Guardian: Bret Baier’s Interview Was ‘Grievance Theater’ About 'Immigrant Hatred' and Transphobia

Fox News

The reviews have been coming in since yesterday evening of Bret Baier's interview with Kamala Harris on Fox News. As we reported, Senior Advisor for Kamala for President, David Plouffe, said that a strong Harris "handled an ambush Fox interview." We need them to get their story straight: was it an ambush, or did Harris bravely enter the lion's den?

The Harris campaign is spinning the interview as a huge success, but most of social media doesn't see it that way. Harris tried to filibuster as she had no answers to Baier's questions, some of which delved into her flip-flops from her 2020 presidential campaign.

The Guardian's Margaret Sullivan has come up with a new one, calling the interview "grievance theater."

The press is tougher on Donald Trump. But Sullivan believes it was just grievance theater: "Immigrant hatred. Transphobia. And later, Joe Biden’s age. Baier was running through the Fox News greatest hits playlist."

Sullivan writes:

Bret Baier started off his Wednesday evening interview with Kamala Harris with a barrage of combative questions about immigration, designed less to elicit substantive answers than to prove what a tough guy the Fox host could be.

His aggressive approach was understandable, in a way, since Baier had been under pressure for days from the Donald Trump faithful; they were convinced he was going to go easy on the Democratic nominee for president, and maybe even allow her campaign to edit the interview or see the questions in advance.

So, Baier came out guns blazing, barely allowing the vice-president to finish a sentence before jumping in with objections and arguments.

After 10 minutes of playing immigration “gotcha”, Baier pivoted to the obvious next subject, airing a video clip in which Harris expressed support for transgender people in prisons.

Yes, she expressed support for taxpayer-funded sex changes of convicts and illegal immigrants. We don't want that. We admit it. Call it transphobic if you like. Harris even hedged her support, declining to say she supported the sex changes but that she would "follow the law."

Asking Harris to explain her performance as vice president for the past three-and-a-half years isn't "grievance theater."
