Four Kamala Harris staffers waved their arms pleading to end Harris’s much-anticipated but widely panned Fox News Channel’s Special Report interview, Bret Baier revealed Wednesday night.
Baier, who interviewed Kamala Harris, made the shocking revelation during the post-interview broadcast, saying he had many questions he was unable to ask Harris before the interview wrapped.
“You know, I’m talking like four people waving their hands like, ‘it’s gotta stop!’” Baier told the panel.
“I had to dismount there at the end,” Baier said, describing the chaotic ending to his interview of Harris. “There are so many things, and she maybe should do more of these.”
“Madam Vice President, they’re giving me a hard wrap,” Baier said to Harris when ending the interview. He had noted multiple times that staffers were motioning to end the interview.
Baier also accused the campaign of tactics to “ice the kicker” — presumably with Baier as the kicker.
“We were supposed to start at 5 P.M. and we — this was the time they gave us,” he said after the interview. “Originally we were going to do 25 or 30 minutes. They came in and said maybe 20. So it was already getting whittled down. And then the Vice President showed up about 5:15. We were pushing the envelope to be able to turn it around” in time for the scheduled airing.
Harris’s team quickly began framing the interview as a biased attack on the vice president. Senior campaign adviser David Plouffe whined that Baier’s interview was an “ambush” in a tweet minutes after the interview concluded.
Kamala Harris: You Have to Take Responsibility ‘For What Happened in Your Administration’
Vice President Kamala Harris told Fox News anchor Bret Baier that presidents and vice presidents have “to take” responsibility “for what happened” during their administrations.
During an interview with Baier, Harris was asked about a campaign ad in Pennsylvania that said Harris supported “taxpayer funded sex changes for prisoners.”
When asked if she was “still in support of using taxpayer dollars” to help prisoners or illegal migrants “to transition to another gender,” Harris explained that she would “follow the law,” adding that former President Donald Trump followed the law.
When Baier pointed out that Trump claims he “never advocated for that prison policy and no gender transition surgeries happened during his presidency,” Harris pointed out that presidents and vice presidents have “to take” responsibility “for what happened” during their administration.
“You got to take [responsibility] for what happened in your administration,” Harris said.
Many people took to social media to point out that Harris had not taken responsibility for the failures of the Biden-Harris administration, such as an increase in inflation, illegal immigrants, and violent crime.
“She says this about Trump just after claiming zero responsibility for the last 4 years,” Derek Hunter, a columnist for Townhall wrote in a post.
“WOW,” Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) wrote in a post. “Kamala Harris just admitted that she is responsible for,” 20 percent inflation, a decline in “take home pay,” and two “new wars.”
Owens added that Harris had “admitted” responsibility for “10+ million illegal immigrants” and 4.5 percent “increase in violent crime.”
“This November 5th, the American people will hold YOU responsible for ALL of it, Kamala,” Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) wrote in a post.
In his post, Hudson referenced “record-high inflation,” “record-high illegal crossings,” and “record-high crime,” as things Harris needed to take responsibility for.
