The Bret Baier Fox News interview with Kamala Harris finally revealed Harris for what she is: a Post Turtle.
Hear me out. The long-standing political description compares a person in a particular position to a turtle found on top of a post. You know the turtle did not get there by herself, is unable to function in that position, and simply doesn’t belong there. It also creates a compelling interest in finding out who put that turtle on that post in the first place.
We pretty much know how Harris got into her extraordinary position, but that only makes our situation worse because it wasn’t just some random person. A major political party decided that this was just fine if it gets them what they want. There are clearly monumental problems if Harris wins the race, but the damage that is done in the process that led us to this point in the first place is gobsmacking.
At some point, after giving someone all the benefits of the doubt, people accept reality. They believe what it is they’re seeing and hearing no matter the insistence by legacy media that we should not trust our lying eyes. No matter the spin and gaslighting, Harris’s interview with Baier, when assessed by history, will be considered the moment of no return for the first Democrat nominee stuck on a post.
After enjoying a slight lead over Donald Trump, the Harris camp suddenly saw their numbers dwindle as Trump caught up and took the lead in the swing states. Realizing that the basement campaign was no longer working, suddenly the woman who thought she could fake her way into the White House was feigning to do interviews. She sat down with CBS, The View, Howard Stern, and a podcast titled “Call Her Daddy.” The interviews were obviously supportive or, in the CBS case, infamously edited to help the candidate appear coherent.
Then, surprisingly, it was announced she would be sitting down for her first interview with Fox News. Bret Baier would lead the conversation. After clearly having made a commitment to say and do as little as possible believing that the legacy media and the system would usher her into the White House just as they made her the nominee, something has gone terribly bad for them. So bad that she was willing to sit down with Fox News.
Being an eternal optimist, I believed that Harris would suddenly appear on Bret Baier as a functional, coherent person, with ideas and a vision. I was wrong. Harris was even more awful than I imagined was possible. Her goal was to filibuster Bret, not answer any questions, and blame Trump for everything.
Harris and her team arrived late to the taped interview which was done just before Baier’s live program. Baier was persistent, cool, and collected. Harris was not. The interview was such a catastrophe for her that her team in the studio began to insist it end, a fact revealed by Baier in a post-interview exchange with his panel.
David Sacks, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and supporter of Donald Trump, calls Harris’s current situation a “doom loop.” Her polling is suffering because she was avoiding interviews because she’s so bad at them, forcing her to come out of the basement to do the interviews which makes things worse for her.
There are a multitude of stories about exactly what went wrong for her. The word salads, refusal to answer questions directly, her general confusion which often would evolve into anger and agitation. All of this prompted the satirical website The Babylon Bee’s headline “Harris Complains She Was Not Informed The Interview Would Include Questions.”
Exactly how vapid, evasive, and dumb were her answers? Consider this gem:
Baier: “In 2019, you supported allowing illegals to apply for drivers’ licenses, qualify for free tuition at universities, and get free healthcare. Do you still support those things?”
KAMALA: “That was five years ago…”
What exactly does it mean to explain or defend or reject a position you took on a serious issue by noting that it was five years ago? Is she implying that because time has passed she doesn’t believe in that anymore? Is she suggesting that she was a clueless child 5 years ago? None of it makes sense, a sentiment that is relevant to the way she responded to Baier’s questions.
Her entire approach has exposed the sniveling derision and contempt with which she holds us. Normally avoided by candidates, throughout these few months Harris’s goal has been to be as empty a suit as possible.
Now and then, there’s a singular moment in a presidential campaign that defines so distinctly that the campaign is effectively over. Harris is the latest presidential candidate to experience that.
Who can forget 1988, Michael Dukakis in his helmet in a tank? It became an iconic moment that he could not escape. To this day it stands as an avatar for that failed campaign.
Earlier this year, Joe Biden failed so dramatically in his performance during his one debate with Donald Trump, that the Democrats pulled him as the candidate. Trump won the race that night, and the Democrats knew it. So they decided to throw Biden under the bus.
For Walter Mondale, the moment occurred in his second 1984 debate with President Ronald Reagan. Fighting a whisper campaign about his advancing age, Reagan uttered the unforgettable line that he would “not hold his opponent’s youth and inexperience against him.” Laughter bellowed from the audience and Mondale himself. He told a reporter years later that he knew the moment he stepped off that stage that his campaign was over.
With the media’s aid, and not having to perform throughout a primary season, Kamala Harris enjoyed the stunned reaction by voters to being swapped in as the nominee. Americans love a good story and we love underdogs, but we also love our families and our country. Most of us may be regular, working-class people, but we’re not stupid. The longer Harris plays word games and refuses to be serious about the issues, the more it appears she is hiding something.
No matter the Kamala interview or appearance, the dance to evade and distract is the same. To see a woman who is running for president be so publicly revealed as a vacuous fraud is frightening and depressing. A few times during the Baier interview, you can see the panic alight in Harris’s face when asked a question that was basic, predictable, and obvious in its necessity. The fact that she has been elevated to such a powerful and remarkable position is a stunning indictment of just how corrupt and broken our system has truly become.
Tammy Bruce, an Independent Conservative, has traversed a unique political journey that reflects her commitment to principles rather than party affiliations. She joined Fox News in 2005 as a Political Contributor, hosting her show “Get Tammy Bruce” on Fox Nation and providing insightful commentary on various issues for the Association for Mature Americans (AMAC).
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of AMAC or AMAC Action.
The FOX interview didn’t highlight anything new, contrary to what the author of this article might think. Harris didn’t say or act much differently from any of the other so-called interviews she’s done since being anointed the Democrat candidate for POTUS a few months back. She spewed nonsense and incoherent word salad for about 25 minutes and then ran off, because she can’t tell the public what she and the Democrat Party honestly plan to do if she and Walz are ever installed in the Oval Office.
After all, she can’t very admit that she and the Democrat Party plan to quickly neutralize the Supreme Court by packing it with several more committed leftists like Brown or Sotomayor. Thus, turning the SC into a rubber stamp for the left. Nor can she talk about the Democrat plan to get rid of the Senate filibuster and admit both the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as two new states with four brand new Democrat Senators plus additional House members. All of the Democrat agenda is about a massive power grab and consolidating Democrat control of the country for perpetuity. So, the only option for her is the nonsense she is already doing.
What was actually different from all the other interviews was that the interviewer WASN’T already in the tank for the candidate and was willing to ask the sort of questions that ALL of the so-called interviewers should have been asking both Biden and Harris for the last 3 1/2 years. That it took months after Kamala was anointed as Biden’s replacement to agree to even speak with anyone from the media that is NOT a shill for the Democrat Party is the real story. That the American people have stood for this sort of nonsense from the MSM and the Democrat Party for well over four years, going all the way back to allowing Old Joe, the dementia patient, to run a carefully choreographed campaign for POTUS from his basement in 2019 right up through his time in the White House, is the real tragedy for the United States and the rest of the world. Harris is merely an extension of the same game plan by the left. So much needless pain, death and destruction could have been avoided over the last 3 1/2 years if only the American people had not stood for this. We truly do live in interesting times and that of course isn’t a compliment.
No matter what, vote for Trump, because the alternative under Harris / Walz will be far worse than anything you’ve experienced under Biden / Harris.
Kamala Harris does not have an original thought on anything, a complete MORON. If you vote for this idiot you are a MORON too.
Komando Kamala showed her true ignorance of what she really knows and doesn’t know. Why in the world should I pay out of my tax dollars for some law breaker in prison to have a sex change? She is TOTALLY stupid in how she thinks!!!! Let her pay for them!!!! She wants tax payers to pay to destroy children’s bodies with sex change drugs & surgeries, I do not agree with this. She wants to murder babies even after they r born – that is MURDER!!!! She will pay in hell for every dead baby she has caused…. And every child being abused bc of stupid laws she has passed
I have never seen such an incompetent boob dare to aspire to the most important and influential job on the planet. Harris clearly is not capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of the “post”. For this post turtle, the only way down is to fall. But wait–can’t democrats fly? They think they can! Back to reality, someone should tell her she’s not as great as she thinks she is. Reminds me of the Dr. Seuss story, Yertle the Turtle.
If her amateurish performance in Baier’s interview is any indication of the professionalism we can expect when she’s faced with issues of global impact, we can also expect chaos, delays, absences, friendly nations turning their backs on us…in other words, instant persona non grata. We can’t let that happen, and it won’t…if every one of us gets out and votes!!
yada,yada, yada. Same old mantra from the globalists. The democrats lie about everything all the time. They don’t even care if people know they’re lying. It’s vile and pathetic and the only people who refuse to see that are the people who have drank the progressive kool aid.
Harris is not qualified to be President and has committed treason and should be sent to prison. Perhaps that’s why Harris refuses to answer a question or take any responsibility for the failures of the Biden/Harris administration.
On this date Oct 19th 1781,General Cornwallis surrendered his sword at Yorktown VA.The greatest army in the world had been defeated by a ragtag bunch of FREEDOM and LIBERTY and GOD loving patriots led by George Washington.Vote for Trump in their memory.
I implore members of the electorate that are still undecided to STOP habitually voting for ALL liberals in general, DemocRATS in particular, and “progressive” or “woke” candidates for ANY elected office whether local, state, or federal! I challenge any political “fence-straddlers” to have the courage to genuinely LEARN about true conservatives, and their positions on critical issues, before casting your ballot. You may not care for former President Trump due to personality traits, something he said in the past, or because of some alleged past indiscretion. Get over yourselves. Vote RED, across the ballot, or we will lose our country! MAGA 2024
Is there an interview that would shake America to complete wakefulness?What must she say, to convince people she is not up to the county clerk job, president of the Unite States? Maybe on Monty Python
“The fact that she has been elevated to such a powerful and remarkable position is a stunning indictment of just how corrupt and broken our system has truly become.”
No, Tammy, it is not our system that is broken, it is rather that the Democrat Party of yore has morphed into the Progressive-Socialist Party. Long-entrenched politicians, who waved the Democrat flag, have thrown it in the dumpster and boarded the bus bound for the “fundamental transformation” of America. They’d rather throw the country and its citizens under the bus to keep their cushy jobs than fight for the traditions that made America the envy of the world.
It is the Progressive-Socialist Overlords – behind the scenes Fascist Globalists – that are calling the shots, and have been at least since the scam that was Barack Hussein Obama. They are the ones who pulled the plug on Biden and went with Puppet #2, Kamala Harris, and did another Obama-like construct to fool the politically deaf, dumb, & blind public. Let’s hope it doesn’t work this time.
Various Republican leaders confidently say that the American people are not stupid and that they have confidence in their ability to make good decisions based on the facts. I disagree. A good percentage of the voters, somewhere around 45%, have seen that Harris is pretty stupid, phony, and valueless, if not in the last two months of her “campaign,” then certainly in this interview, and yet they will still vote for her. It should be obvious that she would be a disaster for this nation and our standing in the world, and yet close to 50% of the voters will choose Harris because she is a Democrat and she isn’t Trump. That is truly stupid, but they did the same thing with Biden for the last four years. No, I do NOT have confidence in the common sense and the good judgement of a large swath of the American people, and that ignores the other elephant in the room of massive Democrat cheating that has been going on for decades, and will again in November. These two issues keep me awake at night.
It is truly frightening that half of the voters in America seem to be gullible enough to actually vote for this fraud of a candidate. How did we get here? Perhaps American democrats will learn, to late, the genuine pitfalls of socialism once they have suffered under it for 4 years.
she is a complete fake and the worst possible candidate and president elect again all of constitutional admendments including the second amendment! She is a lot worse than Biden ever was on our 2nd amendment as when she was DA in San Francisco she proposed a law to come in unannounced at your home and randomly check your home and see if your guns are properly stored and if they are not there would be more legal actions against you! If the 2nd amendment fails the rest of them follow and we have no rights at all! Look a dictatorship and communism countries as the first thing they did to completely control the people is to take away all firearms and the people will be controlled!Nothing new when it comes to her she has nothing to say just very mad when she was asked questions she did not want to answer same old same old out of her mouth and of course everything about President Trump that he is the fault of everything but she was so great these last 3 1/2 years along with do nothing Biden.
Harris is not a functional coherent person. She has demonstrated this several times. But we have that now. Let’s hope we can get by a little longer.
The highlight of the interview for me was Kamala’s inadvertent confession that “you have to take responsibility for the actions of your administration”… of course when she said it she meant Trump not her. They’ve got nothing! The interview proved it and her current rant proves it: Trump is”exhausted”? Let’s see her do three rallies in three states in two days sometimes!
Appointocrats no longer democrats
or hamassocrats
or cencorcrats
We still have no reason for why joe dropped out. If it were reasonablevlike im getting to old to keep up physically they would have told us everyone would understand thats reasonable. That didnt happen which makes me think it was more nefarious. Joe snapped at obam for tellingvhim to do something as he has been obamas puppet, do obsma laid down the hammer. Leave or ill expose mental decline snd pull25th. So joe just stepped aside and America, changed as it is just goes along media just stays silent our head of dtate is mentally unable to do the job. The party comittee makes all decisions now. If God forbid kamsla gets in she will be the new compliant puppet.
Thank Lenin, Marx, Stalin, Wilson and Dewey for 81 million voting idiots.
‘No one told me interviews would have “Questions .”’
I suppose when she says words approximating, “Excuse me, I am talking here”, she is exhibiting strength and command, not just BS. Sounds like Dumbassocrat BS to me; as in, don’t let anyone else get a word in edgewise, thereby talking above everyone else, appearing to be in “command”.
The Thing that I wished People would Wake Up to is that Our Present Government is Not Only Corrupt, it’s backed by Organized Crime, it’s filled with Politicians that are outright Communist, Berny Sanders is One of many, Biden / Harris from their Words and Actions prove they are as Well .. Stupid People that Quit educating themselves after High School are partly the Blame for these Communist being in Office, I have Never Stopped educating myself after learning How to Be from going to School and between researching Our History, Present Government and reading and Understanding God’s Word on Our Demise I See Clearly how Satan is Working through the DNC Party / Elites / Shadow Government to Literally “DESTROY” Our Freedoms, Our Livlihood’s / Money, Our Children, Our Nation, Our Strength in Being Self Reliant and Independent, and being Satan’s Children they will STOP at NOTHING, NO MATTER what the COST to Totally CONTROL Everything and Everyone .. This is DEMONIC, “LIGHT VS DARKNESS” “GOOD VS EVIL” “HOLYNESS VS WICKEDNESS” .. We have Allowed “Communist / Demonic Souls” to Enter into Our Federal Government and They will Kill Anyone that “Stands” in Their Way to be in CONTROL ….
Seth Richards, Sonny Bono, and Thousands of Others, and Now Donald J. Trump is in their SIGHTS, X2 .. “One Nation Under God / In God We Trust” These are today just WORDS to these UNEDUCATED Young People that are in Satan’s Public Schools System, WHY Else wouldn’t The Democratic Party Back TRUMP when he wanted to Give The People a Choice in “PRIVATE VS PUBLIC”
They Couldn’t Be INDOCUNATED or BRAINWASHEWD if They Had That OPTION ?
I’m still undecided on who I’m voting for.
If Trump calls Biden and concedes the 2020 election, I will vote for him.
If Trump fails to do so, I will vote for Kamala.
It is Trump’s choice.
