Vapid Kamala Harris 60 Minutes sitdown shows why shes avoided the press

Every interview Kamala Harris does reminds us why she does so few.Even with a sympathetic questioner in CBS’ Bill Whitaker and a lot of editing, her pre-recorded “60 Minutes” sit-down that aired Monday didn’t go well.Harris gave us a glimpse into her mind, and there’s not much there.Be thankful for small favors: At least she didn’t deflect anything with “I grew up a middle-class kid.”But her canned evasions still aren’t actually answers to the big questions of this election: What she really believes, how she’d offer “change” from Joe Biden, what she plans to do, or why anyone should expect any of her policies to work.Whitaker challenged Harris on a few points, but this shouldn’t have been a hard interview.

There were no “gotcha” questions.There were no surprises.Nearly every topic he broached was something Harris had been asked before, in her debate with former President Donald Trump and in her few prior interviews.Harris wasn’t asked to defend her administration’s lackluster performance in the response to Hurricane Helene, or its execution of anything other than opening the border to illegal migrants.Airing as it did on Oct.

So much for “Never again.”Whatever else she may have said about the topic was cut off from a broadcast that was replete with edits.Whitaker talked up the economy, but even with his encouragement, Harris could only say she had “a plan” to bring down prices.But she still can...
