Bret Baier Defends Interrupting Kamala Harris 38 Times

October 21, 2024 · 10:59 pm ET · Leave a Comment

The Wrap: In an interview with Vanity Fair, Baier explained that he had his reasons for the numerous cutoffs of the vice president during his brief interview with the Democratic candidate.”

“In his eyes, he was trying to ‘redirect’ Harris’ “long answers,” which he was worried would ‘eat up all the time of this interview that was live-to-tape.’ That said, he gets the callouts.”

Said Baier: “I get the criticism. I get the wondering whether that was different. But if you look back on that one-on-one with former president Trump, he didn’t like it at the time.”
