The last time CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed former Vice President Kamala Harris to The Late Show, the two had a grand old time drinking beers and looking forward to her presidency. On Thursday, the mood was very different. Harris is now a failed presidential candidate, and Colbert is an outgoing host, but for the next ten months, he is still the host of Late Night DNC, and therefore he invited Harris to promote her new book and say “I told you so” about the “absolute barbarian” that supposedly is President Trump.
Colbert simultaneously gushed and mourned over Harris’s diagnosis of the current reality, “I have to say as someone who is very qualified for the presidency, a senator, attorney general of California, a vice president of the United States, and then a very hopeful and dynamic presidential candidate for the 107 days you had to run, to hear you say that it's broken, to hear you say that our systems aren't strong enough is harrowing.”
According to Harris, such a description is obvious, “Well, but it's also evident, isn't it?” Colbert agreed, “I mean, there's almost no curse word bad enough.”
