Team Harris Knows the Fox News Interview Was a Disaster
PJ Media ^ | October 17, 2024 | Matt Margolis

I could tell within 30 seconds that the Harris-Walz campaign was going to regret having Kamala do an interview on Fox News. Frankly, based on what we know now, they were clearly regretting the decision before the interview started. As we reported last night, Bret Baier revealed that the Harris campaign conspicuously showed up late for the interview and then desperately tried to end it early.

Naturally, Harris allies in the media have been trying hard to spin the interview as a positive for her, but the real reason you can tell that Kamala's supporters know the interview was a disaster is how they're complaining about it.

"I think Trump refused to debate Kamala Harris again. So, Harris did the next best thing. She booked a debate on Fox News, and that's what this was tonight. She essentially walked into a Trump campaign field office," lamented CNN's Brian Stelter.

The CNN panel also moaned about the fact that the first questions of the interview were about immigration and not the economy.

And then they complained that there were no questions about abortion.

"Well, there was a real focus on immigration, right? The economy didn't come up until minute number 12," Stelter observed. "Abortion never came up as a top issue."

"The economy is the top issue in every—all seven swing states," noted S.E. Cupp.

"But that's a great point, that abortion didn't come up," Kaitlan Collins agreed.

Well, as we know, Kamala Harris arrived late and cut the interview short, and between that and Kamala's blatant filibustering, Bret Baier said he had a lot more questions to ask.

A former top aide to Kamala Harris, Symone Sanders Townsend, ... also blasted Bret Baier over the questions he asked, claiming they came "straight out of a proverbial Trump/Vance press release."

CommieLa's flacks are claiming that she was "ambushed" and that the questions were unfair. That's after she showed up 15 minutes late and tried to run out the clock with mindless blather. Her team knows the interview was a disaster for her.

Proverbial? That's an entirely inappropriate use that would only happen with some ignorant partisan racist a-hole.

Ambushed her with questions she avoided answering before and, the dirty bomb of political reporting, follow-up questions.

First, Kamala was rudely late. Second, she didn’t stick around for an hour so questions could be asked about other topics. Quit whining Libs.

Bret Baier had the nerve to ask her questions and stuff.

She wasn’t ambushed, she just didn’t get to talk about abortion ad nauseum.

“It was quite refreshing.”

This. When her team yelled ambush it was an attempt to justify Kamala getting cut to pieces, falling on her face, and crawling away from the fight.

clickbait article I didn’t click said Independents Move To Harris After Fox Interview. She was in her element.

Probably written out of thin air by a stooge of the Dems.
Who would be proud of her trying to get out of answering truthfully?

Kamala arrived late, bought time by filibuster and “To be clear” and “Let’s get to the real point, Donald Trump....” twenty times.

Then left early.

They forgot my old ploy suggestion:
“Mystery power outage affects two blocks including studio.”

I give her no credit. Her participation was grudging and hostile, and she was unwilling to answer any questions. I give her and her staff credit for being monumentally stupid. They new she couldn’t pull this off; what they were thinking is beyond me, given her unwillingness to cordially participate in a real interview

Kamala, (rhymes with Pamela), and her campaign advisors never planned on it being an actual interview. They just wanted to use it to filibuster and spew a constant “Trump is a horrible human being and a criminal” diatribe to the FOX news audience. I'm glad that Brett Baier saw what she was attempting to do and put a stop to it. She made herself look like the cheap sleazy mudslinging politician that she is to a very wide audience.

She had no choice. Hillary sort of played it safe. And lost the blue wall in 2016. The same thing was likely going to happen to Harris. So she had to get more aggressive.

Trump initially offered to debate Harris three times.

Harris only accepted the debate at ABC.

If it was today, she'll take all three debates because she has no choice.

Baier wisely did what Tim Russert (RIP) did so many times on Meet the Depressed (H/T Rush Limbaugh): Confront politicos in person with their own recorded spoken words.

It works well—boy do they squirm!

Yeah.

Kamala: How could I have known he would ask me about the border, how I would differ from Biden to turn the page and tax money for sex change surgery?
Never in a million years. I couldn’t prepare for something so wildly off center. May as well have asked about the Unified Field Theory or something. Which I blame on Trump, by the way, whatever it is.

Funny how these same leftist clowns were pleased with Baier when he went after Trump the EXACT same way

Oooooo, that old joke they didn’t even use in Car Wash or Barbershop. Still good, though.

She should have said “Sorry I was late. I walked into the wrong studio here and had to find this one. All you white men look alike to me.”
