Fox News Interview May Have Finally Exposed Kamala Harris
On Wednesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared in a notable interview on Fox News, which has drawn comparisons to President Joe Biden’s infamous debate performance that raised concerns about his acceptability to voters. This interview was seen as a desperate attempt by her campaign, as it was one of the few national TV interviews she has conducted since becoming the preferred Democratic nominee. During the interview, Harris did not offer fresh insights, instead providing vague and often confusing responses to straightforward questions. She repeatedly deflected inquiries about her time in the White House by attempting to shift the conversation towards critiques of Donald Trump. The entire segment has been characterized as a significant moment that may have damaged her standing with voters.
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 Brett 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.
