HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher on Friday ridiculed Kamala Harris’s recent media tour, noting that her interviews occurred at “places where I would say the ass is pre-kissed.”
Harris this week appeared on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and ABC’s The View, where she didn’t need to face tough questions about her policies.
Instead she cracked open a beer with Colbert, cackled away the harpies of The View, and pontificated with Stern about the prospect of another Trump term.
Maher was apparently not too pleased with her performance and pointed out the polling for her was not as good as Joe Biden’s or Hillary Clinton’s was at this point before the election.
“I was mentioning in the monologue, there are some sobering statistics for the Democrats this week about the election, which is only a little over three weeks away. I’m taking this from Andrew Sullivan’s column,” Maher began.
“He says, at this point in 2020, Biden — with far fewer resources than Harris has — was ten points ahead of Trump and in 2016, Hillary was six up, and she is only 2.6 up. Pennsylvania, Biden was up seven at this point, she’s up one. Michigan, Biden was up eight and she’s tied.”
“It does not seem like she is closing the deal. This week, she did a media blitz of — she went on Howard Stern and Stephen Colbert and ‘The View’, places where I would say the ass is pre-kissed,” he added, prompting cheers of agreement from the audience. “Am I wrong? Did that help or hurt?”
Kamala also struggled during a Univision town hall this week, having trouble answering tough questions form the audience about her record.
