A co-host of The View and former supporter of Kamala Harris explained how the vice president made a major mistake by appearing on the late night show of Trump’s biggest hater: Stephen Colbert.
Alyssa Farah Griffin torched Harris’ recent interview with Colbert — whose controversial show has been canceled — as emblematic of the Democratic Party’s failure to learn from its 2024 defeat.
‘This interview felt like a microcosm of everything that’s wrong with Democrats post-election,’ Griffin declared Saturday on CNN, referencing Harris’s sit-down with Stephen Colbert to promote her new book.
‘It’s like announcing your exploratory committee on the sinking deck of the Titanic.’
Griffin, a former Trump administration official who crossed party lines to vote for Harris in 2024, didn’t hold back as she dismantled the Vice President’s comeback strategy.
She slammed the party’s messaging on democracy, and accused Democrats of being tone-deaf to the voters they’ve lost.
Harris, who has kept a low profile since her crushing loss in the 2024 election, reemerged in a sit-down interview to promote her upcoming book 107 Days, documenting what she called ‘the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.’
But the decision to appear on CBS, the very network that just canceled Colbert’s show, seemed to raise more eyebrows than applause.

Harris, who has kept a low profile since her crushing loss in the 2024 election, reemerged in a sit-down interview with Stephen Colbert to promote her upcoming book 107 Days, documenting what she called ‘the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.’
‘I was struck by… I’m going to try not to be too harsh on this,’ Griffin started.
‘I’m going to CBS and this sort of trying to make a point that they fired Stephen Colbert, which many on the left called an attack on democracy – a man who was making $20 million a year, someone I hold in high esteem – but the economics of his show were not working.’
CBS announced in July that it was ending The Late Show next May citing financial losses. But Colbert’s allies on the left allege his firing was politically motivated, coming just days after he criticized CBS parent company Paramount for its legal settlement with Donald Trump.
But Griffin wasn’t buying the narrative.
‘If everyone who was advising her told her this was a good idea… that is not where I would have made the grand comeback,’ she said.
‘He was losing $40 million a year. He was in the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is expensive, to talk about the plight of democracy at CBS, a network that’s having its own struggles right now, rather than talking about the economics of the situation, and playing to something – a shrinking audience that is network television, not realizing it’s not where the American voters are.’
During Thursday night’s interview Harris suggested that she had no current plans to run for governor of California.
‘Recently, I made the decision that I just – for now, I don’t want to go back in the system. I think it’s broken.’

The former vice president reflected on her failing campaign as ‘the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.’ Harris wrote on social media announcing her book as a ‘behind-the-scenes look’ at her campaign
But CNN data analyst Harry Enten called foul.
‘Oh, please. Not a chance on God’s green earth that that’s necessarily the case,’ Enten said, adding that Harris is ‘looking at the numbers’ and seeing just how grim they are.
‘She would be the weakest front-runner since 1992.’
Griffin echoed such skepticism saying Harris’ comments about democracy and the ‘broken system’ reeked of desperation.
‘I think she genuinely believes what she’s saying about the threats to democracy — I had, I raised concerns ahead of the election, some of which I share with her. But I also think that Democrats can go too far in these concerns,’ Griffin said.
‘Every time I hear something like Stephen Colbert losing his job as a threat to democracy, that makes people just roll their eyes.’
Griffin’s critique didn’t stop there. She hammered Democrats for failing to adapt to the new political climate, saying Harris’ rhetoric ignores why Donald Trump’s message still resonates with millions.
‘Donald Trump did talk about abolishing the Department of Education. He was open about what he was going to do. And the fact that Democrats couldn’t listen to the American public and think, “Okay, something he’s saying is resonating. What can we do to beat him?” – that’s where I kind of, they lose it for me.’

Harris’ new book, 107 Days, set for release in September, is expected to detail her short-lived presidential run and offer lessons learned.
In a video posted to social media, Harris framed the memoir as a path forward.
“I believe there’s value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what I know it will take to move forward,” she said.
But with polling showing her approval ratings near historic lows and Democrats still reeling from their 2024 defeat, critics argue Harris may be the wrong messenger at the wrong time.
