Meghan Markle, Marco Rubio and Ben Meiselas
Sam Bee jokes she’s the “Chief Content Officer of Lauren Boebert’s spray tan” before diving into Trump’s speech, which Coles calls “magnificent television” but warns he’s entering his “Castro phase” of seven-hour speeches. Bee slams Republicans as “half too dumb to pound sand,” while Coles dubs Usha Vance a “mini clapper.” They torch Meghan Markle’s Netflix show—“It’s an Instagram feed, not a show”—and question sprinkling flowers on donuts.
