Tim Dillon: To Hang Kamala Harris’ Defeat on Podcasters Is a Great Excuse for Running an Unpopular Candidate

‘If the idea is me and a few comedians have more power...’

EXCERPT:

DILLON: "But this is very specific circumstance in which Kamala Harris ran for president. She was somewhat unpopular and she was not a star in Democratic politics before this at all. And her communication strategy was pretty weak. I think most people admitted that. So  to hang this defeat all on a few podcast and to say that they were the problem, I never — I don’t buy — I just don’t buy the narrative. I don’t think I’m the new establishment. If you weigh, again, a few comedians with podcast versus all of the people that supported Kamala Harris, you know, Democrat donors, billionaires, big people, if the idea is that me and a few comedians have more power than multibillionaires, huge media institutions, our whole political party apparatus, I just don’t think most people are going to buy that. I think it seems like a great way to excuse running an unpopular candidate on a platform that American people weren’t sold on."
