First of all, she had the courage to walk into the lions den. She took on Fox. Let’s see the traitor go on MSNBC.
It is obvious Baier had no intention of letting the Vice President get her point across. For any person at Fox to refer to themselves as a journalist is an insult to actual journalists.
Meanwhile, the traitor did a town hall on Univision with Latino undecideds. He reiterated his lie that immigrants are eating dogs and cats. Why did he say that? Because “that’s what I heard.” The President of the United States, or someone running to be president, does not repeat what “he heard”. You verify the veracity of “what you heard” first. I nuked Moscow because “I heard” they were going to nuke us. He’s very presidential.
I agree with Steven. Women will notice his battering interruptions as abusive and rude and offensive. Typical MAGA tactic. But Kamala met the barrage of interruptions with strength and courage without becoming hateful or cruel. It was marvelous how she handled it all.
Excerpt from Steven’s essay:
“…But I am sure that, beyond Harris’ tenacity, toughness and compassion, some women viewers noticed Baeir’s constant interruptions as she tried to answer the questions…”
This excellent performance (yet again) should put to rest the infuriating narrative that she’s ducking the media. She has absolutely soared over every faux bar set for her by of the “critics.”
Kamala Harris's performance displayed in this one event will resonate with, dare I say, ALL women navigating this world. It certainly does with me as a PhD scientist. The biggest offenders were those with similar backgrounds. i hope that the resonant frequency this creates in listeners translates to changes in votes. Kudos to Kamala for this brilliant move.
Harris put Trump's weakness on full display during her interview on Fox. He's afraid to debate her again, he was afraid to do the 60 Minutes interview. The only place he'll put himself out there is at his rallies in the comfort of his adoring MAGAts, or on Fox News where they only ask him softball questions. But even in those settings, his weakness and insanity is on full display for anyone honest enough with themselves to see it.
I imagine orders came from above for him to be rude & contradictory. I was pleased to see Kamala's aggressiveness. She is very capable of holding her own.
Yes, Mr. On High began complaining and attacking Fox hosts by name as soon as the interview was announced. The interview is unlikely to change any faux news loyalists. However, we don’t know what independents will take from it and how many places clips will be viewed.
You'd think men would know better than to interrupt Harris. The scenario I relish is the couple watching this, the man going on about uppity or talky or similar women, and the wife having a quiet revelation--boy YEAH.
A win. I think plenty of Fox viewers heard things they have NEVER HEARD BEFORE living in that FOX MAGA Earth 2 bubble. That alone is a win. VP Harris was NOT the cartoon character they’ve painted her to be. She was strong and smart and Presidential even if viewers didn’t agree with anything.
Also yet another sad and pathetic example of how masculinity in MAGA world = BULLYING. Bret B was nothing but a performative bully acting for an audience of one. Praying he stays on Trump’s good side.
Meanwhile Trump continues to hide in hand picked MAGA crowds who allow him to rant and rave “or sway to music for 40 min” without pushback or challenge with THE TRUTH.
I know. SO shady of him to cue up that incorrect ‘example’ - her in-time call out was the best part of the interview. The ad should clip that entire part and then show what he really has been saying.
Harris remained knowledgeable and firm in this interview. Bret Baier was rude and determined to crack her comments and conversation in the usual Fox method. He was thoroughly unattractive and impolite. Bret would never have done this to a MAGA supporter or head. Bret must have been selected to do the interview since he would handle the interview in this nasty way? Baier is such a wildly admitted Trump supporter that he has bought a $30 million mansion very near by MAL in FL. A “love fest” for sure. Bret was doing a favor for his pal, Trump! Bret’s job is very secure.
If nothing else, I hope the Fox viewers will have been impressed with the intelligence, composure and confidence with which Kamala Harris handled the "interviewer's" constant and deliberate interruptions.
Women, as Steven has mentioned, will have taken particular notice.
Steven, you accurately point out what I think will be Trump's final argument in the last days of this election. "The enemy of the people is within". In 2024 this election's "caravan" will include all Democrats, the Justice Department, any Republican that has turned against him, and of course our leader Kamala Harris. It includes journalists, media hosts, authors, everyone on this and other sites like it, who have the courage to speak the truth about the true danger within...Donald Trump.
I have no doubt that November 5, 2024 will be a historical crossroad for our Democracy.
It's not as though Baier's conduct was unanticipated either by VP Harris or any thoughtful person in or outside her camp. Indeed,Baier tried to 'win' the 'interview'. He was clearly not ready for prime time. His pathetic attempts to badger, misdirect, and talk over VP Harris made him and Fox News as an entity look weaker and less prepared than if Baier had simply posed his 'gotcha' questions and let her answer. Conversely, his conduct allowed her to clearly demonstrate her strength and cool command of adversarial situations.
Whether or not the VP moved any votes into her column, this was clearly a strong strategic move for the her.
What I saw last night was not a journalist conducting an interview. Kudos to Kamala for going into the lion's den and taking them on. She definitely got her points across despite the atrocious behavior of the interviewer. If Fox watchers can't see that she is by far the most competent and capable candidate, they are only fooling themselves.
It really was more of a debate, with Baier serving as proxy for Mr. Trump. It is sad that a so-called "news" organization is so willing to blatantly carry the water the most partisan politician in our almost 250 year history. Last night, Fox shed any notion that it is nothing more than an a propaganda arm of the Republican party.
She was confident, poised and accurate. Only one other thing I wish she had done. At one point Baier asked her why, if Trump is so bad, he is still basically tied with her and that so many still will vote for him. This would have been the perfect time to call out the four-year lie that Democrats stole the last election from him, a lie which cost Baier's network nearly $800 million. After all, who of these people would vote for her if they believe she stole the last election.? They see this as their guy getting another chance. (Of course, I say this as an armchair quarterback.) Go Kamala!

Indeed, a win. Hope there’s another Fox “interview” when she might ask “Why would you constantly interrupt me, but never interrupt Donald Trump?”

I hope there are ads with the “enemy within” part that show actual threats from DJT that Brett avoided showing or addressing.

Notice that your abbreviation for Mar a Lago is MAL or “bad” in Spanish. Seems appropriate to me.

The enemy of the people is Trump. He’s always looking in the mirror but he just would never admit it’s so.
