Tuesday was a big day for the 2020 presidential campaign.
It's the day that Mike Pence got a brand-new tattoo.
But also, Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris
as his running mate.
And yesterday, Kamala wasted no time
getting into the fight.
NEWSMAN: Harris also signaled
she'll do what vice presidential running mates
usually do-- aggressively attack the other side.
The case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence
is open-and-shut.
His refusal to get testing up and running.
His flip-flopping on social distancing
and wearing masks.
His delusional belief that he knows better than the experts.
All of that is reason...
and the reason that an American dies of COVID-19
every 80 seconds.
Damn. That was brutal.
And you know it probably ruined Trump's day.
(like Trump): Why is Omarosa being so nasty to me?
And why is she friends with Biden?
What happened, folks?
But just as Kamala immediately went on the attack,
conservative media immediately started taking
their own shots at her.
I wouldn't trust Kamala Harris.
I think she's very ambitious.
She's a very mean person. Nobody likes her.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: You have a, uh, sort of a madwoman, I call her,
because she was so angry and so... such hatred
with Justice Kavanaugh.
I mean, I've never seen anything like it.
She seems to come across as a bit abrasive,
as the president mentioned.
I don't know if she can warm things up
and be a little more charming.
I would describe her as, uh...
um, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez,
uh, but smarter and without the bartending experience.
She might look like the full package
but when it comes to people judging her, especially women,
I think they feel there's no warmth there.
Yeah, you know what, Fox News has a really good point here.
Americans always want their leaders to be warm.
I mean, that's why Trump won.
The dude's so warm, he sweats his makeup off.
And I really don't get the criticism
that Kamala is "too ambitious."
I mean, how do you get on a presidential ticket
if you're not ambitious?
What, you think you're gonna be sitting at home on the couch
and then the DNC's gonna come knocking on the door like...
Sir, put down that joint.
We need you in the White House.
But the big question is,
why is it that when female candidates run for office,
the media starts to bring up tropes and stereotypes
that they don't bring up for male candidates?
Well, to help us figure that out,
we're joined by our very own Dulcé Sloan.
Dulcé, first off,
thank you for taking the time to join us today.
Taking the time? Trevor, it's corona.
What else was I using my time for?
Before you called, I was organizing my closet
in alphabetical order.
Blouses, cardigans, dresses...
-You get it. -Wait. What?
Who organizes their closet by alphabet?
Shouldn't you do it by color?
Okay, clearly, you're still suffering
from apartheid thinking, Trevor.
-But I'm free. -Okay, well, either way, Dulcé,
um, I appreciate you.
Because I'm trying to figure out
the media's coverage of Kamala Harris.
Like, what do you make of it?
(sighs) Same bullshit as always, Trevor.
Female candidates get covered less like politicians
and more like Miss Universe contestants.
How does she smile? Does she look good in a dress?
Will Steve Harvey get her name right?
Yeah, but why do you think the media
has this double standard in politics?
Politics?
Negro, this double standard is everywhere.
Have you not been paying attention
to this wet-ass pussy controversy?
Oh, you mean, like, why Kylie Jenner was in the video?
No, ain't nobody talking
about that goofy-ass girl, you silly man.
No, I'm not talking about the song.
I'm talking about why people are talking about the song.
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion
have given us the sex-positive song of the summer
celebrating women owning their sexuality,
something men have been doing since Adam ate that apple
in the Garden of Eden and got his first boner.
Uh, Dulcé,
I don't remember that part in the Bible.
The point is
male musicians talk about sex all the time.
Talking about their hard dicks and skeeting everywhere.
But when women do it, people are like,
"This is vulgar. Inappropriate.
What about the children that look up to them?"
Who cares about them damn children?
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are not your nannies.
I know it 's confusing.
You see two women of color in a really nice house,
and you assume Aiden and Mackenzie
are just off-screen with their Mandarin tutor.
But it's a huge double standard, Trevor.
Okay, Dulcé, but to play devil's advocate,
you have to admit it's a really graphic song.
Trevor, only in a repressed patriarchal society
would people consider a woman's pleasure "graphic."
Men don't have to censor their pleasure.
Drake and Bruno Mars can sing
about eating pussy and getting hard,
but they still get invited to Thanksgiving dinner.
But if Cardi B does it,
she's a slut who's taking down society!
Well, y-you know, there is another thing.
I mean, there's something about rap
that as soon as some white people hear it,
it sounds graphic, you know, just-just because it's rap.
Like, I could be like...
♪ It's really cool to stay in school. ♪
And then some white people would be like,
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down, sir."
You know, so there's always a chance
that the problem wasn't the message
as much as the fact that it's hip-hop.
Okay, first of all, don't ever do that again.
That-that was offensive for a whole different reason.
No, no, I-I was just trying to show, like, like...
♪ Wen you say something with the flow how it goes. ♪
Trevor. No. No. No. Mm-mm.
Whatever it was, stop, okay?
The point is we don't live in a society
that's comfortable with women claiming their sexuality.
It doesn't matter if it's rap or country.
I bet if it was a country music star
that sang the same lyrics,
all these men would still be upset.
I-I don't know. I don't know about that, Dulcé.
Like, I feel like now you're turning it
into, like, a hypothetical argument.
"Oh, uh, what people's reaction would be
if a country music star sang the song."
Like, we-we don't know.
No, you don't know.
But I called my girl Margo Price,
who's a Grammy-nominated country star,
to help me prove my point.
Come on, Margo, take it away.
♪ ♪
♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
♪ Give me everything, everything, everything you got ♪
We'll see how they like that one, Dulcé.
Damn, Dulcé, that was...
that was actually amazing.
I mean, it's still graphic, but that was amazing.
How did you get Margo Price to do that?
You don't know me, Trevor.
You think I spend all day sitting at home,
organizing my closets?
I'm doing things, baby.
Which reminds me,
I got to find something that starts with "G."
Bye!
All right, well, see you later, Dulcé Sloan.
And, Margo Price, I think we've got another hit on our hands.
Thank you so much for that.
