One of the people Vice President Kamala Harris might want to thank in her victory speech, if she wins the election, is Fox News anchor Bret Baier. His combative interview Wednesday gave Harris the chance to display qualities — and present facts — that Donald Trump desperately wants to keep hidden from the network’s millions of viewers.
Don’t take it from me; take it from Baier himself. He said afterward that he thought Harris came to the interview seeking “a viral moment” and added: “I think she may have gotten that.”
Baier was surely referring to the exchange about Trump’s repeated threat to deploy the U.S. military against domestic critics he calls “the enemy within” — using the language of totalitarian despots. Baier presented a too-brief clip from a town hall event, aired on Fox earlier Wednesday, in which Trump denied saying any such thing. This was gaslighting: A slightly longer clip would have shown Trump railing against “the enemy from within” and naming two leading Democrats, Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, as being part of that “sick” group.
Baier obviously knew that — and Harris called him on it.
“Bret, I’m sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the ‘enemy within,’ that he has repeated. … That’s not what you just showed,” Harris said forcefully. “Here’s the bottom line: He has repeated it many times, and you and I both know that. And you and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.”

“gave Harris the chance to display qualities — and present facts —”
At least they got that part right. Unfortunately for Harris and WaPo, she failed greatly in that the qualities she displayed were horrendous and she skipped over the facts part altogether.
Right - she basically said everyone else is powerless if Donald Trump merely writes stuff on social media.
Eugene Robinson is another propagandist for WaPo who lives and invents lies in Bizarro World ...
What a stinking pantsload💩💩💩☹️
Eugene Robinson of the WaPo is trying to put lipstick on a pig.
The clips I saw of that interview made Kamala look like a clueless shrew, mindlessly blaming Trump for the disaster that has been the last three and three-quarters years.
Must not have watched the same interview I did; Harris was rude and kept talking over Baeir, didn’t answer any questions, just kept bringing up Trump. Did not take responsibility for ANYTHING that failed in her and Biden’s administration, just kept weirdly invoking Trump as an answer to near!y every question, when clearly, an actual answer would have nothing to do with Trump. Bizarre.
“And when DID Kamala first observe Joe Biden’s mental decline?”
Never. To recognize it she would have to have a mental capacity higher than his.
Really Eugene? Just ask yourself- which candidate will be using clips from this interview in their last campaign commercials?
Absolute YEP!
Washington ComPost. They must have hired that idiot James Carvel to write their “news”.
