Rep. John James Responds To Late-Night Comedian's Joke

Rep. John James was jokingly compared to a Taco Bell menu item on a late-night show.

During a recent late-night comedy show, Rep. John James, R-Mich., was the subject of a light-hearted joke regarding a line from his speech at the Republican National Convention. The comedian, while discussing the RNC, playfully poked fun at James' statement by contrasting it with a humorous reference to a Taco Bell menu item.

In the clip shown during the show, James was heard saying, 'America’s the greatest idea there’s ever been.' The comedian quipped, 'Greatest idea? Someone obviously hasn’t tried the Taco Bell Big Cheez-It Crunch Wrap Supreme. That’s a good idea,' eliciting laughter from the audience.

In response to the joke, James took the opportunity to showcase his sense of humor by posting a video of himself trying the Taco Bell Big Cheez-It Crunch Wrap Supreme for the first time outside a local Taco Bell. In a light-hearted tone, James acknowledged the comedian's jest by stating, 'Touché @StephenAtHome. Tried it... wouldn't go to war for it.'

The exchange between James and the late-night comedian highlights the lighthearted nature of political discourse and the ability to find common ground through humor. It also showcases James' willingness to engage in playful banter and not take himself too seriously.
