“I was struck by, I\u2019m going to try not be too harsh on this. This interview felt like a microcosm of everything that\u2019s wrong with Democrats post-election. I\u2019m 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,” Griffin said during an appearance on CNN’s “Table for Five” on Saturday.<\/p>\n
CBS announced in July that they would be ending Colbert’s late-night show at the end of the next broadcast season, citing financial reasons. However, Colbert’s liberal allies believe the cancellation was political,<\/a> as it came days after he criticized CBS’ parent company, Paramount, for settling with President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n “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\u2019s 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\u2019s not where the American voters are,” Griffin, an anti-Trump Republican who voted for Harris<\/a> in 2024, continued.<\/p>\n KAMALA HARRIS SCOLDS \u2018PILING ON\u2019 AGAINST JOE BIDEN WHEN ASKED ABOUT SEPARATING HERSELF DURING 2024 CAMPAIGN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin slammed Kamala Harris’ interview on Stephen Colbert’s show on Saturday.\u00a0 (CNN\/TableForFive)<\/p>\n Griffin said Harris decision to appear on Colbert was like “announcing your exploratory committee on the sinking deck of the Titanic.”<\/p>\n CNN data analyst Harry Enten dismissed Harris’ comments during the interview about a broken system<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Recently, I made the decision that I just \u2013 for now, I don\u2019t want to go back in the system. I think it\u2019s broken,” Harris told Colbert after he asked about her declining a potential California gubernatorial run.<\/p>\n “I just can\u2018t possibly believe that someone who was attorney general for a good period of time, a United States senator for a good period of time, and then vice president for four years and then ran for president, all of a sudden believes that the best way to solve it is from being outside the system. Oh, please. Not a chance on God\u2018s green earth that that\u2019s necessarily the case,” Enten said, reacting to Harris’ remarks.\u00a0<\/p>\n CNN PANEL SHREDS HARRIS’ COLBERT INTERVIEW FOR HER LACK OF SOLUTIONS AFTER ‘SIX MONTHS TO FIGURE IT OUT’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “What\u2018s probably going on is she saw what the polling numbers were, perhaps for her running for governor of California. Yes, she has left open the idea that maybe she could run in 2028 for the Democratic nomination. But I\u2018ll tell you Abby, I\u2018ve looked at those numbers. She would be the weakest front-runner since 1992. So the bottom line is this, she is looking at the numbers. She knows what\u2018s cooking. And then all of a sudden, you know what? Actually, this lifelong politician, I want to be outside the system. Give me a break,” the CNN data analyst added.<\/p>\n Harris announced on<\/a> Thursday she would be releasing a book on her failed 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n![\"Alyssa](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/alyssa-farah-griffin-harris-colbert.jpg\")
