She won the election based on this interview. She showed real grit and strength, a steady leader in major contrast to a Trump. Well done. She will be respected for this and it will turn a few undecided heads..

I’m glad she went toe-to-toe on Fox and called out Baier for his deceptive tactics. She showed her strength and resolve by cutting through the bullshit.

I think it’s gross that she has to distance herself from Biden.
I’m not blaming her either. I’m blaming the ignorant-ass public. Biden’s only sin as POTUS has been being old. The actual job? FOH. Give me 100 more years of Biden-esque competence in the presidency.
I’d like to think that someday his work as POTUS will be appreciated by more than 40% of the country and we’ll look back at how incredibly stupid “having to create distance from Biden to pander to people who don’t know anything” was.

That blockhead excuse for a journalist keeping interrupting and talking over her. He wouldn’t allow her to answer any questions. Despite that, Kamala did well. Fox news is a joke.

The fact that every single thread about this interview is instantly swarmed by MAGA folks saying how terrible she did tells me more than anything else how well she did.

Based on the number of conservatives and bots that have flooded this sub since the interview, Id say that’s a sign that she did well enough to piss them off.

Every profile I’ve seen who’s been trying to act like concerned Democrats who think she did terribly with this has right-wing activity.
Every one.
Neat.

If she can stand up to a Trump shill like Baer she can certainly hold her own with Putin and Xi.

Everyone knows the Presidential thing to do would be to 1. Call Fox News fake news and a disgrace. 2. Insult the interviewer. 3. Refuse to take any more questions. 4. Whip out your favorite playlist, stand up and vibe to it (and hope a stiff breeze doesn’t blow you over).
Bonus points: Shit yourself on national TV mid vibe.

Noice how when Trump says something insane, it is rebranded by his sycophants as something completely innocent.
When Kamala repeats his words verbatim, it is “bashing.”
Perfect example of holding two completely different options and a sign of mental unfitness.

Let’s see Trump go on Rachel Maddow.

She went into the viper’s den and very much survived. She’s painting quite the contrast with Trump and people are going to notice

This was about showing the grit and strength that a true leader has and earning respect. I am impressed.

MAGA: Kamala won’t do hostile interviews.
Kamala: Goes on Fox and holds her own.
MAGA: Shit! Where do we move the goal posts to now? I know! We’ll just say she did bad!
Trump: Sways to music for 40 minutes in his safe space.

She rocked! Held her own and punched back when he tried to give Trump cover on his threat to turn the military on Americans. So much better than any interview he has done this whole cycle. Go Harris Go!!!

I liked that she was relently during the whole of the interview. She ignored his setups and stupidly configured questions with no good answers, and she just steamrolled all over that garbage with her own actually good and useful information voters actually need to hear.
She was smart to keep talking and eat up all his time. I bet he had 4x the questions vs what he actually got to ask, and each and every question prepared was a trap intended to only create bad answers and talking points to follow up shows. It was VERY smart to not give him time for any of that crap. And when he did ask a dumb question, she just ignored it and did her own thing.
This was very much NOT an interview, and there was no good faith in the setup at all. Every single question presented was built with nefarious intent, every single one. None were built to create discussion on anything. Every single one was just a narrative bullet point.
She took a great path through it all. She took that path that placed no power in their hands through the whole thing.
I also like to think that her presence and demeanor might have also swayed some voters, perhaps. She was calm, respectful, but also assertive, and authoritative. She presented good qualities of leadership taking ownership of a situation and managing it.
My only gripe is a personal one. She’s purposefully being emotionally conservative. She’s reserved. If this is good or bad, I’m not sure. It’s a neutral position, but there’s value in emotion. There’s a natural want of people to develop buy-in to the emotional state of a person, a natural want for empathy. If she was perhaps slightly more candidate, more natural to her feelings, that dynamic would engage more significantly with viewers. But, she runs the risk of creating conflict with personalities that don’t align. It’s a mixed bag.

She should stood up and started a floaty arm dance just to really piss off maga.

Alright, I finally watched it. It wasn’t really an interview as much as it was a pseudo-journalistic attack, trying to pin her on really specious things that she had no personal power over, or otherwise have no bearing on the race. She, in turn, realized that these were not serious questions and used most of her time to reiterate her campaign highlights for the folks watching who might not have heard them before. I think it was too short of an interview to get to anything really meaningful, so she stuck to the biggest issue possible, which is Trump’s lack of fitness for office. If conservatives think this is a win for them, they’re delusional.

Why don’t the media report on the fake fucking journalism being done at fox news? Brett Bauer is their best guy? He just jumps on her with backhanded slap questions that are actually just misstatements of fact, and then doesn’t let her answer. reminds of fucking bill o’reilly.
“Can you please tell me why it is that you hate babies? When did you first realize you hated babies?”
That’s absolutely shit, and if I were her, I would have sat in my chair and asked when he was going to ask me a real question. I do think she stayed too much in politician mode.
I wanted to hear more of the ‘Oh please Brett you and I both know that’s not true!’

She kept her cool. I was boiling at some of the shit he was doing. Constantly cutting her off, idk what the fuck that poll was from Marquette Law School.. why didn’t they show the other stats too, that were favoring Dems? Real head scratcher.
There was one point where all she had to do was elevate her voice ever so slightly and it put him in his place. Keep going Kamala.
Her and her team are doing a masterful job at one of the hardest tasks of our time. Her resilience and bravery will, hopefully, bring about a desperately needed time of change and enlightenment. It is fitting that she is named after the Lotus flower 🪷

My older brother is a trump supporter. He straight up told me he is fearful for my life if Harris becomes president. He says that immigrants are going to bust through my door and rape my family as well as that I need to make the smart choice to protect my family and his nephew by voting trump. Sometimes you just have to take a couple steps back and really think before you talk.

Democrat here. I thought it was a pretty awesome interview. More of a debate than an interview, but whatever. I thought she got stern when she needed to, and seemed presidential.
I don’t think this headline is accurate though – I didn’t hear her distance herself from Biden at all.
