They ditched the eighty-something President. Now they’re obsessing over the coolness of a younger president? Kamala Harris will be 60 in October. It’s now time for the promotional progressive press to lean into how cool Kamala is, that she’s being endorsed by 21-year-old pop stars and will be the cool candidate on Saturday Night Live this fall.
Several networks gushed over Maya Rudolph playing (not mocking) Harris on SNL. CNN’s Dana Bash said she was ‘very, very, excited.’ Her colleague Abby Phillip said Rudolph was coming back “because we need it.” That implies Kamala must be affirmed. SNL is the MSNBC of political satire.
MSNBC host Ari Melber insisted that the comedians were crucial, that impressing young voters with the pop-culture cool vibes could put several states “in play.” Comedian Roy Wood told Phillip on CNN that SNL “during an election year should be required reading in every school in this country. There should be book reports on Monday about what SNL is going to do this fall.” He predicted they would make “mincemeat” out of Trump, along with Jon Stewart and John Oliver.
CNN entertainment reporter Elizabeth Wagmeister gushed earlier that pop star Olivia Rodrigo endorsing Harris was “HUGE.” Rodrigo’s big issue is “reproductive rights,” and at some concerts, she allowed pro-abortion activists to distribute emergency contraceptives, condoms, and information about “abortion access.” Then Team Rodrigo belatedly discovered something obvious: many children attend these concerts, so they pulled up on all the sex stuff.
Later, Wagmeister ripped into J.D. Vance clips talking about “childless cat ladies,” and suggested the biggest childless cat lady of all, Taylor Swift, has yet to endorse. Rodrigo will be nothing compared to Tay-Tay. USA Today even has a reporter whose only job is covering Taylor Swift!
The leftist journalists get upset when Trump talks about her as a biracial woman, but what excites them most about her is she’s a biracial woman. You can’t call her a DEI hire. But the DEI lovers can’t stop loving the DEI potential. They just don’t like you spitting out DEI like it’s DOA. They even tried to turn her cackle into a positive. Why, it has a rhythm like excellent dance songs, exclaimed The Washington Post. The stretching is almost Olympic.
