Kamala Harris recently graced the set of Stephen Colbert’s late-night show, a setting that has become a safe space for her to dodge any meaningful interrogation while basking in adoration from the liberal elite. Critics have aptly described this spectacle as a cringe-inducing “slobberfest,” one that serves more as a promotional tool for her floundering campaign than as an opportunity for genuine dialogue. Harris has consistently demonstrated a knack for dodging serious questions; she knows that a late-night talk show is much more forgiving than a real debate stage.
In this latest appearance, Harris showcased her usual rehearsed demeanor, which impresses no one except perhaps Colbert himself. Viewers witnessed an awkward attempt at charm, juxtaposed with patronizing lectures veiled as heartfelt advice. This prancing around questions and disingenuous smiles have become the hallmark of her public appearances. It was hardly unexpected that the dialogue drifted toward hurricane preparedness, a topic where Harris has less credibility than a weather vane in a windstorm. One might expect a vice president to have a firm grasp on disaster response, yet her history is marked by missed opportunities and ineffective leadership during past crises.
In a particularly bizarre segment, Harris attempted to shift the blame for perceived empathy shortcomings onto Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The irony of her critique is thick, considering that she has demonstrated a glaring lack of empathy herself, particularly when it comes to her handling of disaster victims during her tenure. Instead of taking the high road and working collaboratively with DeSantis—a leader recognized for his effective hurricane management—Harris chose to engage in petty squabble, cloaked in faux-concerned platitudes. This is vintage Kamala: always one to play the victim while trying to stir the pot in someone else’s good fortune.
The real kicker in this political charade is the glaring omission of personal accountability. While Harris stands on her soapbox preaching about empathy, one must wonder about the empathy her husband, Doug Emhoff, might deserve. Reports have surfaced regarding Emhoff’s alleged mistreatment of women during his career, painting a picture starkly at odds with Harris’ professed advocacy for abuse victims. Claims from former colleagues describe him as flirty and retaliatory, characteristics that suggest a troubling pattern less consistent with his title of “Second Gentleman.” If the media landscape were fair, one would expect an uproar; but the double standards thriving in today’s political discourse allow such behaviors to fly under the radar if they align with the progressive agenda.

Moreover, the absence of solidarity from Harris regarding her husband’s reported transgressions raises questions about her sincerity. Amid her calls for empathy towards various communities, she remains silent on the alleged experiences of women affected by Emhoff’s behavior. Anyone paying attention might conclude that Harris’ concern for empathy extends only as far as it conveniently fits her political narrative. This hypocrisy could not be more pronounced when viewed through the lens of her political stance on various issues.
It’s clear that before Kamala Harris points fingers and demands empathy from others, she ought to scrutinize her household. The mixed messages around her personal life paired with her political posturing leave many questioning her judgment and authenticity. As issues mount—ranging from hurricane preparedness to her husband’s apparent misconduct—it’s difficult to take her calls for compassion seriously. The question remains: where is her empathy for those actually affected by the policies and behaviors she either supports or overlooks?
