clo may have been excited, but The New York Slimes were not wowed ... 

The Party's OVER! The New York Times Pulls ZERO Punches EVISCERATING Kamala Harris's MSNBC Interview

Turns out we weren't the only ones LESS than impressed with Kamala Harris's MSNBC interview. Hey, we expect right-leaning outlets like ours and others to be critical of Kamala's second softball interview conducted by the same woman who just recently said Kamala shouldn't have to do interviews. But, seeing the New York Times dragging her?

Woof.

SO much woof.

All the woof even.

Take a look:

Woof, whoever wrote this is not surprisingly "in the tank" for the Democrat - ANY Democrat ... 

"Instead of offering any explanation for why Mr. Trump polls better on the economy - a matter that has vexed Democrats as President Biden has overseen a steadily improving economy ..."

WTF?! The truth is vexing you morons because Brandon has obviously NOT "overseen a steadily improving economy" ... at least THAT is painfully OBVIOUS to every American who isn't a delusional Democrat. What a stooge. But, the writer is aware enough to realize that this "interview" by Ruhle was a staged love-fest full of nothing but softball questions where there was absolutely no follow-up when Cackles dodged every question with a bunch of incoherent word salad. What a pathetic joke. 

Repeatedly dodged questions.

Skated past questions.

This part though, it's really harsh:

It's not quite clear what Ms. Harris gained, aside from giving her campaign aides the ability to say she held a one-on-one cable television interview. For the vice president, this was roughly the same ballpark as Mr. Trump having one of his regular chats with Sean Hannity of Fox News.

Bingo.

Trump has walked into the lion's den on more than one occasion and yet Kamala will only do interviews with safe pundits and safe networks. Notice she ran away from the Fox News debate ... but, Trump did CNN and ABC News.

Social distancing champ (@LadyGriz) ~ Kamala is capable of memorizing lines that her team feeds her. That’s it.

James Flood III (@jamesfloodiii) ~ There's more evidence of migrants eating cats and dogs than evidence of Kamala ever working at McDonald's.

But, Cackles is in really poor shape if The New York Slimes are calling her out on this fake "interview" crap. Heh heh heh heh heh.

clo was so excited about this. I'm sure she watched and thinks Chlamydia did great - but, then, clo knows even less about the economy than the DEI vice president.

Kamala Harris Struggles to Answer Economic Questions on MSNBC

by Joel B. Pollak
Breitbart.com


Vice President Kamala Harris gave her first solo interview Wednesday on cable news as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, and failed to answer questions even in a friendly interview by MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle.

Ruhle — who faced criticism for comments Friday in which she had defended Kamala from having to face questions about her policies — asked Harris pointed questions and even fact-checked some of her repeated talking points.

When Harris tried to claim, falsely — as she has in the past — that “Donald Trump left us with the worst economy since the Great Depression” (it was, in fact, growing when he left office), Ruhle noted: “It was during COVID and employment was so high because we shut down the government, we shut down the country.” Harris then said Trump lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs before the pandemic, which is also false: manufacturing jobs rose by 450,000.

Ruhle also fact-checked Harris’s claim — also a staple of Joe Biden’s economic speeches — that Trump’s 2017 tax cuts only benefited the rich and corporations. “He didn’t just cut corporate taxes, he cut individual taxes,” Ruhle observed.

The MSNBC interviewer also pointed out that Harris’s plans to expand the child tax credit or to offer assistance with mortgage down payments could not be done without approval from Congress, and the help of Republicans. “If you can’t raise corporate taxes, or if the GOP takes control of the senate, where do you get the money to do that? Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow?” As Ruhle later observed, Harris did not want to answer at all.

Harris seemed thrown by Ruhle’s often mild questions. When Ruhle asked Harris,”How do you go after price gouging without implementing price controls?” the vice president was completely stumped, and simply dodged. “Yes, I’m going to go after them,” she repeated, aiming at companies that exploit consumers, leaving the question unanswered.

At one point, Harris made the odd observation, on the high cost of living, “Gone is the day of everyone thinking they could actually live the American dream.” It was almost an indictment of the four years she had been in office. When Ruhle pointed out that housing was often scarce because of local regulations and restrictions, Harris immediately agreed, failing to note that her own home state is one of the worst offenders, and that she has doing nothing about it.

Ruhle did her best to reassure Harris that she was, in fact, on her side.

When she asked Harris about whether she had actually worked at McDonald’s, a laughing Harris replied that she had. Ruhle did not follow up and ask the obvious question that skeptical conservatives have been asking: Which one?

But nevertheless, she persisted with other, substantive questions. On tariffs, for example, she challenged Harris, who opposes Trump’s tariff policies. “But tariffs aren’t unique to President Trump,” the MSNBC anchor said. “President Biden has tariffs in place. He’s actually looking to potentially implement more. Where do you come out on, is there a good tariff, a bad tariff?” Harris was stumped again, attacking Trump’s proposed tariffs for being “across-the-board.”

Harris concluded her answer by mocking Trump:

He’s not serious about how he thinks about some of these issues. And one must be serious, and have a plan, and a real plan, that’s not just about some talking point ending in an exclamation at a political rally, but actually putting the thought into what will be the return on the investment? what will be the economic impact on everyday people?

Many viewers — even MSNBC’s loyal Democratic audience — may think that description applies to Harris, who failed to explain her economic plans to a sympathetic interviewer, and often resorted to talking points, or simple evasion.
