Harris ought to send Bret Baier flowers for that Fox News interview
The Washington Post ^ | October 17, 2024 | Eugene Robinson

Posted on 10/17/2024 5:37:26 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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.”

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Kamala is coherent.

Only a complete idiot like Eugen Robinson could conclude that Baier was talking about anything other than Commie-La's absolute implosion.

Somebody's gotta be at the far left end of 'the bell-curve' or they wouldn't call it that.

Congrats Eugene.

Democrats, also known as communists, are the enemy from within. They have taken control everywhere: academia, MSM, Hollywood, corporations and federal, state and local government. Democrats are fanatical followers of the Chinese Communist Party

Desperate spin.

The Kamala campaign now seems to think that being an angry, finger-pointing bitch is a good look & strategy going forward.

Pretty sure we’ve reached the point where there’s no point to read election articles.
The bs is piled high as an elephant’s eye.

And I think people are tuning it out at this point.

I wonder if old Bluegums has ever been called a Democrat Party step-n-fetch it to his face?

If Donald Trump offering contrary views for a decade caused the World to fall apart, how does her Election change anything?

She claims his Tweets and commentary for a “decade” is the downfall of the country. He’ll still be able to tweet and offer opinions if the She-Marxist sits in the throne.

For 2 years, Dems had the House, Senate, and White House. Kamala wanted to eradicate ICE, defund Police, and she selected a VP that wants to do the same.

Kumala done run off the tracks. If her squad is waving their arms signaling a surrender/stop of the battle then she did not win.

These MKERS can have it both ways because they’re never held accountable. But very soon we’re gonna stump on the snakes! Can’t wait to see the tears rolling down their cheeks on election night…It’s going to be glorious! I purposely saved some fireworks to shoot off in celebration and honor of our next 47th president of the United States Donald J Trump!! 🧨 and 🍾 what better way to celebrate a second chance granted by God for our nation. It’s going to be glorious!🙏🏻
