Stephen Colbert roasts Fox News for failed efforts to attack Kamala Harris

Stephen Colbert roasted Fox News after it appeared they wereclutching at straws, in more ways than one, to try to attack Kamala Harris and her newly launched presidential campaign.

On his Wednesday night show, Colbert highlighted the reports that Republican House leaders are having to urge members to stop making race comments about Harris.

“Not great when you have to remind your employees not to do something that everyone knows is wrong,” Colbert said.

“Even Fox News is having trouble coming up with a good attack line against Harris,” the Late Show host added.

“So far, this is the best they got,” then rolled footage from Fox commentators repeatedly bashing Harris over the supposed potential of her banning plastic straws, with Sean Hannity saying he “loves my plastic straw.”

“That’s the best you got?” Colbert mocked. “Really seems like you’re grasping at something, I don’t know what exactly.”

“It does make sense that Fox News would be obsessed with straws. After all… they suck,” he joked.

In 2019, Harris said during a CNN Town Hall that there does need to be a ban on plastic straws, but admitted that there needs to be innovation with the “difficult” paper straws as she thinks we can “do a little better than some of those flimsy” ones.

While Fox tried to challenge Harris’ policies in this particular sector, polls show that Harris has been leading her Republican election rival, Donald Trump, since she entered the presidential race.

Colbert first prefaced that “polls have been wrong all year” and that “polls don’t vote, people do,” then delivered the news that “yesterday, a Reuters-Ipsos poll had Vice President Kamala Harris leading former president Donald Trump 44 to 42.”

Despite what the host said, he let out a huge yell
