Whoa! Maga is fully freaking out because of this interview. Damn. Fox News is still maga Central and she dove right on.

I think she did great going into the most hostile environment possible. Every single question was a “gotcha” question and she faced all of them head on. Trump on the other hand chickened out of the 60 minutes interview which would have been far friendlier than that. Trump=🐔
NoPreparationss on
She had nothing to lose going on Fox, was never going to win over any MAGA anyway. Good just to be out there.
But it’s funny seeing MAGA acting up because of this.
If you’re a MAGA reading this, however she did you wouldn’t even care anyway. You are just feeling uncomfortable she was willing to head into hostile territory, your safe space, to put herself out there for both sides to see.

Bret Baier’s social media was inundated with desperate conservatives upset he was giving her airtime and begging that he destroy her. It’s clear he tried to create viral clips for Fox News but she was disciplined and didn’t take the bait. Bret interrupted hard but she got most of what she wanted in, and by the standards of Fox News, he was not overly partisan.
I think Fox News viewers will be googling what she said because it’s the first they’ve heard anything negative about Trump this whole campaign.

Both the interviewer and some post-interview, on-screen commenters admitted that Kamala scored points. That’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Where can I watch the full interview? I tried going on YT, but it’s literally just MAGA propaganda.

It’s so interesting to read MAGAs response to the interview vs. everyone else’s. Early analysis from a variety of sources are much more fair and balanced including some conservative leaning media. Personally, she’s shown Trump that he needs to man up, answer tough questions, and stop being so weak.
HappyHenry68 on
She was outstanding. It was a debate not an interview. And she still kicked his ass even though he was controlling all the questions and content. A+ performance.

How embarrassing to be a MAGA cult member.

We will see a flood of double standards and idiots saying “she said nothing of substance” all the while defending trumps spew of bullshit and nonsense. In any case she did great don’t let the cry baby magats who are realizing they idolize a fragile old man who shits his pants at the thought of doing a tough interview

People on the other sub are missing the point… They were never going to vote for her and she wasn’t talking to them.
She was after all the Haley primary voters. All the right leaning Trump haters.
Going into the lion’s Den and looking strong like she did is all that was needed to pull some of these voters. They were just waiting for a reason to vote for anyone but Trump. They found that tonight.

It’s so refreshing watching a candidate that can string together coherent sentences

Meanwhile in ArrConservative, “Kamala the Cackler spanked/destroyed/OBLITERATED by Baier and his tough questions”.
I just can’t with these people anymore.

If Hume and Perino said she was effective, it was at worst a neutral performance. They have no reason to give her credit.
PopeHonkersXII on
If USA Today is singing her praises that is going to reach a lot of white bread, barely tuned in suburban swing voters.
EmporioS on
She handled herself well during the interview, despite the interviewer being rude and frequently interrupting her. It seemed like he talked more than she did, which made them appear intimidated by her. It’s good to see the media beginning to address Trump’s mental decline.

Trump never “handled” tough questions — he’s nothing more than an amoral liar.

You telling me she didn’t immediately fold like a lawn chair like Trump did question #1 with the African American women panel.

What is the GOP’s platform? What the fuck are they offering??

Trump embodies the cowardice that is the basis of the entire magat cult. Everything for them revolves around fear. Harris has courage and that terrifies them even more.
Designer_Buy_1650 on
She showed one helluva backbone. Even if she didn’t ace every question, just showing up and answering (not evading) all the questions should garner some new votes. Would love to know what her pulse was when she first sat down.

She is playing this masterfully. No matter the outcome, you can’t say she didn’t do her absolute best.

Yes but can Kamala dance for 40 minutes straight without a break?! That’s STAMINA!!!

I’d like to watch the interview, but know how rude and disrespectful this overgrown dork would act, I’d probaby just get enraged. I hate when they invite a person on to be interviewed, then just interrupt and talk over them. What an incredible, tactless jerk, and screw Fox “news,” anyway.

Watching all the little Trumpets swarming over here and posting their copes while trembling and crying is a delicious meal and I’m enjoying every bite.

Did she insist on having a room full of campaign cheerleaders that applaud as she says Bret Baer is nasty, a real loser with bad ratings that hates democrats?
No? Only Trump gets to do that?
Only one of the candidates is taking this election seriously. The other just farts bullshit out of his mouth 24/7/365

The way she handled the bad faith attack on trans people really helped calm my nerves. This is exactly how you handle bad faith premises. Attack the premise, don’t concede the framing.
Very well done.

Whether one liked her responses or not she has a lot of spunk. Trump has walked out on interviews.
