Whoa! Maga is fully freaking out because of this interview. Damn. Fox News is still maga Central and she dove right on.
Silly_Care5910 on
Just saw Conservative subreddit laugh about her “getting cooked” lol
thevaluedude on
Going on X is the saddest thing ever. So many constantly online trolls (on both sides, but so many more maga people) bloviating tiny clips that support whatever side they are on with words like “slams” ugh. Where did online discourse go? Deleting my account for good after I grab my data archive.
Dramatic_Phlegmatic on
I think she did great going into the most hostile environment possible. Every single question was a “gotcha” question and she faced all of them head on. Trump on the other hand chickened out of the 60 minutes interview which would have been far friendlier than that. Trump=🐔
NoPreparationss on
She had nothing to lose going on Fox, was never going to win over any MAGA anyway. Good just to be out there.
But it’s funny seeing MAGA acting up because of this.
If you’re a MAGA reading this, however she did you wouldn’t even care anyway. You are just feeling uncomfortable she was willing to head into hostile territory, your safe space, to put herself out there for both sides to see.

Bret Baier’s social media was inundated with desperate conservatives upset he was giving her airtime and begging that he destroy her. It’s clear he tried to create viral clips for Fox News but she was disciplined and didn’t take the bait. Bret interrupted hard but she got most of what she wanted in, and by the standards of Fox News, he was not overly partisan.
I think Fox News viewers will be googling what she said because it’s the first they’ve heard anything negative about Trump this whole campaign.
Marcapls21 on
She did decent. Nothing amazing but it’s Fox News so.
ranchoparksteve on
Both the interviewer and some post-interview, on-screen commenters admitted that Kamala scored points. That’s nothing to be ashamed of.
AsianHawke on
Where can I watch the full interview? I tried going on YT, but it’s literally just MAGA propaganda.
SunMoonStars6969 on
It’s so interesting to read MAGAs response to the interview vs. everyone else’s. Early analysis from a variety of sources are much more fair and balanced including some conservative leaning media. Personally, she’s shown Trump that he needs to man up, answer tough questions, and stop being so weak.
williamgman on
No regular Fox viewer even watched the whole thing. They have zero idea what a tough question is. They wait for it to be chopped up and served thru the evenings propagandists. I’m sure The Five will blend it to the consistency of baby food and spoon feed them.
HappyHenry68 on
She was outstanding. It was a debate not an interview. And she still kicked his ass even though he was controlling all the questions and content. A+ performance.
Danarchy_LRC_ETH on
Oh wow but the conservative subreddits told me it was awful and she bombed and the race is over now and all MAGa gets a pony what the h*ck?!?
Cute_Chip on
How embarrassing to be a MAGA cult member.
Technical_Savior90 on
We will see a flood of double standards and idiots saying “she said nothing of substance” all the while defending trumps spew of bullshit and nonsense. In any case she did great don’t let the cry baby magats who are realizing they idolize a fragile old man who shits his pants at the thought of doing a tough interview
Illuminated12 on
People on the other sub are missing the point… They were never going to vote for her and she wasn’t talking to them.
She was after all the Haley primary voters. All the right leaning Trump haters.
Going into the lion’s Den and looking strong like she did is all that was needed to pull some of these voters. They were just waiting for a reason to vote for anyone but Trump. They found that tonight.
coach_abe on
It’s so refreshing watching a candidate that can string together coherent sentences
camperhew on
Bret Baeir trying to mansplain and talk over her the entire time was disgraceful.
But Faux News is “fair and balanced” get the fuck outta here
MohandasBlondie on
Meanwhile in ArrConservative, “Kamala the Cackler spanked/destroyed/OBLITERATED by Baier and his tough questions”.
I just can’t with these people anymore.
Squirrel_Chucks on
>and she didn’t storm out. She didn’t whine about or insult the interviewer for asking tough questions
For_Aeons on
If Hume and Perino said she was effective, it was at worst a neutral performance. They have no reason to give her credit.
PopeHonkersXII on
If USA Today is singing her praises that is going to reach a lot of white bread, barely tuned in suburban swing voters.
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.

> For starters, Harris deserves credit for doing an interview she and her campaign had to know would be a string of "Gotcha" questions and attempts to get her to say mean things about Trump supporters, a la Hillary Clinton's infamous-but-accurate "Basket of deplorables.”
> Trump fans and his many minions at Fox News will undoubtedly say Harris failed miserably, but the truth, for people operating outside the bubble of insanity, is she more than held her own in a wildly adversarial situation.
> What the interview showed is Harris can more than hold her own in a wildly hostile environment, something most people already knew but Fox News viewers willing to be honest with themselves probably were surprised to see.
Well yea, he’s a coward who either instantly freaks about being corrected/criticized or he just cannot tell when he’s getting mocked.
scissor415 on
When could Trump handle tough questions?
HectorsMascara on
Trump never “handled” tough questions — he’s nothing more than an amoral liar.
Churchbushonk on
You telling me she didn’t immediately fold like a lawn chair like Trump did question #1 with the African American women panel.
fffan9391 on
She should do a fox town hall if they’ll let her.
logjammn on
What is the GOP’s platform? What the fuck are they offering??
Miserable-Result6702 on
I guess that’s why her handlers ended the interview early.
Mountain-Mixture-848 on
Trump on Truth Social tonight: I HATE FOX NEWS!!!! (Probably)
lyteasarockette on
Trump embodies the cowardice that is the basis of the entire magat cult. Everything for them revolves around fear. Harris has courage and that terrifies them even more.
Designer_Buy_1650 on
She showed one helluva backbone. Even if she didn’t ace every question, just showing up and answering (not evading) all the questions should garner some new votes. Would love to know what her pulse was when she first sat down.
No-comment-at-all on
Handle “tough” **stupid** questions.
My prediction… they ban her from appearing on the channel.
juana-golf on
She is playing this masterfully. No matter the outcome, you can’t say she didn’t do her absolute best.
random_sociopath on
And it’s still so damn close. What the actual fuck people?
Awkward_Potential_ on
I’m sometimes taken aback how good she is at this. We had an Obama level politician just sitting there and we didn’t see it.
PlasticPomPoms on
Yes but can Kamala dance for 40 minutes straight without a break?! That’s STAMINA!!!
