Kamala Harris 'Dominated' Bret Baier in Fox News Interview—GOP Speechwriter
Newsweek ^ | October 17, 2024 | Flynn Nicholls

Posted on 10/17/2024 5:55:59 AM PDT by Red Badger

Pete Wehner, a former speechwriter for Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, wrote on X that Kamala Harris "dominated" Fox News host Bret Baier during an interview on Wednesday.

"My take: Bret Baier has rarely looked as bad (or tendentious) as he did in his interview with Kamala Harris," Wehner wrote on X. "On the flip side, this was one of her best interviews. She dominated Bret. All in all it was quite a bad day for MAGA world's most important media outlet," Wehner posted on X

Harris and Baier shared a combative 30-minute exchange in her first formal interview on the right-leaning network, in an outreach to conservative or independent voters in the closing weeks of the election. Baier grilled her on the Biden administration's handling of immigration, the Middle East and the economy.

The exchanges grew especially heated on topics such as immigration. Baier repeatedly pressed Harris on the Biden administration's reversal of restrictive Trump-era policies, to which she responded by blaming Republicans for blocking a bipartisan immigration bill, which Trump encouraged Senators to vote down in February.

When discussing the economy and Biden's record, Harris pushed back, asking Baier to conduct a "conversation grounded in full assessment of the facts."

Bret (teddy the) Baer knows who are powerful and who not to fear. Bret has no qualms criticizing republicans.

Always remember that the fascists are the ones to project.
Bret is afraid to call them what they are. He is even afraid to do a real pressing interview

The interview speaks for itself. You can’t lose your cool during an interview.

Must have seen a different interview than I did. Kamala Harris only managed to talk over Baier more, so she dominated in that way. But she never answered one question...I agree with him that Baier was not as obnoxious as the liberal questioners on CNN, ABC, MSNBC, etc.

Proof (as if needed) why Newsweek is so irrelevant. And let us remember, that writer actually got a boxtop degree from some university that used to be respected.

I am sorry, but did we watch the same interview?

I am not a fan of Bret, but I think he did quite well. He didn’t lose his cool and she did. As potential Commander in Chief she looked really bad.

The only way she dominated was by providing absolutely ...no answers.

Pete Wehner, a former speechwriter for Ronald Reagan... One word: Peggy Noonan. Apparently Reagan’s speech writers haven’t aged well.

I guess sociopath Wehner didn’t get the memo that Bret “ambushed” Harris. The spin game goes on.

Dear Pete Wehner:

Obviously, you weren’t watching what the rest of us saw.

I read somewhere Karl Rove was theorizing how Tim Walz could have done better against Vance. If only Walz could have hired Rove as a consultant.

I kept hearing “Let me finish....let me finish...”. Still waiting for an answer. She did respond to everything. With ‘kamalaisms’.

More propaganda from Newsweek. S/b called Newsweak or Newsmeek or Newswreak. I sort of like Newswreak.
