Social media explodes after Kamala Harris' 'total trainwreck' interview
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The contentious high-drama interview between Fox News anchor Bret Baier and Vice President Kamala Harris drew immediate attention and reactions online after it aired on Wednesday night.

Baier tried to press Harris on a number of key issues but the vice president protested that he needed to let her finish her answers to the questions.

Meanwhile she tore into Donald Trump for being totally 'unfit to serve' as president for a second term because he's 'dangerous.'

It was a contentious 30 minutes as the current VP worked to distance herself from Biden, saying her presidency would not 'be a continuation' while defending the administration's policies.

The first testy moment started after a brawl over the Biden-Harris administration immigration policies.

Kamala Harris just ran into a Bret Baier buzzsaw when asked about the number of illegal aliens in the country,' wrote conservative communicator Steve Guest as the interview aired.

Baier's interview style drew praise from former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly.

'Bret is crushing this and she is incapable of defending her deadly border policies,' she wrote.

Meanwhile, supporters of Harris accused Fox News of conducting an 'ambush' interview and argued that she did well.

'Kamala Harris (strong) handled an ambush Fox interview light years better than the hash Donald Trump (unstable) made of the Fox pep rally disguised as a town hall,' Harris campaign advisor David Plouffe wrote on X.com.

Baier said on Fox News after the interview that Harris and her team arrived late to the interview and cut it short of what they agreed to.

'We were supposed to start at 5:00 p.m. ... originally we were going to do 25 or 30 minutes, it came in and said well maybe 20. So, already getting whittled down, then the vice president showed up about 5:15 p.m.' Baier said.

#2 This interview may have been the final nail in the Harris coffin.

#3 Think of the positive aspect: Kamala proves that CCP is NOT in control of USA - they wouldn't employ somebody that stupid.

#4 /\ She brings the DEI creds. CCP decision making is handled by the Minnesota frequent traveler.

Walmart, Target, Huawei, and GE and in no danger of shuttering.

#5 She was more focused on being combative than persuasive. I doubt the interview changed any minds in her favor.

#6 Baier gave her the same treatment Trump and Vance had been getting. Thought he did fine. Unfortunately for Harris, Baier's a bit more passive demeanor was a high contrast to Harris' aggressive defense. Bet that's how she treats her staff.

If this was the desired outcome, if the plan was to 'go into the lion's den and be Trumpian', that was not a great plan.

That's like having me pinch hit in the 9th with the game on the line, and thinking I can convince the pitcher I'm a deep ball threat by sticking a bunch of gum in my mouth and doing some bat dance.

#7 Whatever it is, it's all Trump's fault. He's unstable and he's gonna send the 101st Airborne Division to arrest Kathy Griffin!!!

#9 Ugh. Into the Lion's Den is exactly how they are trying to frame it. So stunning! So Brave!

So predictably stupid. Mark Steyn or Tucker Carlson, sure, but Team Harris throwing in the towel with Brett Baier? All he did was hold to the question, as uncomfortable as that was, it wasn't aggressive and witty cross-examination or, as in the 3v1 Trump Harris debate, constant hen pecking and right out lying.

#10 She was so punchy by the end, you'd think she was dating Emhoff.
