Jon Stewart Reacts to Kamala Harris Candidacy on ‘The Daily Show,’ Notes That Republicans Don’t Know How to Attack Her

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Right wing media and Donald Trump are struggling to figure out how to attack Vice President Kamala Harris, “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart noted on Monday night’s episode.

And perhaps that’s why they keep going back to their typical racist, sexist tropes. Stewart, in his first episode since President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and Harris became the presumptive Democratic candidate played a series of clips where Republican candidate Donald Trump tried out new attacks — to mixed results. “She doesn’t like Jewish people,” he said in one clip — to which Stewart noted, “Join the club, we’re getting crushed out there.

Right now I’m not even sure how much we like ourselves. It’s not like the old ‘Seinfeld’ days when we riding high. You could get a bagel in Iowa.

But of course that attack may ring hollow seeing as Kamala Harris’s husband is — let me check my notes — Jewish. Have anything else that could denigrate all of Kamala Harris’s accomplishments by suggesting it’s merely the power of the Jezebel?” To which he then ran video tape of an unbelievably sexist and offensive Megyn Kelly, accusing Harris of “sleeping her way into politics.” Added Ben Shapiro, in another clip: “She was handed her original posts in California because she was sleeping with Willie Brown.” Of course, Stewart noted that as nasty as those two were, the right-wing pundits are just getting started.
