Kamala Harris vs. Fox News: ‘She totally schooled Bret Baier’ | ‘He got his ass kicked’

Here's reaction to the Vice President's interview with a hostile network on Wednesday night

Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris sat for an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Wednesday night and skewered Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump on several occasions.

…

Lincoln Project founder Rick Wilson: “Kamala came to Fox to stack bodies.”

In the most controversial part of the interview, Baier played a clip of Trump insisting that liberals were the enemy because he has been investigated “more than Al Capone.” When Baier asked for Harris’ reaction, she pounced:

“With all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the ‘enemy within’ that he has repeated when he’s speaking about the American people,” Harris said. “That’s not what you just showed.”

Baier tried to interrupt, but Harris kept going.

    I think, at best, this interview is a non-event. It’s not going to make a difference with conservatives and it’s not going to make a difference with her own base. Probably not for independents either. The biggest win is probably that she can say she did it, and Trump is too afraid to do the same.

      It’s not going to make a difference with conservatives

      It’s not going to make a difference with MAGAs. Nothing will. But the hold-their-nose Republicans are already starting to question whether or not everything they have been told about her is true, and casting further doubt on that could be enough to get them to leave the “President” line on the ballot blank. Seeing her responses, unfiltered by a pundit, could absolutely start that questioning. It could even start dominoes falling in their head that end up with a party affiliation shift in 2028 or 2032.

      and it’s not going to make a difference with her own base.

      As you can see in this very thread, her excellent performance is definitely infusing more enthusiasm into her base. There’s already a huge enthusiasm gap between the two candidates, and she’s running up the score. That makes a measurable difference.

      Probably not for independents either.

      Actually—

      The biggest win is probably that she can say she did it, and Trump is too afraid to do the same.

      —I think this right here actually helps her with independents quite a bit. The ones I’ve talked to value discourse so much that hearing she’s willing to engage with the other side like this might make them take notice.

      Nah the win is all the people who are oblivious to politics and only go to places that show fox news getting to see the real her.

      There are a ton of people who only watch fix not by choice but because that’s the only station on at the various places they go like restaurants, bars etc.
      It’s also speaking to people who claim to be trump supporters but are really looking for Republican light.
