Republicans don't seem to know how to handle Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris.

In the clip above Daily Show host Jordan Klepper goes through some reactions from key figures, showing clips of an angry Megyn Kelly and Fox News' Judge Jeanine Pirro asking "Who cares?" what actors and singers think, shortly before Klepper immediately plays a slightly older clip of the same Pirro gleefully talking about "The Rock delivering a smackdown on the Biden campaign."

That wasn't the only example of hypocrisy, either. Klepper also plays a clip of Donald Trump's VP running mate JD Vance saying he doesn't think most Americans "are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans."

"Yeah, can you imagine people relating to a celebrity billionaire? Someone who's been on Time magazine or hosted SNL?" says Klepper, showing images of Swift alongside Trump. "I can't imagine anybody being impressed with that. I'm JD Vance, and I have no sense of irony."
