handle the CRINGE???

Here's Fake Native American Elizabeth Warren pretending to be 'one of us' by robotically drinking a beer.
My Question for you is: Who's more Robotic .. Hillary Clinton or Warren?
Also, where's the POW WOW CHOW in this video ?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #Warren2020 pic.twitter.com/PzYFDnUDUp
Elsewhere in her Colbert interview, Harris was again given the opportunity to distance herself from Biden’s disastrous policies – but instead said the only thing that would change is that she’s “not Joe Biden.”
Colbert just asked Kamala if she would do ANYTHING differently than Biden.

She gives no answer and then serves 60 meaningless seconds of word salad. pic.twitter.com/oIyj4I6saF
She also debuted a new Jamaican accent, at one point blurting, “Have you no empathy, mon?”

One X user pointed out that in a previous Colbert appearance in Aug. 2020 Harris encouraged BLM rioters not to stop.
I know the Kamala was just on Stephen Colbert’s show, but I prefer her appearance on his show in August 2020 when she encouraged the BLM rioters not to stop. pic.twitter.com/oe1jMnk2BQ
