WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris angrily dodged questions on border policy, Iran and President Biden’s fitness for office in an contentious interview with Fox News host Bret Baier — as more polls showed her losing the initiative in the race for the White House.
The 26-minute interview with the Democratic nominee kicked off with a tense grilling by Baier on immigration policy — with Harris repeatedly refusing to say that terminating former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy was a mistake.
Baier’s first question schooled Harris about the effects of the current administration’s more permissive policies, which allow many illegal border-crossers to await asylum rulings inside the US, before asking

She arrived late, left early, and answered almost no questions.
Her campaign is a train wreck.

She was insufferable. It was like watching an episode of divorce court.

Like Kamala so clearly stated: you have to take responsibility for what happened when you were in office. She wants to accept responsibility for nothing when she was clearly the one responsible and in power. Leaders take responsibility for their actions, good and bad.

So much for Baier being a Harris stooge.
He knew he'd have to interrupt her filibustering to get anything useful from this encounter. If he let her, she would have spewed talking points the entire time. She is not used to being pressed, and it showed.
Baier also knew that she'd try to spin any reference to her past positions and comments before he even finished asking about them. So he did something smart: he said, let's go to the tape. What could she say--how dare you play that clip of me? So instead of her talking over him before he even finished the question, she was forced to sit there and listen to herself.
"I will follow the law." What the heck does that even mean?

She is a dangerous, foul-tempered dummy. So...she's got that going for her. Locked up a key demographic.

Earlier this week I expressed a concern about Bret Baier tossing some slow-pitch softball questions.
I think we can all agree that he showed up well prepared, businesslike, and exposed this pretender for the phony she is.
Bret designed a preview of what her presidency would be--when things get hot, her handlers throw in the towel after just 26 minutes of being embarrassed.
As Harry Truman remarked: "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen". But then, Harry Truman would not find a home in today's democrat party.

If Americans (voters) were watching, Tyrus may be right. God willing, this thing may be over early.

Even her "I will follow the law" response was a lie. She and Joe broke numerous laws during their sham presidency so why would she change now? She was scared and that led to her anger. Her debates and interviews have all been career-ending displays of stupidity. This one might have hit the heart.

Look at how many "staff" jumped ship over the years. Even they couldn't stand her, and they were being paid for it.

I was pleasantly surprised by Bret. Guess he figured he had to try and salvage whatever reputation journalism has any more and when Trump returns to the White House - will want to be invited for interviews.
As for Kamala, has she no self-awareness? (rhetorical question). She is a prime example of an attractive (not to me but I'm not Willie, Montel, Barack, etc) who has "succeeded' in her career because of her looks, playing up to men like Willie, et al., and never being told you're wrong or being corrected. And knowing she has people around/behind her protecting her (for whatever reason - their own reputations?). Anyway, she's been told for decades and probably since a child, that she is special, blah blah blah.
I'm sure Xi and Putin et al were watching and licking their lips at a Harris Presidency.

Before the interview, I posted that I didn't think that Baier was a good choice. I was wrong - he did a great job.

Never in my life, and most likely never in the history of our Republic, has a more unqualified person run for the office of President. She is an absolute empty head, a complete phony. She knows nothing but how to gaslight.
She was obviously well coached in the art of deflection and pivoting because that's all she did in this interview, not to mention she sounded like a child constantly blaming Trump for all of her (and the vegetable's) mistakes.
This was painful to watch, she is a total joke.

I didn't watch the show because I can't get passed the word salad...what is the White House cabal led by Barack HUSSEIN Obama doing putting her out there...they lost all credibility with Americans...and who donated 1 billion to her campaign just to watch it go up in smoke as she tries to intimidate Bair because she's a woman and he must be polite....I'm speaking now...is getting tired response when she doesn't like his questions....

This woman is a brain-dead, spoiled floozy. She couldn't handle the interview; she tried to filibuster the whole time. She couldn't answer any of the questions because if she did, she'd be destroyed. She didn't have the questions handed to her three days ago, so no one could give her any answers to regurgitate. She's been given the answers her WHOLE LIFE. She's incapable of a serious thought; if she ever had one, it would die of loneliness.
Her incompetence has been laid bare for everyone with half a brain to see.

Kamala is a whiny Valley girl who talks like she's got a thorn up her rear. Her voice is very grating/annoying to say the least.
And thank you Bret for getting her angry. That's the real Kamala Harris, an angry entitled Marxist.

Manacled firmly to the results of the last four years, vacillating between positions trying to appeal to the widely diverse segments of left side voters…the very real issues we face are not solvable on the space she inhabits.

Only thing I could see that Bret missed was when she brought up She was in office for 3.5 years and Trump was campaigning the whole time, he should have pressed her what does ruining for office have to do with anything?
