The announcement of Kamala Harris’ upcoming interview with Stephen Colbert clearly showcases the disconnect many blue-collar Americans, particularly those over 60, feel towards the political elite and mainstream media. Here we have a twice-failed presidential candidate, now a former Vice President, seeking to regain relevance by aligning with a late-night show known for its disdain for traditional values and hardworking individuals.
For many older Americans, the idea of Harris sitting down for an interview—and her apparent desire to launch a third bid for the presidency—might evoke frustration and disbelief. This sentiment is rooted in the belief that these political figures are out of touch with the daily realities of life. While hardworking Americans focus on providing for their families, saving for retirement, and planning for their futures, leaders like Harris appear more concerned with self-promotion and political maneuvering rather than genuine engagement with the needs of the people.
Adding to this sense of frustration is the backdrop of media outlets like CBS, which have shown their willingness to manipulate narratives to protect political allies. The recent history of the media’s treatment of President Trump, compared to Harris, highlights a significant bias that continues to alienate many patriotic Americans. Furthermore, the biting language used by Colbert in reference to Trump reflects a broader pattern of belittling and mocking conservative figures, further deepening the divide between the political class and everyday citizens.
For an audience that values hard work, loyalty, and the American spirit, Harris’ upcoming interview feels like a charade rather than an opportunity for meaningful conversation. It represents a political system and media landscape that often prioritize sensationalism over substance. With her plans to “help elect Democrats across the nation,” it seems that instead of accepting responsibility for past failures, Harris is doubling down on a political agenda that many hardworking Americans firmly oppose.
This interview is unlikely to provide any redemption or clarity; it serves as a reminder of how disconnected these politicians can be from the very people they claim to represent. As the countdown to the 2024 elections continues, the need for true representation—leaders who understand and genuinely care about the struggles of every American—has never been more evident. For now, we watch as this spectacle unfolds, knowing that the real concerns of Americans remain far from the spotlight.
