Vice President Kamala Harris’ interview with Bret Baier on Fox News last night was one of her most deceptive and opaque interviews to date. It’s been 88 days since Harris became the Democratic nominee, and she still hasn’t shown transparency and authenticity. Americans are demanding.
In an interview last night, Ms. Harris dodged questions, blaming Mr. Trump for all the accomplishments of her three-and-a-half years in office and offering no policy solutions or concrete plans to rebuild the country.

Bret Baier, FOX News’ chief political anchor, began the interview with a question about illegal immigration. Top question American voters care about that. Mr. Baier asked Ms. Harris how many illegal immigrants she had released into the country since she took office. It’s a neutral and clean-cut way to begin an interview aimed at providing the public with answers in the remaining days before Election Day.
Mr. Byer’s question has a very clear answer. Over 10 million illegal immigrants They have been in the country since Kamala Harris became president. Instead of acknowledging that proven fact and diving into much-needed solutions to fix the products of incompetence that have permeated our nation’s governance over the past three and a half years, Ms. Harris quickly dodged the question. , made commonplace and broad platitudes about how to do so. “Immigration issues are important.”
Even to those unfamiliar with Harris’ history of deception, this response seemed disingenuous. Harris was in a corner where she had to take responsibility for the unprecedented scale of devastation resulting from the border crisis she had caused. entrusted with border managementAnd there was not a shred of sincerity or humility in her response.
Immigration is the biggest failure of Kamala Harris’ career so far, and the American people are tired of this lack of responsibility. From 2021 onwards, 400 immigrants People whose names appear on terror watch lists have been arrested across the border in the southwest and north. multinational gang Like MS-13 and Torren de Aragua, they wreaked havoc on nearly every city and community in the country. over 200,000 Americans He died from poisoning caused by fentanyl being smuggled across the border by a criminal drug cartel. More than 50,000 people arrested It is made up of illegal immigrants with criminal records.
These statistics are devastating to say the least, and every time Ms. Harris was confronted with these statistics last night, she changed her mind to Mr. Trump.
So far, Harris has offered no single answer as to what led to the worst border crisis in U.S. history, nor a single solution for how to deal with it. If Kamala Harris can’t even admit to direct, factual questions about her record on illegal immigration, that’s proven to be the case. Less than 30 minutes after the interview startedin which case it should be an immediate disqualification.
The fact of the matter is “I’m really sorry to have lost her.” Harris’ response to Baier showing footage of the mother of illegal immigrant murder victim Jocelyn Nungarai is far from enough to atone for the tragedy the victim’s family has had to endure.
Baier also asked Harris about what he’s been up to lately. flip flop about her stance on decriminalize border crossing and Give illegal immigrants driver’s licensesHarris’ only response was, “I believe in enforcing the law.” Not only is that statement false, but it’s also an egregious avoidance of an important question.
After 13 minutes of deceptive and evasive responses on immigration, Americans still have no answers about what Harris will actually do to solve the border crisis.
The second half of Ms. Harris’ interview last night was largely characterized by a constant focus on Mr. Trump and his persona. On the topic of the economy, Mr. Baier asked Ms. Harris why she thought Americans spoke out on economic issues. I trust Trump more than her.to which she responded with an attack on President Trump. “Rhetoric and divisive policies”
No strategist or scholar qualified to objectively analyze economic problems has identified the causes of the current failing economy, especially the abnormal rate of inflation. 9.1%, the highest level in 40 yearsto Trump’s rhetoric. Throughout the interview, Harris did not mention a single policy she would implement to solve the economic crisis. “We will work with small and medium-sized enterprises.” It means nothing to the millions of Americans whose businesses have suddenly closed. unprecedented speed Under the Biden-Harris administration.
On the question of Biden’s ability to govern the country, Baier asked Harris when she first noticed that Biden’s mental capacity seemed to be declining. Mr. Harris responded: “Joe Biden has the judgment and experience to do exactly what he has done in making important decisions about the American people.” Harris again dodged the question and turned the topic to Trump. Zero answers as to why Harris? led the cover-up It shows that Biden’s mental and physical condition is clearly deteriorating.
79 percent of Americans believe the country is on the wrong path. Mr. Trump is currently Defeat Harris In the latest opinion poll.
The American people see through Harris’ shameless intentions to gaslight even Democrats who want to vote for her. Last night’s Fox News interview was just the latest example of Ms. Harris’ unwillingness to acknowledge the widespread devastation occurring under her failed leadership or answer related questions. Harris’ default tactic is to pivot to Trump, the top Democratic talking point.
Over the past few weeks, Mr. Harris has found himself caught in a web of lies and contradictions. During an interview last night, Harris claimed that her administration: It will not be a continuation of the Biden administration.
But when Harris was asked a few days ago on The View if she would act differently than Biden, she said: “Nothing comes to mind.”
Ironically, this may have been Harris’ most sincere response yet.
Actually, at this point, this is the only The answers Americans need when they go to the polls on November 5th. The reality is that Kamala Harris has no answers. Because she is a puppet of a well-oiled political machine of the radical left intent on destroying America.
