Kamala Says Being Gay or Jewish was a Disqualifier from Being her VP Candidate plus Kimmel BACK on ABC

• Kamala Harris’s Book Revelations

  • Harris reportedly wrote that she considered Pete Buttigieg as her first choice for VP but decided against him because being both a Black woman and having a gay running mate was “too big of a risk” politically.

  • She also considered Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro but claimed his being Jewish, combined with concerns about protests over Gaza, would hurt enthusiasm within the Democratic Party.

  • Critics in the show frame these choices as evidence of hypocrisy in a party that emphasizes “tolerance and inclusion.”

• Reactions to Harris’s Explanations

  • The hosts argue that Harris blamed voter prejudice rather than policy failures for her struggles.

  • They suggest that her remarks expose bigotry within her own party, not among Republicans.

  • Rachel Maddow’s interview with Harris is highlighted, showing tension as Maddow pressed Harris on the “gay VP” issue.

• Jimmy Kimmel Controversy

  • Kimmel allegedly spread misinformation by joking that Charlie Kirk’s killer was a right-wing extremist, when reports indicated the opposite.

  • ABC briefly pulled him, then returned him to air. Cruz and Ferguson critique Kimmel’s credibility, lack of humor, and political bias.

  • They contrast Kimmel with Jon Stewart, whom Cruz admits is funny despite their political differences.
