Conservative host shocks with crude comment about Tim Walz ‘fucking’ CNN host’s leg
Ben Shapiro compared potential Vice President Tim Walz to a “very enthusiastic” corgi who would “ride” a CNN anchor’s leg to distract from Kamala Harris’ potential interview gaffes.
The conservative commentator made the uncomfortable contradiction on his program Thursday night ahead of Walz and Harris’ highly anticipated appearance in CNN.
Shapiro, 40, predicted the outing would prove to be a pitfall for the pair, one that would leave the inexperienced Harris in trouble.
He said Walz, in turn, would adopt the simple persona he is known for: “very enthusiastic, but not particularly bright,” Shapiro said.
Shapiro then compared Walz to a dog and joked that he would even “fuck” host Dana Bash to distract him.

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro compared potential Vice President Tim Walz to a “very enthusiastic” corgi on his show on Thursday
The contrast aired ahead of Walz’s expected interview with Kamala Harris on Thursday, which will air on CNN. A still from the interview – Harris’ first – can be seen here
“He’s like a corgi of politics: very eager, but not particularly smart,” Shapiro said of the 60-year-old governor.
‘If the situation threatens to get a little out of hand, for example if a real question is asked, Tim Walz can intervene and start gesticulating wildly with his hands.
“Being a weirdo… That’s going to be really exciting,” he said.
Of Harris, he said: ‘She’s going to need his help because this is the problem.
“Every time she goes off script… she’s a disaster.”
He acknowledged that the race between Harris and Donald Trump is close — even more reason to keep Harris out of the spotlight, he said.
“Harris is already recording that interview today, because they would never have her perform live on camera by herself,” he said of the segment that aired later Thursday night.
He said it would be good for her if her “emotional support dog Tim Walz” were there so she could “pet him and feel good.”
Shapiro, 40, predicted the excursion would prove to be a pitfall for the couple — one that an inexperienced Harris would eventually struggle with. The interview airs at 9 p.m. ET
He said Walz, in turn, would return to the simple persona he had become known for — “very eager, but not particularly bright,” Shapiro said
Shaprio compared that personality to that of a dog and joked that Walz would “fuck” host Dana Bash – seen here – as a distraction
Shapiro made the comparison again when he again discussed Harris’ perceived reluctance to give interviews.
He claimed she took Walz with her to distract attention from her.
It’s amazing, [the] “Democratic media are human jack-of-all-trades,” Shapiro said. “They try to say that this is nothing new.
‘When a presidential candidate chooses a vice president, very often they do a joint interview – Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney did a joint interview, Hillary Clinton – Tim Kaine, it’s pretty common.
The difference is that the person running for president usually has a number of interviews before being nominated.
“Kamala Harris has never given a public interview, before or after her nomination,” Shapiro pointed out.
“The reason she’s bringing Tim Walz is to waste time.”
He added: ‘She’s hoping that the Dana Bash through CNN will make the interview all about their relationship… and how they’re so in tune with each other – how they’re going to work together in the White House and avoid any problems.

“And if there’s a problem, the corgi jumps back up and starts fucking Dana Bash’s leg, presumably,” the conservative joked.
“That’s how this interview – they hope – will go.”
The sit-down interview – announced as ‘The First Interview: Harris & Walz, CNN Exclusive’ – was recorded in Savannah, Georgia.
It will offer a rare glimpse into Harris’s views and plans for the presidency
