Salon will be the only outlet to put a positive article about the interview. It was setup so all msm can start ragging on her

Interview was exactly what I thought it was going to be. Kamala getting interviewed by the Trump campaign. She did great but it’s so infuriating to see something so blatantly obvious and unfair and treated as though it’s business as usual for both candidates.

Harris absolutely owned that interview. Excellent work.

She didn’t answer a single question directly. Filibuster

In before the RW trolls all chime in with “America is a republic, not a democracy.”
Of course, that’s like saying “A house is a structure, not a residence.”

Whenever there’s a Democrat on Fox it’s testy. She held her own. And, Bert, it’s called an interview not an *interyou*.

This is a democracy yet nobody voted for her in the primaries.

They invite her to the show so they can yell their talking points at her. They’re goons. They never wanted to hear anything she had to say. She might break their enchantment on their viewers.
ElPlywood on
Trump’s base are all hooting and hollering that she tanked on Fox
Independents and undecideds, if there was even a chance they were watching, won’t think that, at all.
And when they see clips of different answers, they’ll see her not taking any shit, calling out Trump’s shit, and sounding very reasonable and adult. And dealing with a man talking over her repeatedly, trying to tell her she was wrong about this or that.
Net net: she gained voters from it, absolutely.
Let the magas high five themselves into a tizzy

I can tell she did really well during that interview because holy shit the MAGAs are coming in hot on this sub right now
sugar_addict002 on
She should continue to call him out when he spouts this crazy stuff. And by name. Don’t play his games.
HappyHenry68 on
She was incredible in that debate. Because that’s what it was. A debate, not an interview. He repeatedly ambushed her and she slayed him. No bad moments. Amazing. Pete “Fox News” Buttigeig is impressed.

I’m watching tape on YouTube with a brother that supports Trump. The comments from the MAGA crowd are incredibly and expectedly disturbing.
Why any minority (black, women, Hispanic, Jewish, gay, trans, other) would support Trump just shows how gullible many of the electorate truly are.
If you’re not white, male, and/or wealthy – supporting Trump will not gain you acceptance to Trump’s inner circle or club.
A win for Harris.
Kamala Harris held her own.
Danarchy_LRC_ETH on
There’s literally no downside to an interview on a hostile network when turmp’s weak ass is dancing & sundowning lol
dixie12oz on
Every negative comment in articles about it is from accounts with a long history of MAGA. They were never going to think it went well or if they did they would never admit it.
Of course all the headlines on their website paint Harris as doing poorly.
Bubble_Rider on
I think she did very well…except the part where she was given the chance to call Trump voters stupid and she didn’t take the bait. Part of me wanted her to say – “YES THEY ARE” 🙂
skimcpip on
I saw people on here both celebrating and panicking so I decided to watch it myself. I’m glad I did. It wasn’t so great but it also wasn’t that bad. In the end, I doubt it changes anyone’s vote.

That clip of Trump threatening to use the military against the radical left needs to be broadcast far and wide. Everyone needs to hear it. I think it really has potential to wake up some people who were planning to stay home this year, and maybe even flip some more libertarian voters who may have been third party types or considering a Trump vote.
I posted it to the RFK sub yesterday and got some reasonable reactions in between the Trump gargerlers. That place has taken a serious nosedive since Kennedy endorsed trump, but there’s still some independent minded people there who aren’t buying the Trump endorsement.
I know yall love to hate on us, but before Kennedy dropped out, there was a strong anti-trump contingent over there. Mostly actual libertarians, and Bernie types. Those people can be convinced to vote to keep Trump out by this insane rhetoric, like I was.
> "He has talked about turning the American military on American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him," she said.
> During his own interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, the former president said that people who disagree with him have "Destroyed our country.”
According to conservatives she’s losing badly in the interview 🙄
Geektime1987 on
I don’t want to sound like MAGA always complaining whenever Trump is challenged but Fox not once has ever been as hard on Trump or interrupted him the way they did with Kamala
EmporioS on
She handled herself well during the interview, despite the interviewer being rude and frequently interrupting her. It seemed like he talked more than she did, which made them appear intimidated by her. It’s good to see the media beginning to address Trump’s mental decline.
VanceKelley on
In a democracy the candidate who gets 3 million more votes than her opponent would be declared to have won the election.
Thus if the USA were a democracy then trump would never have been POTUS.
seekAr on
Thank god for Kamala, because if I had to field that pompous dick pimple talking down to and over a presidential candidate and existing VICE PRESIDENT, there would be blood stains where Bret was.
kellyb1985 on
Bret Baier selectively clipped that Trump comment by the way. He repeated the comment that they were the enemy within before pivoting to what they shared. Literally, in the same interview, on the same question a few seconds earlier. Un-fucking-real. Fox News is a trash organization
I fucking loved that she brought up Trump tanking the Iran nuclear deal for literally no god damn gain. It was one of the dumber moments of the Trump administration and that’s saying a lot.
motohaas on
I tried to watch the whole interview, but he was so rude!
Let the woman finish answering the question! 😡
another “we’ve been to the border” moment for harris. whoever thought that this interview was a good idea did a total disservice to her. luckily the majority of democrats probably don’t watch fox news, and the rest of the news outlets are keeping quiet, so this huge dumpsterfire of an interview will go unnoticed.

Kamala Harris is the president America deserves. Vote for Harris, let’s be great again, together.
Civ96 on
Arent both parties owned by AIPAC? What’s the point here? Voting for trump will not change anything neither will voting harris.
SPAMmachin3 on
Brett Baier was borderline disrespectful in this interview and Kamala did great.
Orange Man would never do an interview like this.
That should be enough evidence alone, but the R crowd lives in their own universe.
SarahMagical on
Just watched the interview. She steamrolled that misogynistic oaf of an interviewer as he attempted again and again to interrupt her. Very strong interview for Harris.
Harris went on Fox. Now let’s see Trump hobble out of his tiny safe space to face reality. He won’t do it.

She looked presidential. Book it.
Not for long if Trump gets elected…
