Bill O’Reilly zaps Harris for evading Brett Baier’s questions

(NewsNation) — Bill O’Reilly believes Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t answer any questions during her interview with Fox’s Bret Baier.

In fact, O’Reilly believes Harris’ strategy was to go into the interview and “not answer any questions.

“She came in and she dodged all 10 questions… Some of them were important,” O’Reilly said Thursday on NewsNation’s “CUOMO.”


Harris Fox News interview draws sharp reactions on both sides

As for Donald Trump, O’Reilly said he’s “not a defender of Trump” and that the former president is “mad” at him for not vocally supporting him enough.

“She used 50% of her time to bash Trump, the same way she has bashed him. Does she feel that will get her one vote? … She looked weak,” O’Reilly said.

Cuomo responded that if Harris “really used 50% of her time” to bash Trump, “it’s gotta be 50% less than Trump spends” bashing Harris.

“If that’s what matters to voters, they’re not gonna vote for Trump,” Cuomo said. “The man (Trump) lies when the truth is a better story. … How does Harris lose the election?”

Harris and Baier sparred frequently, at times speaking over each other on the matters of immigration, President Biden’s mental fitness, transgender prisoners and cases involving alleged murders by migrants.

Harris took a risk by appearing on the network just three weeks before Election Day as part of a recent media blitz in which she’s trying to cobble together enough of a coalition to beat former President Trump.

O’Reilly also revealed to Cuomo he plans to vote for Trump because Kamala Harris’ “entire presentation is gibberish.” Cuomo hit back, saying a lot of people likely “feel the same way” about Trump.

More than 7 million people tuned in to watch Harris’ interview with Fox, according to Nielsen Media Research data.

The less-than-half-hour sit-down between the anchor and Democratic nominee for president delivered 7.1 million viewers for the cable channel, including 882,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic.
