After weeks of dodging real interviews and refusing a debate on Fox News, Kamala Harris sat for an interview with Bret Baier. Her handlers saw that she was sinking in the polls with her basement dwelling strategy, and she is now in a mad scramble for interviews anywhere. It didn't go well.
It started with her arriving 15 minutes late for an agreed upon 30-minute interview beginning at 5 pm. Her handlers then insisted on truncating the interview time to 20 minutes, almost certainly because of their fear of a train wreck.
Which happened anyway.
Harris was combative - the dog whistle word of the day was "testy."
Yes, she was testy. She was testy because that darned Bret Baier wanted her to actually answer the questions he asked.
Baier tried asking about her policy reversals
Baier: “In 2019, you supported allowing illegals to apply for drivers' licenses, qualify for free tuition at universities, and get free healthcare. Do you still support those things?”It wasn't going to get any better. Virtually every question was met with the same deflecting rejoinder- "Donald Trump...."KAMALA: “That was five years ago”
Baier asked about the number of illegals Biden/Harris has invited in:
The 26-minute interview with the Democratic nominee kicked off with a tense grilling by Baier on immigration policy — with Harris repeatedly refusing to say that terminating former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy was a mistake.Baier didn't biteBaier’s first question schooled Harris about the effects of the current administration’s more permissive policies, which allow many illegal border-crossers to await asylum rulings inside the US, before asking how many migrants had been allowed into the US after crossing illegally.
When Harris declined to offer a figure, Baier said that “it’s a rough estimate of 6 million people released into the country” before pressing her: “Looking back, do you regret the decision to terminate ‘Remain in Mexico’ at the beginning of your administration?”
Harris began to deploy standard campaign-trail talking points, insisting that the administration’s “first bill, practically within hours of taking the oath, was a bill to fix our immigration system.”
Baier interjected that “it was essentially a pathway to citizenship” for illegal immigrants already in the country.Harris told Baier to stop interrupting her while she was not answering his questions.
“May I finish responding, please? But you have to let me finish, please,” the veep said sternly.Oddly, she said that Joe Biden was just fine“You had the White House and the House and the Senate and they didn’t bring up that bill,” Baier said.
“I’m in the middle to responding to the point that you’re raising and I’d like to finish,” she reprimanded. “We recognized from day one … it is a priority for us as a nation … and our focus has been on fixing a problem.”

“Full of Trump Blame”
Just picking up where taterhead left off
Keeping the above in your mind, re-watch the interview with Bret. It's a lot more "understandable" the second time.
Misread deflective as defective. Fits.
BTTT
I can’t watch things like this.
My anxiety and/or anger goes through the roof.
Even with a xanax :)
At 56, I learned some things might not be totally fixable so no point in suffering :)
I’m glad she was a disaster though
During the entire interview I kept thinking that it would be horrible to work for this clown or, worse yet, be married to her. Her true colors were unfurled for the world to see and they are very grim for sure.
FTA——Oddly, Harris told Baier that Joe Biden was “just fine.”
Baier: “You told many interviewers that Joe Biden was on his game [and] ran circles around his staff. When did you first notice that President Biden’s mental faculties appeared diminished?”
Harris deflected the premise of the question and insisted that “Joe Biden is not on the ballot.” She notably, however, took great care to assert that Biden is competent to remain in office. “Joe Biden, I have watched in – from the Oval Office to the situation room, and he has the judgment and experience to do exactly what he has done in making very important decisions on behalf of the American people,” she insisted.
Baier persisted and pushed back, asking “I understand you met with him at least once a week for three and a half years. You didn’t have any concerns?” Harris then went to her canned answer: “I think the American people have a concern about Donald Trump.”
Baier never got to ask WHY Biden would step down if he was really just fine.
What balderdash she spews. For voters, this calls
into question her judgment or her honesty.
Reality check.
She only got to run after Biden’s debate debacle when nervous Democrats staged a coup to remove him. She stood to get the $100 million campaign war chest b/c only hers and Biden’s names were on the official FEC filings.
She is desperate to hide the coverup. No question,
she covered-up Biden’s diminished mental capacity.
Harris’ game was then, and is now, to bamboozle the very voters she’s now trying to win.
Being a victim gets votes in the dimrat world. No one there is ever responsible or accountable for their actions.
She clearly didn't want to be there.
Look at her body language. Arms and legs crossed while facing Brett. She was on the defensive and subconsciously sending rejection signals.
Harris clearly has a problem with testes.

That’s hysterical.
Harris, like the typical Marxist liar that she is and always has been, engages in 1984-level doublespeak. On one hand, when previously asked what she would change from the Biden administration policies on The View, she stated “clearly” that she would not change a thing. Of course, she was lying.
And then, in the Baier interview, she claims that “Joe Biden is not on the ballot”. Well, if you wouldn’t change a thing from four years of Biden policies... how the hell are the Biden policies not “still on the ballot”.
Leftist have no honesty, no self-awareness and no logic. And no shame about lying their proverbial @’s off at all times. And those are their ‘good’ qualities.
Harris’s previous lie... when we all know that she would double down on any and all unconstitutional Biden policies.
““There is not a thing that comes to mind,” Harris said. “I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.””
Does anyone know how many times she/they said Donald Trump in 26 minutes?
Is she running for president — or does she just want to be “Boss?”
Some people don’t want to do the work and have any responsibilities — but just want to “be in charge,” and tell everybody else what to do. That’s the sense one gets watching her interviews: she’s only there to tell the other what to think, and not answer any questions, and take any responsibility — for anything.
That’s why she can’t keep staff. They soon grow tired of the power trips — to reassert her dominance at the top of the pyramid — at every opportunity. If she had to debase and humiliate herself to get to the top, dog gone it, that’s what everybody around her will have to do — if they want to keep their jobs.
But what should we expect from her? How dare we ask! Have we ever encountered such people before? Is that the person we want for president?
