When it was first announced that Vice President Kamala Harris agreed to a sit-down interview with Fox News, there were questions about what the intended outcome might have been, and what Harris might have expected to gain from what was going to be an interview far more adversarial than she is accustomed to. After watching the interview, it is clear that she did not expect to be asked tough questions.

The interview was contentious from the very beginning, and began with immigration. The first question was on whether Harris knew how many illegal migrants were released into the interior. 

THIS was how the @BretBaier interview with Kamala Harris started.

Baier: “You know, voters tell pollsters all over the country and here in Pennsylvania that immigration is one of the key issues they are looking at this election ans specifically the influx of illegal immigrants… pic.twitter.com/ENNrEVmmTI

Harris was rattled both by Bret Baier’s question, and by his refusal to allow her to non-respond with talking point word salad. Baier’s followup drilled deeper, with a focus on heinous crimes committed by illegal migrants. Harris wants to deflect to the dead-on-arrival comprehensive immigration bill filed on Inauguration Day, and on the failed Senate bill. 

.@BretBaier: When you came into office, your administration immediately reversed a number of Trump border policies. Most significantly, the policy that required illegal immigrants to be detained through deportation, either in the U.S. or in Mexico and you switched that policy.… pic.twitter.com/IEYTxAASTW

Baier killed the talking point on the Senate bill by pointing out that six Democrats opposed the bill. He then pivots to saying the names of Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin and Laken Riley, who were brutally murdered by illegal migrants. 

OMG this question from @BretBaier and talking points from Kamala about illegal immigrant crime victims:

Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, Lake Riley, they are young women brutally assaulted and killed by some of the men who were released at the beginning of the administration,… pic.twitter.com/rOPSDH05kF

Harris word-saladed Baier’s first attempt at extracting an apology. Baier had a clip with testimony from Nungaray’s mother, which got a ghoulish response: “I’m sorry” followed by a pivot back to Trump and the failed border deal.

This was incredible work by @BretBaier to have a clip ready, amid a Kamala Harris word salad blaming Donald Trump for the border crisis, to queue up of an Angel Mom ripping the Biden-Harris administration.

Kamala’s reaction? Soulless.

Harris: I will tell you that I am so sorry… pic.twitter.com/TQCxfAEaRM

Baier then proceeds to confront Harris with her policy proposals from her 2019 campaign. Here she reverted to her prosecutorial word salad.

.@BretBaier ran through the list of immigration policies Kamala Harris espoused in her 2019 campaign. Harris never gave a definitive explanation for a single one.

Baier: “There is a lot of people look back what you said 2019 when you first ran for president and there have been… pic.twitter.com/VJn07oCzKC

Baier moves on from immigration, and asks Harris another question that she hadn’t seen so far in the cycle: on her support for using taxpayer dollars on sex change surgeries for inmates while serving as California Attorney General. During this combative exchange, Harris coughed up what might be a campaign-breaking quote: “You gotta take responsibility for what happened in your administration.”

Wow. This section on transgenderism was another dodge for Kamala Harris.

.@BretBaier: So, are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates to detained illegal aliens on inmates to transgender?

Harris: I will follow a law and it’s a law that Donald Trump… pic.twitter.com/4PxwpyiYhY

At this stage of the game, “what would you do differently from Joe Biden” should not come as a surprise. And yet, Harris had no real answer:

Kamala Harris still doesn't have an actual answer for what she'd do differently as president than Joe Biden. pic.twitter.com/TWMEJBmjAo

Drilling down, Baier challenges Harris on her “turn the page” talking point. More word salad.

.@BretBaier: Your campaign slogan is a new way forward and it’s time to turn the page. You have been Vice President for three and a half years, so, what are you turning the page from?

Kamala Harris: Well, first of all, turning the page from the last decade in which we have been… pic.twitter.com/RI2fKPatiM

Another brutal exchange was on 79% of Americans thinking the country is on the wrong track. 

If you only watch one clip of the @BretBaier-Kamala Harris interview, it's this one....

Here’s another question Team Harris should’ve totally expected: the question about what she knew regarding President Joe Biden’s declining mental and physical faculties.

WATCH: Here was the full @BretBaier-Kamala Harris exchange on what she knew about Joe Biden's declining mental and physical fitness to be president..

Baier: You called Donald Trump — he’s misguided. You say now he —

Kamala Harris: He is unstable.

Harris’s frustrations boiled over and it shows:

Kamala Harris almost snaps at @BretBaier at the end of perhaps the first grueling, hardball interview she’s ever had to face....

Baier: We are talking over each other, I apologize.

Harris: Well, and I — and I —

Baier: But you’re not —

Harris: — I would like that we would… pic.twitter.com/xZMnAeJBqf

The interview ends with Baier letting everybody know that Harris campaign staff was desperately trying to wave him off of her. Total train wreck.

HAHAHA the way Bret Baier ended his Kamala Harris interview was just spectacular.

Baier: I hope you got to say what you wanted to say about Donald Trump. There are a lot of things that —

Harris: There’s more to say. I — I have much —

Bret Baier gave a masterclass of an interview to someone unaccostumed to having to answer tough questions outside of the respective liberal bubbles of D.C. and Califormia. In so doing, he further exposed the sycophancy of the Regime Media.

Harris came into this interview hoping for more exposure to those unfamiliar with her ahead of a pivotal voting decision. Unfortunately, she got it.
