Kamala Harris has faced difficulty throughout the campaign for her fondness of a bottle or two after (or seemingly before) a hard day’s work.
Republican opponents have pointed to the Vice President as exemplifying alcoholism with slurred speeches, manic cackling and a general odd demeanor during her public appearances. It’s all speculation, of course – but would it really surprise anyone at this point?
Harris’ public reputation for her fondness of alcohol even saw her the subject of a Saturday Night Live sketch, where a brilliantly accurate portrayal mocked her horror at running mate Tim Walz’s school shooter comment at the vice presidential debate.
Determined to prove her opponents wrong, Harris appeared on Late Night with Stephen Colbert earlier this week. Prior to the show, the Democrat reportedly drank a can of Miller High Life, and joked about being drunk during the televised broadcast.
“This is what happens when I drink beer,” Harris reportedly said after calling rival Donald Trump a “loser.” Ironically, Harris works for someone who had to be forced out of the race to avoid certain defeat – also known as a “loser.”
The Vice President’s accusations are comparably heightened given that neither Trump nor President Joe Biden touch alcohol.
Just watch a few of the countless examples of her behavior tomorrow:
Several social media users are convinced that Harris has a drinking problem.
Others were not too concerned about the alleged drinking problem.
