Dope1: ROTFL. Had trouble with the very first question...
The trouble was that he interrupted her at exactly 20 seconds into her answer.
If you think that women watching a woman vice president being interrupted repeatedly and being constantly talked over by Baier was some kind of flex by Fox, you might want to think again.
ROTFL, indeed.

So the person who wants to be the President of the United States can't handle a single interview with follow up questions?
Yeah. You go with that, girl!
It was a GLORIOUS TRAINWRECK.

Bret Baier shredded her memorized answers. Her facial expressions said it all - she wanted to be anywhere but there.
She wouldn't answer anything. Not one thing!
And she delivered the line that's going to torpedo her own campaign, to boot.

Two Fox News Channel interviews bracketed today: one this morning with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in front of an audience of hand-picked Republican women in Georgia, the other by Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris with host Bret Baier. Together, the two were a performance of dominance.
FNC billed Trump’s so-called town hall as a chance for female voters, a demographic that is swinging heavily to Harris, to ask Trump about issues they care about. But Hadas Gold and Liam Reilly of CNN reported that FNC had packed the audience with Trump supporters. The first question came from the president of the Fulton County Republican Women, though she was not identified as such. FNC then edited the broadcast to cut out remarks in which the attendees expressed support for Trump.
It seems unlikely that Trump attracted any new voters by speaking to an audience of loyalists audibly cheering him on.

Harris came across as powerful and Presidential. She's fearless. She's got the guts to go on the opposition's favorite "news" channel, whereas Trump was too chicken to debate her or to go on 60 Minutes. Did you actually watch the convicted felon's laughable interview with Bloomberg where he replied to the question of whether Google should be broken up by rambling on and on about how unfair he thinks voting in Virginia is? Trump is toast.
Here's what Mark Cuban said about the Harris interview.
The beautiful thing about the @BretBaier interview is that @KamalaHarris understood and responded to each question.
She used examples of policies. She gave real world context.
When Brett went hard after her, she didn’t call him names. She didn’t quit the interview. She didn’t make things up. She never once complained the questions were tough. She never played the victim card. She didn’t lose her temper.
She didn’t take the bait to diminish or talk down to Trump supporters. She stood up to him with force and never backed down. He has been the President and campaigning for 9 years. Kamala Harris has caught up to him in just 100 days . That speaks volumes.
It’s why people want to vote for her. That’s why so many Republicans and Independents are supporting her.
She is everything her opponent is not and will never be.
Strong, Smart and Measured

Cuban is all in Harris, Musk is all in trump. Team Harris has raised over a billion dollars she has more billionaire donors than him. The odds just went trump - 143, Harris plus 1.50, in other words, the biggest underdog Harris has been to date. This Dem party will do anything it can to beat trump, we shall know soon enough.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha! I haven't seen this take, and it's funny.

LOL. What questions did she actually answer?
I'll take that for you: none of them.
he used examples of policies. She gave real world context.
When, exactly? She did no such thing. Are you sure you watched the same thing the rest of us did?
She didn’t lose her temper.
Oooo, here's a falsehood. She absolutely lost her temper.
That’s why so many Republicans and Independents are supporting her.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And this…. In spite of FOX’s creative editing and stacking the studio audience with Republican operatives!

Uhhh...
1. There was no studio audience, it was a 1 v 1 interview with Bret Baier.
2. They aired the interview as it was shot with no edits, uninterrupted.

The point where Bret’s mask slipped- and Kamala’s incisive answer…
If he wants to conduct a hostile interview with Harris and play gotcha in ways his employer never would with Trump, that’s fine. That’s his business.
But when he asked Harris about Trump’s “enemies within” line and then Baier played a clip of Trump trying to do cleanup and not the actual clip from the inciting incident? That was a mask-off moment. And everyone in media should mark it down.https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-ghost-of-democrat...And Kamala’s answer (no puddle in evidence)
Bret, I'm 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’s speaking about the American people. That's not what you just showed…. You and I both know that he’s talked about turning the American military on the 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. This is a democracy. And in a democracy, the president of the United States in the United States of America should be… able to handle criticism without saying he’d lock people up for doing it. And this is what is at stake, which is why you have someone like the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying what Mark Milley has said about Donald Trump being a threat to the United States of America.” The only puddle in that interchange was the residue left after Kamala mopped the floor with Bret Baier

Lulz. They asked Trump the question in the other forum, and that was Trump's answer. What's BB supposed to do?
Nah, my dude. Her advisors told her to go for the Viral Bossgirl moment and show Big Meany Trumpy Fox who's boss.
Only...you guys are forgetting something.
There are a lot of Republicans who watch Fox. All the people that Bossgirl Viral Moments appeal to?
They're already voting for her.
She blew an opportunity to appear reasonable to a large bunch of folks who haven't seen her on the network before.

How about play the actual clip of Trump saying those things rather than the clip of Trump attempting to clean up after himself.
She blew an opportunity…
Why take my word for it?
Bret Baier has rarely looked as bad (or tendentious) as he did in his interview with Kamala Harris. On the flip side, this was one of her best interviews. She dominated Bret. All in all it was quite a bad day for MAGA world's most important media outlet.”

BB had the look of getting his year's worth of botox all at once.
if looking for anecdotal data points...hard to beat that trump tweets total victory in fox proxy debate.
as the election gets closer, look for more signs of fox making it clear they are an entertainment network, not a journalistic one.
tucker and dominion still sting.
