Epic Clash: Pressed by Fox News, Kamala Harris Comes Out Swinging
Vice President Kamala Harris faced a contentious interview with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier. The interview was marked by Harris’ passionate and sometimes confrontational responses to Baier’s questions. Here are key points from the interview:
– **Confrontational Tone**: Harris repeatedly stood up to Baier, raising her voice and making broadsides against former President Donald Trump. She described Trump as “unfit to serve” and “unstable,” emphasizing his tendency to demean and belittle others.
– **Immigration Questions**: Harris was pressed on immigration issues, including the broken immigration system and her stance on border crossings. She acknowledged the system’s flaws but did not provide clear answers on how she would fix it, attributing the lack of progress to Trump’s actions and the need for bipartisan support.
– **Taxpayer-Funded Transgender Surgery**: Harris dodged a question about supporting taxpayer-funded transgender surgery for federal inmates, saying she would follow the law. The Trump campaign countered that the first such surgery occurred during her tenure.
– **Comparison to Joe Biden**: Harris emphasized that her presidency would not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s, highlighting her lack of experience in Washington. This response was a cleanup of her previous statement on “The View” where she struggled to identify any differences between her policies and Biden’s.
– **Defensive Stance**: The interview was part of a series of tough interviews Harris has been engaging in, aiming to show voters she can handle challenging questions. This approach is seen as a way to change minds among a large audience, particularly those who support Trump.
