Bill Maher suggests that Kamala Harris’s memoir should be titled, ‘Everyone is Awful Except Me’

Bill Maher Critiques Kamala Harris’ Memoir

On a recent episode of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher took a jab at Kamala Harris’ new book, suggesting an alternative title for her narrative as a Democratic presidential candidate in the 2024 elections. While the memoir is called “107 Days,” Maher humorously proposed it should have been titled “Anyone Except Me Smokes,” arguing that “107 Days” portrays her as a victim due to the brief duration of her campaign.

Released in late September, Harris’ book recounts her unusually short run for the presidency, concluding with her defeat against President Donald Trump. Maher pointed out that the memoir lacks accountability, indicating that Harris blames President Biden for not exiting the race sooner in her favor.

In her book, Harris mentions various Democrats, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who attempted to speak on her behalf after Biden’s withdrawal. She shared some anecdotes, including a light-hearted note about Newsom, which alluded to his hiking adventures that he hadn’t actually undertaken. Moreover, Maher remarked that Harris chose not to have Pete Buttigieg as her running mate, believing he was a risky choice due to his sexual orientation.

Maher implied that America wasn’t ready for a different kind of partnership, which left Harris settling for other options. Additionally, in her book, Harris reflects, stating that had she been a straight white man, Buttigieg would have been the ideal candidate. She acknowledged the significant hurdles presented to voters, including her identity as a woman of color married to a Jewish spouse. It seems this awareness added complexity to their mutual aspirations.
