Kamala Harris’ latest interview with Fox News anchor Brett Baier can only be described as a colossal disaster. This wasn’t just another bad day for the Vice President; it was a full-on train wreck that left many wondering if her campaign team had hit the snooze button instead of prepping her for one of the most critical discussions of her career. Even some of her own supporters, including journalist Geraldo Rivera, were left scratching their heads at what they witnessed.
Rivera, who decided to endorse Harris just two days prior, expressed his confusion and disappointment during an appearance on News Nation’s “Dan Abrams Live.” He was astonished by Harris’ apparent lack of preparedness for what should have been her high-stakes moment under the spotlight. Rivera pointed out that it was mind-boggling that she seemed utterly unready to tackle the immigration issue, especially knowing that this would undoubtedly be a central topic for Baier. Given the current border crisis and the ongoing chaos surrounding illegal immigration, one would expect the Vice President to have her talking points locked down tighter than a vault.
Kamala Harris Supporter Geraldo Rivera 'Baffled' by VP's Tactics in Fox News Interview
Geraldo is always baffled. Wake up, Kamala is incompetent, unlikable, shrill & a puppet. @GeraldoRivera https://t.co/lsmvOQpPf3

As the conversation veered into heartbreaking territory, Baier raised the tragic murder of 20-year-old Laken Riley, a victim of an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. This heartbreaking story served as a brutal reminder of the human cost tied to the Biden administration’s immigration policies. Yet, instead of showing empathy or insight, Harris floundered, leaving many to wonder how she could fail to connect with the families of victims or address such a critical issue in a humane way. Rivera’s exasperation was palpable, pointing out that every Democrat and their dog knew immigration would be front and center, so how could she not be ready?
The interview revealed a shocking truth: Harris was completely out of her depth, even struggling to provide basic figures about illegal immigration since she took office. This was not some trick question; it was the kind of inquiry that any politician should be able to answer confidently. Rivera declared that the immigration issue could be a significant factor in the upcoming election, even suggesting that if Donald Trump secures victory, it will largely hinge on the Democrats’ failure to address this critical concern.
Rivera’s enthusiasm for Harris is clearly evaporating faster than a snowflake in July. His comments suggest that the honeymoon is over, and the reality of her candidacy is setting in. It’s baffling that he endorsed her in the first place, given her track record of fumbling, whether it be on “The View” or during appearances with late-night hosts. In truth, it seems that friendly or hostile environments alike are equally fatal for Harris – she simply cannot articulate herself well enough to win over skeptical voters.
The overall impression from this latest disaster is clear: Kamala Harris is a liability for her own party. And while her supporters might try to brush off her abysmal performance at the interview as simply navigating the treacherous waters of Fox News, even they cannot ignore the growing chorus of concern about her preparedness. When the vice presidential candidate is drawing ire from her own circle, it becomes apparent that she might need more than just a few friendly wake-up calls; she may need to completely overhaul her strategy before stepping onto any future stage.
