And it took him less than 20 seconds to interrupt her for the first time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">\u201cYou have to let me finish, please,\u201d Harris said during the exchange on immigration. \u201cI\u2019m in the middle of responding to the point you\u2019re raising, and I\u2019d like to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">As the interview progressed, Baier eventually noted during a constant back-and-forth moment, \u201cWe\u2019re talking over each other.\u201d Overall, he interrupted Harris at least 38 times in 27 minutes, although he did offer an apology at one point.<\/p>\n<h2>Harris Tries to Distance Herself from Joe Biden\u2026 A Bit<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">Baier\u2019s questions primarily focused on immigration and border security, examining how President<a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong> Joe Biden<\/strong><\/a> and Harris have handled these issues during their administration. However, Harris seized the opportunity to make her clearest effort yet to distinguish herself from Biden.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">\u201cMy presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden\u2019s presidency. Like every new president who comes into office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh, new ideas,\u201d Harris stated. \u201cI represent a new generation of leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Harris Mentions Republicans Endorsing Her\u2026 A Lot<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-11\">Harris ventured onto the openly pro-Trump network with the mission of reaching moderate Republicans, having earlier appeared alongside more than 100 Republicans, including former Trump administration officials who have endorsed her.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-12\">She seized every opportunity to highlight those endorsements and made sure to reference Trump\u2019s recent remarks about Democrats being \u201cthe enemy within.\u201d He has also suggested he might need to use the military to deal with that \u201cenemy.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title \/\/ a-font-primary-xl lrv-u-margin-tb-1\">Baier Tries to Bait Harris<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-13\">After Harris noted that former Trump administration officials have claimed Trump is unfit for office, Baier seemed determined to elicit a sound bite from her. He asked if potential voters were \u201cmisguided\u201d if the \u201cunfit\u201d Trump was leading her in some swing states.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-14\">\u201cWhy, if he\u2019s as bad as you say, is half of this country now supporting this person who could be the 47th president of the United States?\u201d he pressed, to which Harris replied that elections were never meant to be easy. Baier then interjected, \u201cSo are they misguided, the 50%? Are they stupid?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cOh god, I would never say that about the American people,\u201d Harris replied. However, she did reference someone else.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title \/\/ a-font-primary-xl lrv-u-margin-tb-1\">Baier Makes a Mistake With Trump Clips<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-15\">On the question of who is regularly demeaning Americans, Baier called for a clip of Trump\u2019s earlier interview with Fox News\u2019 <strong>Harris Faulkner<\/strong>, in which Trump referred to Democrats as \u201cthe enemy within.\u201d However, the wrong soundbite aired\u2014one in which Trump insisted he wasn\u2019t threatening anyone.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-16\">Harris responded, \u201cBret, I\u2019m sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the enemy within, that he has repeated when he\u2019s speaking about the American people. That\u2019s not what you just showed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-17\">\u201cI\u2019m telling you that was the question that we asked him,\u201d Baier countered after being called out.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-18\">The next day, during a discussion with Faulkner and <strong>Harold Ford Jr.<\/strong>, Baier admitted, \u201cI did make a mistake, and I want to say I did make a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-19\">\u201cWhen I called for a soundbite, I was expecting a piece of the \u2018enemy from within\u2019 from Maria Bartiromo\u2019s interview, to be tied to the piece from your town hall, Harris, where you ask the former president about the enemy from within. It just had the piece about the town hall,\u201d Baier added. In that town hall with women voters, Trump had reiterated, \u201cIt is the enemy from within, and they are very dangerous; they are Marxists and communists and fascists and they\u2019re sick.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/kamala-harris-bret-baier-interview-highlights-5330593\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Here are the highlights from the nearly 30-minute interview.
