It takes quite a bit to make President Joe Biden look good, however Elizabeth Warren on Monday managed to make Individuals glad she tanked within the Democratic main race 4 years in the past.
The Massachusetts senator, probably the most shriekingly annoying determine in American politics this aspect of Hillary Clinton, took to the stage on “The Late Present with Stephen Colbert” and launched into what was nearly definitely a rehearsed routine.
And it’s one her advisers ought to have warned her off.
Test it out right here:
“Earlier than we get into anything to speak about,” Colbert stated, “Taylor Swift received massive on the Grammys final night time. Was that Section 1 of the Democrats’ deep-state plan for the Chiefs …”
“You wager!” Warren interrupted. “And all I can say to Donald Trump is: ‘Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate.’”
That final half was sung, to the refrain of Swift’s 2014 hit “Shake It Off.”
Some background, for the few who could be mystified at this level:
The “joke,” such because it was, was a reference to conspiracy theories making the rounds on social media that the NFL and pop famous person Taylor Swift have plotted to feed publicity surrounding Swift’s romance with Kansas Metropolis Chiefs tight finish Travis Kelce.
The Chiefs’ look within the Tremendous Bowl will maximize the impact of Swift’s endorsement of President Joe Biden (to return at halftime, in keeping with one idea published to X whereas the Chiefs had been nonetheless taking part in within the AFC Championship recreation).
(In addition to his careers as a professional soccer participant and Taylor Swift’s present boyfriend, in fact, Kelce can be a pitchman for Pfizer, the maker of the COVID vaccine and a proud sponsor of Satanic performances. Does anybody assume that’s a coincidence?)
For the document, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday denied being a part of any sort of conspiracy, in keeping with CNN.
“Pay attention, there isn’t a manner that I might have scripted that one, let’s simply put it that manner,” he stated. (However in fact, he would say that.)
Regardless, Warren’s second might need been aimed toward mocking Trump, nevertheless it drew little however mockery for Warren on social media.
The worst half is, I can simply think about her training this within the mirror for the section…

. @SenWarren makes me sick. That clip made me vomit. She’s terrible. Anybody from Massachusetts that votes for this prison in 2024 ought to get their head checked. It’s time we clear up our state and it begins with POS’s like her!

After which there’s one, that sums up the purpose properly:
That politicians co choose celebrities was uncontroversial frequent information earlier than Taylor Swift. Now it’s a conspiracy idea.

Something is feasible, in fact. The truth that a lifelong grifting hack of a politician named Joe Biden is president of the US proves that.
Nonetheless, it’s clearly far-fetched to assume a conspiracy so huge as to repair NFL playoff video games and the Tremendous Bowl might stay beneath wraps for lengthy.
It’s additionally questionable simply how a lot affect a Taylor Swift Tremendous Bowl second for Biden would have. Her public politics — as a lefty follower of lefty tendencies like homosexual, lesbian and transgender issues and climate change — are already well-known, and completely unsurprising, contemplating her social set.
And whereas she and just about the complete movie star/leisure universe lined up in 2020 in opposition to then-President Donald Trump, Swift’s document on political endorsements by herself isn’t precisely sturdy. Her best-known endorsement, Democrat Phil Bredesen within the 2018 Senate race, misplaced by 10 points to Republican Marsha Blackburn.
There’s little doubt Biden would relish a Tremendous Bowl endorsement from Taylor Swift — assuming he hasn’t fallen asleep by then — however there’s an actual query of how a lot impact it will have.
If the US can expertise the unmitigated catastrophe of the previous 4 years of Joe Biden’s presidency and settle for what’s going to nearly definitely be 4 extra years of much more disastrous management based mostly solely on the phrases of a rich pop star who made her fortune writing about her coronary heart being damaged, it deserves what it will get.
If nothing else, the entire course of her profession to this point proves one factor: Taylor Swift has awful style in males.
