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.”

And when DID Kamala first observe Joe Biden’s mental decline?

Put the crack pipe down, Eugene. You’re doing damage to what little is left of your brain.

Baier didn’t even ask her which one of her parents were naturalized citizens at the time of her birth.

Typical blather from Eugene Robinson. I wonder if he really believes what he is writing.

Her “viral moment” was the attack on Trump. Said Trump 21 times in 27 minutes

They live in a separate universe.

It sure seems so.
This is just one of many examples. I don't mind if people have different opinions regarding the best economic practices (socialism vs capitalism, tariffs vs complete free trade, etc) - even though I think some of the choices are patently and obviously wrong, but people can hold different opinions. But the differences now are otherworldly:
Open borders, and inviting open criminals into our country (and giving them taxpayer funded stipends), not caring about blatant children trafficking, not caring about our election process (and allowing non-citizens to vote); ... is just insane. We are from different planets.
Also not caring that an Alzheimer poster boy was pretending to be President, and has been replaced (by a house coupe) by another nitwit ... is also bizarre. It will take God's hand to turn things around - because there are apparently a lot of unstable people voting.

Robinson is an idiot.

I’ve talked to even Harris supporters, and they hung their heads in sadness.

I am curious:

The sneaky, slimy, Newsmax Contributor, Mark Heilpern, who ALWAYS ENDS HIS INTETVIEW WITH...BAD, BAD NEWS. He is so predictable, claims THERE WILL BE TROUBLE IF TRUMP WINS.

My curiosity is...WHAT DEMOGRAPHIC WAS TREATED BADLY DURING TRUMP’S PRESIDENTCY? ALL I CAN THINK OF ...THE LOONEY BINS WHO WERE NOT IN POWER...OH, HOW THEY MISSED THAT ...POWER.

WELL, LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT. LOSS OF POWER THAT IS AND FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
