Interview was exactly what I thought it was going to be. Kamala getting interviewed by the Trump campaign. She did great but it’s so infuriating to see something so blatantly obvious and unfair and treated as though it’s business as usual for both candidates.
Harris absolutely owned that interview. Excellent work.
In before the RW trolls all chime in with “America is a republic, not a democracy.”
Of course, that’s like saying “A house is a structure, not a residence.”
Whenever there’s a Democrat on Fox it’s testy. She held her own. And, Bert, it’s called an interview not an *interyou*.
My god she slayed.
They invite her to the show so they can yell their talking points at her. They’re goons. They never wanted to hear anything she had to say. She might break their enchantment on their viewers.
Trump’s base are all hooting and hollering that she tanked on Fox
Independents and undecideds, if there was even a chance they were watching, won’t think that, at all.
And when they see clips of different answers, they’ll see her not taking any shit, calling out Trump’s shit, and sounding very reasonable and adult. And dealing with a man talking over her repeatedly, trying to tell her she was wrong about this or that.
Net net: she gained voters from it, absolutely.
Let the magas high five themselves into a tizzy
Do you think this interview will change anything?
What little credibility Baier had went out the window.
I can tell she did really well during that interview because holy shit the MAGAs are coming in hot on this sub right now
She should continue to call him out when he spouts this crazy stuff. And by name. Don’t play his games.
She was incredible in that debate. Because that’s what it was. A debate, not an interview. He repeatedly ambushed her and she slayed him. No bad moments. Amazing. Pete “Fox News” Buttigeig is impressed.
I’m watching tape on YouTube with a brother that supports Trump. The comments from the MAGA crowd are incredibly and expectedly disturbing.
Why any minority (black, women, Hispanic, Jewish, gay, trans, other) would support Trump just shows how gullible many of the electorate truly are.
If you’re not white, male, and/or wealthy – supporting Trump will not gain you acceptance to Trump’s inner circle or club.
A win for Harris.
Kamala Harris held her own.
There’s literally no downside to an interview on a hostile network when turmp’s weak ass is dancing & sundowning lol
Every negative comment in articles about it is from accounts with a long history of MAGA. They were never going to think it went well or if they did they would never admit it.
She looked presidential. Book it.
Not for long if Trump gets elected…

Of course all the headlines on their website paint Harris as doing poorly.
I think she did very well…except the part where she was given the chance to call Trump voters stupid and she didn’t take the bait. Part of me wanted her to say – “YES THEY ARE” 🙂
That clip of Trump threatening to use the military against the radical left needs to be broadcast far and wide. Everyone needs to hear it. I think it really has potential to wake up some people who were planning to stay home this year, and maybe even flip some more libertarian voters who may have been third party types or considering a Trump vote.
I posted it to the RFK sub yesterday and got some reasonable reactions in between the Trump gargerlers. That place has taken a serious nosedive since Kennedy endorsed trump, but there’s still some independent minded people there who aren’t buying the Trump endorsement.
I know yall love to hate on us, but before Kennedy dropped out, there was a strong anti-trump contingent over there. Mostly actual libertarians, and Bernie types. Those people can be convinced to vote to keep Trump out by this insane rhetoric, like I was.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.salon.com/2024/10/16/this-is-a-democracy-harris-unloads-on-enemy-within-comments-during-fox-news-interview/) reduced by 58%. (I’m a bot)
*****
> The vice president railed against Donald Trump's recent comments that people opposed to his presidency represented an "Enemy within" the United States and his cavalier attitude toward calling in the military on American citizens.
> "He has talked about turning the American military on American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him," she said.
> During his own interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, the former president said that people who disagree with him have "Destroyed our country.”

According to conservatives she’s losing badly in the interview 🙄
I don’t want to sound like MAGA always complaining whenever Trump is challenged but Fox not once has ever been as hard on Trump or interrupted him the way they did with Kamala
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.
In a democracy the candidate who gets 3 million more votes than her opponent would be declared to have won the election.
Thus if the USA were a democracy then trump would never have been POTUS.
Thank god for Kamala, because if I had to field that pompous dick pimple talking down to and over a presidential candidate and existing VICE PRESIDENT, there would be blood stains where Bret was.
Bret Baier selectively clipped that Trump comment by the way. He repeated the comment that they were the enemy within before pivoting to what they shared. Literally, in the same interview, on the same question a few seconds earlier. Un-fucking-real. Fox News is a trash organization

I fucking loved that she brought up Trump tanking the Iran nuclear deal for literally no god damn gain. It was one of the dumber moments of the Trump administration and that’s saying a lot.
I tried to watch the whole interview, but he was so rude!
Let the woman finish answering the question! 😡
Kamala Harris is the president America deserves. Vote for Harris, let’s be great again, together.
Brett Baier was borderline disrespectful in this interview and Kamala did great.
Orange Man would never do an interview like this.
That should be enough evidence alone, but the R crowd lives in their own universe.
Just watched the interview. She steamrolled that misogynistic oaf of an interviewer as he attempted again and again to interrupt her. Very strong interview for Harris.
Harris went on Fox. Now let’s see Trump hobble out of his tiny safe space to face reality. He won’t do it.
Hell yeah! Keep kicking ass Harris! She’s doing great and it’s awesome to see her be so presidential!
I watched the whole interview and Harris was great! She really got serious about the danger of Trump and really hit it hard. Can’t wait to vote for her!
Hold up. Harris releases her medical records AND doesn’t dance on stage for 40 mins during the interview on FOX NEWS of all places to avoid Brett Baier’s questions?
What is she hiding? Is it high cholesterol? Dementia? Severe cognitive decline? Incontinence due to decades of amphetamine abuse? Syphilitic paresis? Small hand syndrome?
Could you imagine if Trump had to do an interview similar to this? He doesn’t want to have basic fact checking. Could you imagine an interview where Trump went on MSNBC that essentially was a sequence of pure gotcha questions setup by hand picked propaganda, and even used clips from the opponent to defend against attacks. This wasn’t even an “interview” really, it was closer to a debate. Fox representing Trump and debating Harris. There wasn’t even an attempt at neutrality and more than half the questions were only met to feed the fox talking points. She handled herself well considering.
JFC she was constantly interrupted in that interview
I wish there was a different answer for “are the MAGAS stupid?!” when he asked her that
I wanted to hear something along the lines of “no, they’re not stupid. They’re victims of the most sophisticated billionaire funded misinformation campaign in the history of this planet. These people work their asses off on their farms and in factories, come home to their families and don’t want to do PHD level poli-sci to unravel the lies. Their local news is infiltrated, their social media is compromised, and they are too overworked to go toe to toe with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel’s campaign of corruption and misinformation every day. They’re victims of widespread lies that need a felony classification for law enforcement to go after”
And instead we got “Trump is the one who says stuff like that, not me.” Which was fine, but cmon.
I’m still stunned that they thought presenting bad evidence to a former Prosecutor would somehow fly.
Seriously. There was zero way she was going to let that fly. They basically gift-wrapped that moment for her, thinking they could just push on to the next topic and she’d have to leave it there.
No, it’s a republic!

Fox is a shit station that all the magats listen to. Fox has zero credibility and simply exists to create Trump’s alternate universe. Fox does not report the news truthfully – they all work for Trump and only Trump. Harris took the time to do the interview but we all know it’s difficult to penetrate those magats who are so gullible and so brainwashed by a demented sick evil being.
Fox News really tried to push their made up number and talking points
