The level of substance we got last night from Kamala Harris’s interview with Dana Bash was on par with the infamous Miss America contestant from South Carolina attempting to explain geography a number of years ago. It just wasn’t good.
Out of the gate, Kamala Harris flubbed an explanation of her day one priority so badly that Dana Bash asked the question again. Harris praised Bidenomics before claiming that prices are still too high. She endorsed fracking before lying about previously opposing fracking. Kamala Harris said she has no regrets for covering up Joe Biden’s cognitive declines. And Tim Walz justified his lie about carrying weapons in war by claiming he just wasn’t good at grammar.
Overall, the interview was not a great look for the new ticket. But many conservatives are myopically focused on Dana Bash’s refusal to ask follow-up questions which would have cut in half the number of questions she could have asked. What these same Republicans should be worried about is that for every text I got about the interview, I got five from angry Republicans who are furious about Donald Trump’s abortion comments. That’s the bigger story.
