The PR Fallout of the Kamala Harris FOX News Interview
PJ Media ^ | October 16, 2024 | Scott Pinsker

Yikes. If Kamala Harris thought Bret Baier was tough, wait ‘til she meets Putin.

During the interview on Fox News's "Special Report," the Harris-Walz campaign found itself mired in a deliciously ironic situation: Their entire marketing campaign is predicated on the conceit that they’re Not Trump. Whether it’s Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or Tim Walz, the Democrats’ raison d’etre is that Trump is an evil Orange Madman who’ll destroy democracy, and (checks mirror) they’re Not Trump.

In other words, they’re not asking the American people to vote FOR the Democrats. They’re begging them to vote AGAINST the Republicans.

From a marketing perspective, there’s nothing wrong with that approach. Lots of products differentiate themselves via comparison. When it’s done well, “comparison campaigns” can ring registers: Remember Apple’s “I’m a Mac!” and “I’m a (dorky) P.C.” ads?

Apple gave audiences a binary choice: Do you wanna be the cool guy in slacks and nice hair (Mac) osr do you wanna be that yutz in an ill-fitting brown suit? It’s gotta be one or the other.

But when you live by comparison, you die by comparison.

During today’s Fox News interview with Bret Baier and Kamala Harris, only two people were on the screen. And none of them were Donald Trump.

“Not Trump” wasn’t in the building.

It was just Bret Baier and Kamala Harris. Nobody else. Viewers couldn’t help but compare the two.

Bret Baier is soft-spoken (and sort of looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid who made a wish to be big). He’s a sweetheart! A perfect gentleman. Couldn’t imagine a nicer, more genteel guy.

And Kamala Harris?

It wasn’t just that she was rude, unsteady and off-putting. And it wasn’t that she’s absolutely incapable of improvising answers — when she’s not 100% reciting a script, she flounders about like ...

Trumps refusal to debate her again was very smart because it smoked her out of the rigged debate format, exposing her.

Question for Madam Vice President Harris: How many Xanax did it take for you to keep from bawling during your limousine ride from the Fox News interview with Bret Baer?

At the end of the day she’s simply just not very bright.....and yesterday was just more conformation of that fact.

She is a lot like barry.
Dangerous combination of arrogance and ignorance.

No wonder barry picked her.

Sounds like a mirror image of the Stupid Party platform pre-2016.

I hear after Harris’ Fox interview, Barry called Biden,
saying, “Start packing and destroy all the evidence,”

She actually believes she can hide behind that amnesty bill is why the border invasion happened. Thought she loved border invasions.

The bigger question is how many Xanax did Rove and Ryan take after that disaster?

Sorry, we may not like Barry Obama. But the guy was very charasmatic. Just like Clinton and Reagan.
The women loved Barry. Just like they fell for “I feel your pain”.
The Black women literally thought he was the Messiah. That he was going to pay their rent.

Barry was great behind the Teleprompter. He was lost without it. The only thing he really knew well was sports. He watched Sportscenter every night according to SS.

Here is what I saw.

1. A very nervous vice president.

2. A vice president whose brain team had anticipated every question.

3. A vice president who was able to repeat prepared responses to anticipated questions.

So far, so good.

The most damning thing was that having anticipated hard questions, the vice president’s brain team over a period of weeks could not script answers that would make their candidate look good. Instead, the brain team decided it was in their candidate’s best interest to forego having her say positive things about her record and to claim Trump had been in charge for the last decade.

The result was she looked like a silly woman and a dishonest one as well.
