Bill Maher’s takedown of Kamala Harris on Real Time was merciless and deserved. He mocked the memoir’s victim narrative, suggesting it should have been titled “Everyone Sucks But Me,” and hammered home that in 107 Days nothing, apparently, is ever her fault. Americans watching could sense the outrage of a country tired of elites dodging responsibility while expecting applause.
Harris’s book, 107 Days, was released this fall as a behind-the-scenes account of her short 2024 presidential bid, a campaign that unfolded after Joe Biden exited the race and ended with a resounding defeat. The memoir hit shelves on September 23, 2025, and immediately sparked debate about accountability inside the Democratic Party. Conservatives should pay attention when the narrative is being reshaped to excuse failure rather than confront it.
Maher didn’t mince words about the specifics: he ridiculed Harris for blaming Biden for not stepping aside sooner, mocked the kerfuffle over Gavin Newsom’s noncommittal endorsement, and even laughed at the cupcake “Madam President” scene as proof of premature hubris. These aren’t trivial anecdotes; they reveal a pattern of deflection from the very candidate who led the ticket and accepted the responsibility of campaigning. Voters deserve leaders who own mistakes, not memoirs that turn them into victims.
The irony is stark — Maher pointed out Harris had vast financial and institutional support and yet still flopped, a reality the left’s narrative machines would rather ignore. When a candidate has enormous resources and still falls short, blaming everyone but herself is not humility, it’s rank entitlement. Conservative readers should see this as more evidence that the elite class on the left believes money and identity shield them from consequences.
Worse, the media’s reflexive protectiveness for Democratic figures means too many of these convenient excuses go unchallenged, and Maher even called out colleagues on their silence. If cable and network hosts allow a chorus of self-exoneration to pass without scrutiny, the public ends up with sanitized spin instead of real accountability. It’s time conservative outlets and everyday Americans alike push back harder and demand straight answers.
Despite the defensive tone of the memoir, 107 Days is selling well — proving that media buzz and celebrity status still move units even when the substance is thin. But high sales don’t make a poor campaign strategy successful or a lack of accountability noble; they simply show that the left’s marketing arm is still powerful. Hardworking patriots should judge by results, not by best-seller lists, and keep pressing for leaders who prioritize competence over blame.
