Kamala Ghosts Biden, Comedian’s Trump Rally Controversy, Michelle Obama Berates Men

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack the friction between Joe Biden’s offer to campaign for Kamala Harris and the Harris team's resistance, the potential fallout of a comedian's controversial comments at the Trump rally, and Michelle Obama's unpersuasive scolding of men who won't vote for Harris.

First, after briefly lamenting how their NFL teams squandered late leads on Sunday, they enjoy the Harris campaign's never-ending awkwardness over Joe Biden. Harris can't think of a thing she would have done differently than Biden but insists she'll be different. Now, as Biden wants to hit the campaign trail for Kamala, her advisers want nothing to do with him.

Next, Jim and Greg analyze comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s controversial jokes at a Trump rally in New York City. From comments on Puerto Ricans, Latinos, and black people, they discuss the backlash and potential fallout. With the media spotlight on these remarks, they explore how this could affect close races like the U.S. Senate seat in Florida, where GOP Sen. Rick Scott strongly condemned the jokes.

Next, they discuss the controversy over jokes comedian Tony Hinchcliffe told Sunday at the Trump rally in New York City about Puerto Ricans, Latinos, and black people. Jim unloads on Hinchcliffe and also the Trump campaign for allowing the material. They also discuss the potential impact of the media heavily spotlighting these comments and whether it could impact tight elections like the U.S. Senate race in Florida, given the fierce denunciation from GOP Sen. Rick Scott.

Finally, they slam the Harris campaign for its abortion obsession over the final days of the campaign. And Jim rips former First Lady Michelle Obama for scolding men with lines like, "Are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them you supported this assault on our safety?" Jim also points out the Obamas' constant and tiresome disappointment with the American people.
