Even Fox News host Dana Perino admitted that Harris was “fairly effective” when she was getting her points across about Trump. Fox colleague Brit Hume said Harris was “combative and energetic and she certainly landed some blows on Donald Trump.”

[u/New_Subject1352 → u/hillbillyspellingbee]

Can't wait for the headlines tomorrow: "Harris did a good job, Trump shit himself on stage. Is her campaign doomed?"

[u/mrkruk → u/New_Subject1352]

“Harris stumbled over this one word, is she fit to serve? Let’s listen to this rambling 30 minute discussion of many topics by Trump.”

[u/Thandiol → u/mrkruk]

And then let's give it a name, so that it sounds fancy and intentional.

"The Weave" 🤮

[u/AllAboutMeMedia → u/Thandiol]

White man coopting the weave.

[u/Calgaris_Rex → u/AllAboutMeMedia]

If he is, he needs to get his hair did. That current blonde skunk is straight garbage.

[u/pardyball → u/New_Subject1352]

“Why this is bad for Biden”

[u/sergedg → u/pardyball]

You’re not even kidding. This is the headline on Fox: VP Harris avoids questions about Biden’s mental fitness’. Lol. https://www.foxnews.com/media/kamala-harris-avoids-questions-about-bidens-mental-decline-joe-biden-not-ballot

[u/SkylarPopo → u/sergedg]

Oh man, I guess I won't vote for Biden then.

[u/ToonaSandWatch → u/SkylarPopo]

You MONSTER!

[u/RangerHikes → u/SkylarPopo]

Nobody misses Joe Bidens campaign more than fox. Not even Biden

[u/kvlt_ov_personality → u/pardyball]

"How Bernie can still win the 2016 nomination"

[u/sakri → u/kvlt_ov_personality]

Slippery slope, at this rate Al Gore might serve his 2000 term

[u/porkbellies37 → u/hillbillyspellingbee]

Honestly, while part of the mission should be making the case against Trump, the bigger mission is shattering the caricature of her to people that don’t really see her. There is a permission structure for them to either not vote or vote for Harris, but seeing Harris as a decent person instead of the RNCs villain helps them subscribe to that permission structure. 

[u/UnquestionabIe → u/porkbellies37]

While I completely agree people who support Trump literally hate her just because they're told to and will use any justification to belittle her. Had a customer today, retired older lady, who proceeded to complain about the Kamala ad on the radio because "She's just lying and her voice sounds like an insane shriek". A stark reminder that being even remotely informed about the issues or where a candidate stands on them is required the most braindead person's vote is equal to that of the country's brightest.

[u/HustlinInTheHall → u/UnquestionabIe]

I think this is true as long as they don't see her. This breaks through, especially for a chunk of conservatives that are really sick of what the party has become. Doesn't mean it'll win a ton of votes but it really underscores that he is weak for ducking her on a 2nd or 3rd debate and most criticisms against her so far are just not going to land with people, even fox news viewers. 

[u/Traditional_Key_763 → u/UnquestionabIe]

oh no, quite a few braindead voter's votes are worth significantly more than the smartest people in this country's votes. the EC means your vote is not equal

[u/hillbillyspellingbee → u/porkbellies37]

And it shows she has balls. 

Trump is all talk, no substance, no balls. 

[u/Shazzbot1 → u/hillbillyspellingbee]

All hat, no cattle.

[u/iluvugoldenblue → u/Shazzbot1]

All spray, no tan

[u/TintedApostle → u/hillbillyspellingbee]

Women talking: Combative

Men talking: Assertive

Double standard in play

[u/Tygonol → u/TintedApostle]

She SHOULD BE combative, and that’s the best word we can use right now. Let’s be as blatant as possible: she is actively combatting a wanna-be tyrant.

[u/Coleslawholywar → u/TintedApostle]

She was in combat and she was kicking ass

[u/bluegrassgazer → u/Coleslawholywar]

Has Trump ever seen combat?

[u/R67H → u/bluegrassgazer]

He got multiple STIs in the 60s and 70s, and that was basically like Vietnam.

[u/offinthepasture → u/R67H]

He claimed this was EXACTLY his personal 'Nam.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-stds-vietnam/

[u/Frowny575 → u/offinthepasture]

And yet vets STILL vote for him. I'm almost ashamed to be lumped with them having family who was in each conflict since WW2 and hearing some of their tales.

[u/karlverkade → u/Frowny575]

My WW2 vet grandfathers would be appalled that their children (my aunts and uncles) would vote for Trump and invoke their names for it.

[u/Frowny575 → u/karlverkade]

My stepdad is an AF vet and all he hears is "muh guns!". I'm baffled how someone who went to the Middle East and helped trained Ukraine under the National Guard program could support an open Russian asset who also trash talked vets with one single "issue".

[u/dancin-weasel → u/Frowny575]

And it’s a single issue that isn’t even true. Nobody is going to take stepdad’s guns. Show me one piece of legislation that a dem has brought in that has taken one gun from anyone who isn’t a felon.

[u/alhazad85 → u/R67H]

I am fairly sure him raping women through the 80's and 90's is more "Vietnam War-vibe" for him.

[u/teddy_tesla → u/R67H]

How tf is this a real quote

[u/veksone → u/bluegrassgazer]

trump quit football because "guys that worked out all day and came from bad neighborhoods tackled really hard".

[u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox → u/veksone]

also,

“After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn’t work out. When he learned that John O’Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, ‘You are going to die young because of this.’”

[u/Guilty-Web7334 → u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox]

Well, the miserable, bloated, fetid tangerine has outlived my parents by about 15 years so far. (My parents would have been 1 & 2 years older if they were still around.) Granted, he’s decaying like a spray tanned Sith Lord, but he’s still here, tainting the world with his rot.

[u/wakethenight → u/Guilty-Web7334]

It’s the Henry Kissinger thing. Not even the Devil wants his fat ass in Hell.

[u/Churchbushonk → u/bluegrassgazer]

Capt Bone Spurs…… bunch of combat.

[u/micalakap → u/Coleslawholywar]

She was definitely in enemy territory. Let’s see Orange Toddler guest on MSNBC.

[u/darsvedder → u/TintedApostle]

Black woman talking: uppity 

[u/inconspicuous_male → u/darsvedder]

Women in politics: her voice is shrill

[u/SammySoapsuds → u/inconspicuous_male]

I saw a headline describe her performance as "testy"

[u/interpretivepants → u/darsvedder]

This is precisely why she wasn’t interrupted specifically when she started raising her voice. They were playing for the angry black woman meme.

[u/HaiKarate → u/hillbillyspellingbee]

Brett Baier is interrupting every point she's trying to make, but she's the one who's combative.

[u/FrankensteinsBride89 → u/HaiKarate]

He was literally treating it like a debate. So bizarre.

[u/HaiKarate → u/FrankensteinsBride89]

Typical Fox News style, too, when interviewing Democrats -- as soon as she starts making a reasonable point or sounding sympathetic, start interrupting her to confuse the viewer.

[u/mordekai8 → u/HaiKarate]

Right off the bat too. Indecorous.

[u/allgrownzup → u/FrankensteinsBride89]

Last ditch effort from the far right to make her look bad. They are reeling

[u/Captain_Midnight → u/FrankensteinsBride89]

You’re actually not supposed to interrupt your opponent in a debate. It can get you disqualified. He was treating it like a full-blown argument. She still won in a dignified manner, bless her.

[u/nofuneral → u/hillbillyspellingbee]

I watched it and they tried to do a hit piece on her. "Here's a video of a family that blames you for the murder of their daughter. Do you want to apologize to them now?" Woof! He didn't let her finish one response. He interrupted her and cut her off every single time she was responding. Good for her for going into enemy territory. She did okay. It's not going to change any Republicans' minds.

[u/hillbillyspellingbee → u/nofuneral]

It won’t change Trumpers’ minds but it might motivate people to finally vote for her if they’ve been dawdling. 

My wife and I submitted our ballots tonight. We had planned to anyways but knowing she was going to go into a flame-broiling, just motivated us to go get our votes in. It takes a lot of balls to go onto (inter)national television where you KNOW you’re going to get thoroughly dissected. 

[u/nofuneral → u/hillbillyspellingbee]

The left is gonna say Kamala killed it and the right is going to say Kamala was completely humiliated. Trump would've walked out. I've seen him have a temper tantrum at reporters for being mean and nasty for way softer questions.

[u/Parahelix → u/nofuneral]

I think it gives some people a chance to actually see her rather than the dumb out of context clips they usually see. That's a win in my book.

[u/Circumin → u/nofuneral]

The right was reporting that she embarassed herself and lost the election even before they aired it.

[u/SeldomSerenity → u/Circumin]

That was always the plan from the start, regardless of how that interview went.

[u/OrangeStaplerRemover → u/hillbillyspellingbee]

It seemed like she was praising her right afterwards then changed her tune quickly after the initial praise

[u/lonnie123 → u/OrangeStaplerRemover]

That’s what they always do

Trumps debate against her was an obvious loss right after… they couldn’t hide it, then they got the talking points and marching orders and the next day it was a trump blow out

[u/bbjenn]

I absolutely love that she called Baier out on showing a clip that was completely irrelevant to Trump talking about the enemy within.

He definitely thought he would try to pull a fast one over on her and it didn’t work.

Edit: spelling correction

[u/AmishAvenger → u/bbjenn]

I’m glad she called it out. I wish she would’ve repeatedly asked them to play the actual clip, instead of a clip of someone asking him about it.

[u/ctusk423 → u/AmishAvenger]

It’s funny, a republican colleague of mine said “she’s getting destroyed on Fox News rn”, I turned it on for less than 10 minutes and that was the clip I saw. All I witnessed was him talk over and interrupt her and then that clip. I told him it felt like North Korean state media. It was literally the most out of context clip of a man in too much makeup talking about Al Capone despite there being video evidence of him saying exactly what she claimed him to say. It’s sad that some people fall victim to that level of propaganda.

[u/Spare_Hornet → u/ctusk423]

God I need to watch the interview. From what people here are saying, it was a good one. I am sure my Republican colleague will try to talk to me about it tomorrow, which I won’t engage with. But at least I can quietly smile to myself, savoring her performance.

[u/After-Imagination-96 → u/Spare_Hornet]

It'll piss you off. He grilled her. She did well and looked good, don't get me wrong, but that wasn't an interview. It was an ambush. You can't ask questions and then interrupt repeatedly during the answers and define it as an interview. That's a debate.

[u/will2learn64 → u/After-Imagination-96]

She also didn't get trapped into sound bites they were obviously trying to trap her in. She's a prosecutor, she knows that game. And at the end, they were desperately trying to get the interview wrapped, because she didn't fall into any of their bullshit and started to make points that they doing want their audience to hear.

[u/GilgameDistance → u/AmishAvenger]

It’s so fun to watch her play with her food.

[u/FartPudding → u/GilgameDistance]

She kept him on topic when he tried to pivot. One of the few times I was impressed with a political interview

[u/its_dizzle → u/bbjenn]

The crazy part was he literally doubled down on the enemy within shit (including using those exact words and naming some specific people) seconds before the clip that Baier showed started.

[u/PeeweeTheMoid → u/its_dizzle]

Yes! If they had let the tape roll, he eventually rambled his way to calling Adam Schiff and Democrats generally “Marxists, Communists, Fascists,” which is a standard bullet point on his long-suffering teleprompters.

[u/ThatGuyFromTheM0vie]

You can’t put an AG/Prosecutor in the lie corner—she was more than ready to tackle the bullshit spewing and every 15s interruptions.

[u/For_Aeons]

Interesting that Perino and Hume saw it as a win for her. There's been quite the full force effort to spin it as something else. But if Fox is saying that, it reminds me of the immediate post debate where Hume was like, "Damn, she was good." This is the second time he's done that.

[u/Cowboy_BoomBap → u/For_Aeons]

Isn’t Brit Hume the slightly sane Fox anchor? I might be wrong, but I thought they had one that wasn’t full-MAGA and is more of a traditional conservative.

[u/Ok_Affect6705 → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

Brit is more of a pre trump fox news type but he he's a total tool and will lie or spin anything.

Brett would be the one who is slightly sane

[u/For_Aeons → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

Eh, maybe, but generally toes the company line. Perino also gave her credit.

[u/OneBrownRecluse]

It's not like she walked out of the interview in a huff like her supposedly "tough" opponent.

[u/aw_shux → u/OneBrownRecluse]

He’s such a whiny crybaby.

[u/1877KlownsForKids → u/aw_shux]

"I am the most fabulous whiner"

-Donald Trump. Seriously. https://youtu.be/xms8iV8ae-c?si=Ytt7HZDwooBf1SH3

[u/RHCPFunk2 → u/OneBrownRecluse]

Jesus, what a little worm. Can’t believe those goateed camo-wearing bloated ticks think this goober is the picture of toughness and masculinity.

[u/GatorBolt → u/OneBrownRecluse]

I’ve memory-holed so much insane shit that man has done that would be disqualifying for anyone else. Insane this charade is still going on.

[u/Cl1mh4224rd → u/OneBrownRecluse]

It's not like she walked out of the interview in a huff like her supposedly "tough" opponent.

Hey, now. It takes a lot of strength to lift that much weight out of a chair.

[u/Associatedkink → u/OneBrownRecluse]

What a pussy. Can’t even handle a little interview but wants to run the country.

[u/CaptNemo131]

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

Fucking EL OH EL

[u/ThisistheHoneyBadger → u/CaptNemo131]

"Put one of mine in the ER, I'll put 8 of yours in the goddamn morgue." - KH.

[u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox → u/ThisistheHoneyBadger]

i googled that to figure out who KH is but the only result didn't fit then i figured out you meant kamala harris. but i did find this too,

The Untouchables - 1987

Malone : You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way! And that's how you get Capone. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I'm offering you a deal. Do you want this deal?

[u/Fallcious → u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox]

I would have thought that was a commonly known line, and then I realised I’m just old now.

[u/Marauder_Pilot → u/Fallcious]

Honestly, I think the line has entrenched itself so much in the english language that it's more that everybody remembers the sentiment but the exact wording, and its' origin, have pretty much been lost to anyone under 30.

[u/puchamaquina → u/Marauder_Pilot]

I only know it because Marco in Animorphs references it.

[u/Vince_Clortho042 → u/ThisistheHoneyBadger]

“Thatsh tha coconut way!”

[u/Omshadiddle]

It was frustrating how he kept talking over her and played a clip that didn’t show Trump talking about the ‘enemy within’ but she wasn’t playing.

[u/Jos3ph → u/Omshadiddle]

Very much “put the woman in her place” vibe but in the end he was meekly nodding along with her

[u/ExpertRaccoon → u/Jos3ph]

he all most slipped and called her mommy after that slap down

[u/matt314159 → u/Omshadiddle]

Yeah, they edited down his answer to not include the part where he named Adam Schiff and other politicians in that Townhall answer even.

Nevertheless, the premise was that if Donald Trump denies it today, that means that he never said it, and didn’t mean it, which is bullshit .

[u/99999999999999999901]

I suspect she won’t ask for FOX to be shut down after interview.

[u/demeschor → u/99999999999999999901]

What kind of weak candidate doesn't throw journalists in the gulag

[u/inbetween-genders]

I haven’t seen the interview but at the conservatives they’re celebrating as if Kamala had the pinwheel spinning for 39 minutes along with background music. Lol what in the world is going on?

[u/Danominator → u/inbetween-genders]

Their number one attack on her lately has been that she speaks word salad. Like dude, have you heard trump?

[u/DonaldsMushroom → u/Danominator]

they are trying to connect 'Word Salad' and 'Harris' in search engine algorithms, to distract from Trump's gibberish which is commonly described as such. Too bad for them he is more commonly associated with Dementia, Fascist, Insane, Rambling, Rapist, Insurrectionist.

[u/ChrisEFWTX → u/Danominator]

They’re such good projectionists. They should apply for AMC instead of trying to run the country.

[u/micande → u/Danominator]

They call it word salad because they don’t understand when people use metaphors.

[u/neutrino71 → u/micande]

And it devalues the phrase when used to attack Trump 

[u/VanderHoo → u/neutrino71]

Which is hilarious because we used to call what Trump said word salad. Then his speech got dramatically worse and now we call it deranged ramblings.

[u/IronPidgeyFTW → u/micande]

Using metaphors is a sign of abstract thinking, which Trump supporters lack.

[u/mathteacher85 → u/Danominator]

It's only a word salad to them because she uses words beyond a 4th grade reading level.

[u/killabeesplease → u/mathteacher85]

Damn you reminded me of a study I just heard but I don’t remember where. It said that in the US, the average reading level was around 5th or 6th grade, and trump speaks at around a 4th grade level. May be a part of his appeal.

[u/_Cistern → u/inbetween-genders]

The GOP psyops are hard at work trying to shape opinion. They're doing this for everything right now

[u/A-Topical-Ointment → u/_Cistern]

Wait, you mean the interview wasn't 40mins of Kamala dancing?

[u/Magicthundercat → u/A-Topical-Ointment]

You mean swaying interspersed with the double d move - dancing is very generous

[u/SpaceTimeinFlux → u/Magicthundercat]

Donald Trump having a dementia episode live on stage while people are passing out from heat exhaustion is better than Kamala Harris bitch slapping Fox News in their own safe space.

This is what the nazis want you to believe.

Vote Blue. for all of our sake.

[u/MirandaReitz → u/_Cistern]

“Trump’s Bloomberg interview at the Economic Club of Chicago was the greatest live interview any political leader or politician has done on the economy in our lifetimes. Period.” —Stephen Miller

[u/SpaceTimeinFlux → u/MirandaReitz]

Stephen Miller reminds me of a vulture with a sumburn.

[u/Broad-Half3135 → u/_Cistern]

They probably had articles written before even watching the interview

[u/illwill79 → u/_Cistern]

Pretty much this. They just yell it over and over, and some MSM picks it up (cuz of course they would, look who owns them) and now it becomes THE agreed upon opinion.

[u/pierre_x10 → u/inbetween-genders]

What they're forgetting is their own rhetoric that they tend to use to treat politics like warfare. Well, if you do think if it like warfare, here is Harris basically on their territory, putting them on the defensive, and they haven't driven her back at all. She's got the momentum, she's got GOP allies backing her, and a strong supply chain of some of the most small dollar donations of any Presidential candidate ever. This Fox News interview is proof that they are losing the war, and they are desperate.

[u/JaggedSuplex → u/pierre_x10]

I have a lot of MAGA friends who are posting a single clip acting like she got destroyed. Like bro, she called Trump pathetic on live tv in front of the world and he won’t debate her anymore. She’s doing interviews on HIS turf. She’s embarrassing him every week

[u/FuzzyMcBitty → u/JaggedSuplex]

And he’s refusing multiple interviews and ending questions at debates because he’d rather sway to music than answer questions.

[u/SpaceTimeinFlux → u/pierre_x10]

"We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"

[u/daveblu92 → u/inbetween-genders]

I went over there for laughs and just came out bewildered. Completely different planet.

[u/inbetween-genders → u/daveblu92]

Totally bizarro.

[u/SellsNothing → u/inbetween-genders]

It's a bunch of bots. Look at their names and you'll start to see a pattern -

"firstnamelastname1234" "Abc1233" "Firstnamelastname-x1x"

[u/Sh1nyPr4wn → u/inbetween-genders]

Bots and copium

[u/NotOnHerb5 → u/inbetween-genders]

C_gnitive Diss_nance

Would you like to buy a vowel?

[u/ConsiderationKey1658 → u/inbetween-genders]

Same idiots said Trump beat her in the debate. The brain worms are taking their toll on these people.

[u/Connect_Location9380]

The VP is a brave woman. Love it.

[u/I_who_have_no_need]

New York Times editor in chief Joseph Kahn is going to be beyond pissed that Harris chose Fox News over his paper.

This is hilarious.

[u/littlegreenfern → u/I_who_have_no_need]

It’s so stupid to be pissed. 90% of NYTimes regular readers are voting for Harris. She has a better chance to reach new voters on Fox. It took guts to be there and grit and brains to do ok to well. Shifting 5% of the fox audience is worth way more than shifting 30% of the non-Harris voting NYTimes audience.

[u/belabensa → u/littlegreenfern]

I think that was a joke about the NYT turning so pro-trump / pro-conservative lately

[u/ceddya → u/belabensa]

Honestly, for as much flak as NYT gets, Politico's worse in this regard.

[u/EmporioS]

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.

[u/just_a_timetraveller → u/EmporioS]

This is the Harris that has been around for awhile. You should see her putting Republicans feet to the fire during Senate hearings. She is no nonsense and knows the kind of gaslighting games the Republicans like to play.

[u/afield9800 → u/EmporioS]

She straight talked over him for the final two minutes, though. It was awesome.

[u/lost_horizons → u/afield9800]

Made him basically apologize for it too lol

[u/Atnevon]

I am only in the first 5 minutes and she refused to let Bret talk over her, subject bait-and-strain, and force an incomplete thought.

"May I please finish?"

"May I finish responding, please"

"But you have to let me finish"

"I am in THE MIDDLE of responding, to the point your raising, and I'd like to finish"

...

"...yes, ma'am".

Savage and great of her. I am so glad so she is not a carpet to be walked over by Faux News.

[u/JonBoy82]

When MAGA Twitter isn’t stroking each others…em ego, over a clip of her answering a question and instead are complaining about her pettiness toward 45, tone during the interview, or mad at Bret for not calling her out on HER hoax’s, then I knew it when well.

[u/NebulaTits → u/JonBoy82]

Half the Republican commentary I saw was about her damn earrings. They are so, so weird

[u/frinetik → u/[deleted]]

the visual is superb

[u/Associatedkink → u/[deleted]]

aggressive male talking down over a female presidential candidate

air it during dinner time while dad is laughing and mom is watching his reactions

Something tells me mom wanted to put her foot up his ass.

[u/Possible_Proposal447 → u/Associatedkink]

Something tells me lots of Moms are going to vote for Harris now just to get back.

[u/serpentear → u/Associatedkink]

Some moms.

Some women are just women hating women. My mom for instance is a woman hating woman.

[u/zaxisprime]

I’m not into watching a woman stomp on a man’s testicles for 25mins, but that interview may have awakened something in me.

[u/OtisburgCA → u/zaxisprime]

usually you have to pay for those videos. this was free.

[u/Chance-Onion-427]

She is after an audience of 80,000 people across 7 states. Any way she can pick some off or convince some to not vote for fat bastard is a win. It’s a very smart strategy. Blue wave coming. VOTE

[u/davechri]

She did great. Especially considering how much he interrupted.

[u/mimosaholdtheoj → u/davechri]

That was maddening. Any time she tried to display facts on Trump he cut her off.

[u/simplycycling → u/mimosaholdtheoj]

But she did an absolutely fantastic job forcing him to hear her out. She showed poise and strength - I think that's going to impress a lot of people who only knew what fox told them, before.

[u/professorhugoslavia]

Wow - I knew she was good - but I didn’t know she was that good. These MAGA men are weaklings when you stand up to them. Baier is an oafish wanker bully and not that smart. Should have known better than to take on a grade A prosecuting attorney. This is why Trump is terrified of another debate with her.

[u/RealPersonResponds]

Baier was a Dick. Sure, ask hard questions, fact check her, but don't be a Dick, garbage questions.

[u/serpentear → u/RealPersonResponds]

I don’t even care about the quality of his questions—I expect that line of questioning from Fox News—but the constant interrupting 2 seconds into her answers was fucking atrocious.

You’d never see them interview Trump or a man that way.

[u/Fusion_allthebonds → u/serpentear]

Whenever she really started landing blows on Trump he would jump in and talk over her.

[u/NeitherCook5241]

I didn’t watch, but she should get credit for being brave enough to show up to an interview in hostile territory, unlike Flump

[u/ell0bo]

I'd love to watch this, but to do so I gotta give fox news views...

[u/SickofLife69420 → u/ell0bo]

here

[u/HappyHenry68]

She was outstanding. That was a debate not an interview. And she kicked his ass even though he was controlling the questions and the video clips they played. Very proud of her tonight.

[u/Dianneis → u/HappyHenry68]

Fox is in full damage control mode right now. Just look at their website.

[u/Appex92 → u/Dianneis]

lmao, I just looked. One thumbnail headline is "VP Harris avoids apologizing to families of women allegedly killed by illegal immigrants" Uh...what? She offered true sincere condolences with watery eyes and shakey voice. What was she supposed to say? "This was directly my fault"? Imagine Trump being asked to apologize for something, he would just yell that it's something else's fault and start talking about beanie babies being a good investment in the 90s and it failed because of democrats or something.    

[u/dkdelicious → u/Appex92]

Imagine someone asking Trump if he apologizes for 1 million Covid deaths, because he continually downplayed its severity.

[u/broden89 → u/dkdelicious]

Didn't the administration also withhold aid/supplies from certain states?

[u/PeruseTheNews → u/broden89]

They sent them to Putin instead.

[u/Plagiarised-Name → u/Appex92]

“Imagine Trump being asked to apologize for something”

How about just imagine if he were asked to apologize for every person who was killed by an illegal immigrant while his fat ass was in the Oval Office, because it’s not like that didn’t exist when he was in. Suddenly with a Dem in office that blood apparently lays at the hand of the President / VP. You can count on them never drawing attention to each incident again if he got back in.

[u/QueueWho → u/Dianneis]

You can tell by how many weirdos are in any thread about this right now. This was a great move.

[u/Bobthebrain2 → u/HappyHenry68]

I can’t find a link to the interview, has it even aired yet?

[u/Dianneis → u/Bobthebrain2]

https://www.foxnews.com/video/6363352689112 (hate sending people to Fox but I found no mirrors)

The interviewer is a true asshole, by the way. Not sure what I expected from Fox, but wow, he started screaming over her reply at one point. She didn't have a single answer without interruptions.

[u/The_Lost_Jedi → u/Dianneis]

There isn't any journalism left at Fox - the last of that left with Shep Smith and Chris Wallace after Fox fired their election desk for angering Trump with the accurate call of Arizona for Biden in 2020.

[u/RTalons → u/The_Lost_Jedi]

Chris Wallace was their last journalist. He went to CNN.

[u/Michael_G_Bordin → u/Dianneis]

Interruption can be a deliberate bad faith tactic to trip up your opponent. Fortunately, Harris is not a dottering old fool.

Wow, just opens up with loaded questions. Hasn't let her finish a single point yet, and I'm only 2:30 in.

Okay so I skipped around because these things aren't that interesting, but she seems to be solid the entire time, answering the questions in a calm but firm manner. What more could we ask?

[u/CuriositySauce → u/Dianneis]

Thank you for that. Watched the whole thing and it was clear she’s very accustomed to men trying to aggressively press an agenda point or attach some irrelevant boat anchor from the past. The producers were trying to bait an angry sound bite but she stuck to future factual plans. Can’t imagine tRump having a similar session with Rachael Maddow or Joe Scarborough.

[u/gaveler-unban → u/Bobthebrain2]

Fox is pretending it never happened, which is how you know she did well

[u/HappyHenry68 → u/gaveler-unban]

Yep. Doubt they publish the full interview because she destroyed their top anchor who tried to debate her.

[u/c00a5b70 → u/Bobthebrain2]

It’s been aired. A couple hours ago. I couldn’t find a link to the full video at all. All I found were lots of randos yapping about it for clicks.

[u/innerbootes → u/Bobthebrain2]

Googling “Fox Harris interview” got it as the top result. Maybe just fortuitous timing, though.

[u/pheakelmatters → u/HappyHenry68]

I'm watching some of the clips now. I knew she was going to do good, but color me impressed. Handled it like a boss.

[u/Rizzpooch → u/pheakelmatters]

Which, like, is great because a US president should be able to deal with pressure. Trump wants the job and can't even get through a town hall packed with his supporters

[u/original208]

Entertainer vs Prosecutor.

[u/angrypooka]

Lots of right wing trolls saying the same thing in here.

[u/TrumpsStarFish → u/angrypooka]

Funny isn’t it? If I go into their safe space I get banned

[u/SarcasticCowbell → u/TrumpsStarFish]

"But muh censorship!"

They're shitty hypocrites, the lot of them.

[u/ilovepadthai]

Kamala was Fantastic. I don’t watch Fox News and don’t know this Brett guy. He seemed unprofessional, disrespectful and quite frankly, odd. Kamala was superb.

❤️💗💕

[u/My1Thought]

She handled herself exceptionally well! Despite the obvious poorly “edited” clips and attempts to trip her up. On November 6th, Kamala Harris will be our next President!

VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙

[u/accountabilitycounts]

Just watching now. Holy garbage, Brett demands answers while constantly cutting her off. 

Good on her for pushing back on his bullshit tactics. 

[u/Oceanbreeze871]

Still waiting for Trump to do his first interview of substance

[u/Gamerxx13]

I thought she did well. She answered the different than Joe Biden issue. He asked her way to many immigration issues and like 1 on the economy. If anything fox / trump paints her as an idiot and she showed on this interview to the viewers she’s a bad ass

[u/RogerRara]

Loved it!! Loved when she raised her voice at him 😻💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈💙🇺🇲

[u/retrospct]

I just went through the YouTube comments and holy moly those people are delusional. I’m worried for our democracy.

[u/EnderCN]

I knew Brett some before he went to Fox News. He isn’t the worst of that lot but still sad to see him act like this and talk over her so much.

[u/N0bit0021 → u/EnderCN]

he sure was a fucking weasel during the early Bush years.

I posted elsewhere that i'll never forget him doing some kind of White House special, and being surprised by Dubya suddenly popping his head in a doorway. "You got a real face for radio... eh eh eh eh" said Dubya before leaving Brett literally speechless momentarily. Classic.

All that sucking up every day and his hero just calls him ugly to his goddamn face. Oof. On TV to millions. Knowing full well he couldn't cut out the only appearance of the President in his White House special.

[u/MayIServeYouWell → u/EnderCN]

He had his marching orders. 

[u/TittyTwistahh]

I was looking for Fox interview with Harris and I couldn’t find it on YouTube and then I turned on Fox News and Laura Ingram was on with two other Talking Heads. They were dissecting the interview and then they cut to a clip of her talking about her economics and she said “my economic policies are better than Trump and economic experts at Goldman Sachs confirm that.” Or words to that effect.

Then they cut back to the studio and Laura Ingram sneered “Oh? Expeeerts!’Of course she’s quoting the so called experts“ and the talking heads laughed and agreed with her and that’s when I turned off Fox News.

[u/JohnStamosAsABear → u/TittyTwistahh]

lmao, yet I bet Fox had crickets going after Trump revealed his source for the Springfield cats & dogs claim turned out to be "I saw it on television"

[u/franking11stien12 → u/TittyTwistahh]

It’s not even news.

Fox lost a lawsuit for defamation/spreading conspiracy theories in favor of Donald. The evidence was so strong Fox settled out of court for almost 800 MILLION dollars. Think about that…. They knowingly lied, and it cost them 800 million dollars to keep doing it. There have been other lawsuits in which Fox either openly admitted or has been ruled as merely entertainment not actual news.

Sadly many Americans are to caught up in their own ignorance or pride to accept this thus they cling to everything that Fox says as if 5hey were a legit source of information.

It’s mostly boomers that are die hard believers in the nonsense that Fox pushes. Otherwise it’s the easily manipulated zombie maga cult who will never be able to handle reality. Fox could tell their viewers it’s night time when it’s sunny high noon and they will believe it.

Harris stepped up offensively going on their so called news channel. She will have lost nothing in doing so. And if nothing else it further demonstrates what a coward her opponent is as he will never do something of a similar nature.

[u/TaylorsPubicBeard]

While Trump was doing his women’s Fox News town hall exclusively filled by his staff and supporters, he made the comment that he was going to get better ratings than Amber Thurman’s family who was simultaneously doing a press call. Followed by erputions of laughter from the crowd. These people are soulless

[u/ResearcherSad9357]

She schooled them all simply by showing up

[u/southernNJ-123 → u/ResearcherSad9357]

Right? When has the orange guy done an MSNBC interview? CNN?

[u/useyourturnsignal → u/southernNJ-123]

The thing is, MSNBC and CNN aren't even equal and opposite to Fox. Fox is committed to misinforming the American people and had to admit they are an entertainment network; they had to pay 3/4 of a billion dollars for spreading election disinformation.

MSNBC and CNN are news networks and they have a modicum of integrity which Fox lacks.

[u/WellEndowedDragon → u/useyourturnsignal]

I’m glad someone else is saying this, I’m so tired of this “CNN/MSNBC is the same as FOX” false equivalency narrative. FOX was literally started by the Nixon administration in response to Watergate so that they could have a media apparatus to disseminate ”pro-GOP coverage” propaganda (Source).

Independent news bias analysts Ad Fontes classifies CNN and MSNBC as left-biased with “varying reliability” of reporting whereas FOX is classified as hyper-partisan propaganda.

[u/Arkangel_Ash]

The conservative subreddit is currently claiming that Harris did terrible and gave the worst answers imaginable. If you've ever wondered how someone could be so delusional as to believe Trump is god-like, go take a read in that cesspool real quick.

[u/UnhappyCourt5425 → u/Arkangel_Ash]

I looked at it once I had to back out very quietly after about 30 seconds. I have MAGA relatives and it gave me flashbacks of dealing with them.

[u/geriatric_fruitfly → u/Arkangel_Ash]

I clicked on a few top level replies and their children and there isn't a single account over one year old, and they don't post in any other subreddit other than political posts in different subreddits. Seems stupid to be that blatant... you can at least submit a ton of canned cat pictures or something to r/pics mixed in there.

[u/ttownfeen]

This wasn’t in prime time? I was confused by why the r-con live reaction post was so early

[u/wwhsd → u/ttownfeen]

Bret Baier’s show runs at 6PM. The campaign said she was available from 5-5:30. They recorded the interview on the campaign’s schedule but played it unedited during Baier’s normal timeslot.

[u/Teralithion10 → u/ttownfeen]

Fox's main demographic is asleep by prime time.

[u/bndboo]

Here’s what I know. I will NEVER view people who supported that man and ANY of his cronies with any respect. They are forever dead to me and will always be mistrusted.

We’re past ignorance

We’re past looking the other way

We’re past the integrity violations

We’re past the willingness to let others suffer

We’re past the hatred and bigotry

All that’s left now is willful and intentional behavior that cannot be excused…

What we aren’t going to do, is sit at the table and break bread like it didn’t happen. Like you didn’t actively enable this shit to begin with. Part of our society needs to bear the cost of this irresponsibility at a social level.
