Trump campaign targets Harris over 'train wreck' Fox News interview

Karoline Leavitt, former President Trump’s national press secretary, sharply criticized Vice President Harris’s performance during her Fox News interview Wednesday, calling it a “train wreck” in a social media post.

“Kamala Harris’ interview with Bret Baier was a TRAIN WRECK. Kamala was angry, defensive, and once again abdicated any responsibility for the problems Americans are facing. She couldn’t give a straight answer to a single question because she has no answers. Kamala’s entire campaign is based on lies about President Trump,” Leavitt said on X.

“Kamala can’t handle the pressure of an interview with Fox News — she certainly can’t handle the pressure of being President of the United States,” she added.

Harris sat for the toughest interview of her campaign yet on Wednesday, when she was peppered with questions from Fox News’s Bret Baier and pressed multiple times to answer a question more directly.

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

The Make America Great Again PAC similarly attacked Harris, calling her “angry” and “unfit.”

“The American public may never know where Kamala Harris stands on issues because she gives more time to sex podcasts than news outlets that ask simple questions. Her angry, unhinged behavior demonstrates that she’s unfit to be president, and we expect her campaign to reboot again as a result,” the MAGA PAC said in a statement, appearing to reference Harris’s recent appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

“But’s no wonder her team has kept her in the media shadows- her track record is DISASTROUS and she can’t form a coherent sentence to save her life,” the group added in the statement.

The Hill has reached out to the Harris campaign for comment on Leavitt’s statement.

Harris Campaign Communications Director Brian Fallon told reporters Wednesday evening that Harris did what she set out to do in the interview, getting her message out to more conservative voters and proving that she’s tough in the face of difficult questioning.

“I think there’s a good number of independents and Haley-style republicans who are very open to voting for VP Harris and that’s why we are open to doing events with Republicans and on Fox News,” Fallon said.

“We feel like we definitely achieved what we set out to achieve, in the sense that she was able to reach an audience that is probably been not exposed to the arguments she’s been making on the trail,” he continued, “and she also got to show her toughness in standing tall against a hostile interviewer.”
