Kamala Harris has done a grand total of one national interview since becoming the Democrat Party nominee for President.
It’s starting to become a political embarrassment.
And Kamala Harris’ handlers agreed to let her do an interview with this MSNBC host.
Kamala Harris agrees to second interview
Kamala Harris has so far only sat for interviews with her supporters.
CNN’s pro-Kamala Harris fangirl Dana Bash got the first crack.
Now Kamala Harris’ first solo interview will be with far-left MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle.
It was no coincidence Kamala Harris’s second interview was with Ruhle.
The announcement came just days after Ruhle appeared on Bill Maher’s show and defended Kamala Harris avoiding tough questions, saying she didn’t owe voters answers on where she stood on a variety of issues in the name of defending democracy from Donald Trump.
New York Times Never-Trump columnist, Brett Stephens, said Kamala Harris owed it to voters to sit for an interview with someone like Maher who would ask real questions so voters would know what they were buying into if they voted for Kamala Harris.
“It would be great for her to sit down with you or George Stephanopoulos or you, Stephanie,” Stephens stated. “Ask her, ask her – you know, George W. Bush 25 years ago was asked if he could name the president of Pakistan and other people. He had no idea. And people said, this guy has no command of of a foreign policy and it turned out to be a prescient set of questions.”
Ruhle claimed Trump was a threat to democracy so Kamala Harris answering questions could only hurt her campaign.
“Kamala Harris isn’t running for perfect. She’s running against Trump,” Ruhle replied. “We have two choices. And so there are some things you might not know her answer to. And in 2024, unlike 2016, for a lot of the American people, we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is and the kind of threat he is to democracy.”
Why Kamala Harris is ducking questions
Kamala Harris took a host of far-left positions in 2020 when she ran for President such as supporting defunding the police, banning fracking, and eliminating private health insurance.
That’s her record.
Stephens argued that voters deserved to know if Kamala Harris would govern like a radical socialist if they made her President.
“But people also are expected to have some idea of what the program is of the person you’re supposed to vote for. You’re just not supposed to say, well, you have to vote for Y because X is this, that and the other,” Stephens shot back. “I don’t think it’s a lot to ask her to sit down for a real interview as opposed to a puff piece in which she describes, like her, her feelings of growing up in Oakland with nice lawns.”
Ruhle rejected that idea, claiming all that mattered was defeating Donald Trump so it was up to the media to help Kamala Harris hide her flaws as a candidate.
“I would just say to that, when you move to Nirvana, give me your real estate broker’s number and I’ll be your next door neighbor,” Ruhle sneered. “We don’t live there.”
It’s easy to see why Ruhle got this interview.
And it also shows that Kamala Harris’ handlers firmly believe the rest of the media is in the tank or else the press would turn this sham interview into a massive negative news cycle for Kamala.
