In yet another painfully awkward public moment, Kamala Harris got absolutely torched during an exclusive interview with ABC’s Sarah Ferguson when pressed about Joe Biden’s mental decline
The interview, aired Wednesday night, was meant to be a softball promo for Harris’s memoir, which ABC hyped as an inside look at “the shortest and most consequential Presidential campaign in modern history.”
What viewers got instead was a masterclass in liberal denial. Ferguson, to her credit, didn’t let Harris off the hook, repeatedly pressing her on Biden’s refusal to step aside despite his obvious frailties, frailties that were on full display during that disastrous debate where he could barely string a coherent sentence together.
“Wasn’t Joe Biden then to put it on him? Wasn’t his refusal to recognize his own frailties, the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?” Ferguson asked pointedly.
Harris launched into a convoluted rant that had nothing to do with the question:
“I ran against Donald Trump for president, and Donald Trump ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe, misrepresenting his intentions to the American people.
I do believe that there are a fair number of people who voted for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them that his first priority on day one was going to be to bring down prices—and he didn’t.
And you combine that misrepresentation of intention with what was at play in terms of massive amounts of mis- and disinformation—forgive me—and a calendar in terms of the clock.”
Ferguson quickly cut through the nonsense:
“I want to interrupt you because that is a world-class pivot, but it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden’s failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you. The question is about Joe Biden.”
The look on Harris’s face said it all — deer-in-the-headlights panic followed by another evasive deflection.
Ferguson, to her credit, didn’t back down, probing why Harris “won’t go to that prolonged frailty question.”
Harris’s response was more deflection, claiming she’d addressed it in her book while dismissing the debate as a one-off due to “travel schedule” and “timing.”
