That Fox News Interview May Have Done To Kamala What The Debate Did To Biden
The Federalist ^ | October 16, 2024 | Eddie Scarry

There’s no longer any denying that she’s a mindless, superficial candidate who instills no confidence.

===================================================================

What happened Wednesday night to Kamala Harris on Fox News may have been the equivalent to what happened to President Joe Biden at that infamous debate in June — irreparably exposed her as unacceptable to voters.

In what was widely seen as a Hail Mary move by Kamala’s campaign, the vice president agreed to an extended interview on Fox News, one of the exceedingly few national TV interviews she’s done since she was anointed the Democrat Party’s post-Biden nominee. Remarkably, she offered nothing new in terms of her weak, often confusing answers to obvious questions, but she did finally face probing lines of inquiry and necessary follow-up when time after time she attempted to change the subject from her performance in the White House to attacks on Donald Trump.

The entire interview was tense, an obvious effort by “Special Report” anchor Bret Baier to wring direct answers out of Kamala on questions that for months she has responded to with professions of her “middle-class family,” and her delight in the “ambitions,” “dreams” and “aspirations” of Americans. She was visibly upset and exasperated by the countless interruptions and redirections, but only because until then she had faced none.

The most plain and self-evident questions a person would have for Kamala are why she’s campaigning as though she’s not currently in the White House; how her administration would be recognizably different from the one in which she serves right now; and when did she decide to take the exact opposite position on several major policy issues from what she held in the very recent past?

Baier asked them all and Kamala each and every time changed the subject to Trump. To his immense credit, Baier put in an exhaustive effort to keep her in focus, to which Kamala grew visibly frustrated. You could see it in her body language and hear it in her voice that she was at a loss for words because she has no answers that, if she were honest, wouldn’t immediately disqualify her from the campaign.

It was genuinely difficult to watch, and not because it was contentious but because you almost had to feel sorry for her. It was a sense of pity as was the same for Biden during that debate. There was nothing unusual or unfair about the event that revealed the president to be a decrepit and impaired senior citizen. It was simply the moment nobody could deny the obvious any longer.

That’s probably what just happened to Kamala. There’s no longer any denying that she’s a mindless, superficial candidate who in that interview instilled no confidence that she has the vision or aptitude to lead the world’s strongest military and biggest economy.

That witch kept pulling that sane “let me be perfectly clear” and “let me finish” crap that she pulled on Mike Pence.

She still refuses to give a straight answer to anything. She is disgusting to even watch.

Unfortunately the electorate has been credibly accused of being illiterate and stupid to the bone, so she could still win the popular vote...
and the Dem party, likewise, corrupt to the bone, she could still “win” the most electoral votes.
And then what? *crickets*

Sorry, I’m physically, spiritually and emotionally incapable of feeling sorry for Kamala.

Blithering Idiot is more like it. A vote for her is a vote for the demise of nation.

Exactly. This wasn't an "ambush". She was just asked questions that--by now!--she should've been able to answer. But she couldn't, and the real Kamala came out.

If she had the same kind of professors that I recall hearing about on MY campus, then THAT explains how SHE got through college!

My impression (FWIW) is that Kamalamadingdong’s rant will be viewed by her side as a show of strength that would leave even Vladimir Putin quaking in his boots. So, she won’t lose much from the left. But her anger came off as disjointed and unhinged to more centrist and right of center voters.

If it had been Trump visibly fuming and shaking like that, the left would be ecstatic.

Fox panel was mixed afterwards with Harold Ford saying she did pretty well. Panel’s biggest takeaway was that she should have been doing interviews like this the whole time. It was awful. Just awful. But that’s not going to stop dems as spinning it as a great job by a dem standing up to big, bad, evil fox.

At times, Brett seemed like a meek, scolded little student.

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

“… you almost had to feel sorry for her. It was a sense of pity…”

In WHAT alternate bizarre universe????

She got a well-deserved grilling - by a Man, yet - and folded faster than cheap lawn furniture.

If she were interviewing for a cashier's job, maybe. But not when she would be in a position to impact my life.
