Vice President Kamala Harris took center stage during a recent interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, a spectacle that left viewers questioning not only her grasp of basic policies but also whether or not she was taking the interview seriously. Coming off as more combative than composed, Harris seemed to navigate the conversation with the finesse of a cat on a hot tin roof, evading straightforward answers at every turn.
When Baier pressed her about the dismal border policies under the current administration, Harris predictably pointed fingers at former President Trump, as if her own administration’s policies didn’t exist. It appears that four years in office hasn’t granted her the foresight to understand that the buck stops with her and President Biden. Instead, she deflected responsibility, and when pressed about the tragic deaths of young women due to illegal immigration, her strategy was to pivot back to the past. Curious that someone in her position could be so adept at dodging responsibility.
Kamala bombed so badly during her Fox News interview that her aids started frantically waving their hands from the sidelines demanding that Bret Baier end the interview IMMEDIATELY!

Further digging into her past statements, Baier challenged her on her previous endorsement for taxpayer-funded transition surgeries for transgender inmates. In a classic move of deflection, she announced a commitment to “follow the law,” while somehow claiming that Trump was behind such policies. If that wasn’t enough, she doubled down by noting that she’s a stickler for rules, a rather underwhelming defense considering the far-ranging implications of her policy stances.
It’s mind-boggling that during a discussion about immigration, she could dismiss questions about her prior endorsements for illegal immigrants to access various taxpayer-funded benefits, invoking a time frame that seems irrelevant to those potential policies still being promoted by the administration. Her responses reflected a remarkable lack of accountability for past statements while also hinting at a bewildering disconnect with the current state of public sentiment—75% of Americans thinking the country is on the wrong track didn’t faze her in the slightest.
Baier threw one last grenade her way, inquiring when she first noticed her boss was suffering from cognitive decline. In a predictable twist, Harris followed the same dysfunctional playbook, tying Trump back into the narrative instead of confronting the elephant in the room. It’s undeniable that the interview showcased Harris as unprepared but highly skilled in playing the blame game. If this is the direction the Biden administration wants to head in, they might want to consider rebranding “leading from the front” to “leading from behind—and definitely out of touch.”
As if to punctuate her unimpressive performance, Harris arrived at the interview a staggering 15 minutes late, demonstrating yet again that time management is clearly not her strong suit. The entire affair left Baier wishing for more airtime to delve into the plethora of unanswered questions, solidifying the impression that Harris is a masterful balancer of evasion and indignation, all while seemingly unaware of the genuine concerns of the American people.
