The Democrats realize they’re going to have to put Tim Walz and Kamala Harris out there for more interviews, that they just can’t slip by with hiding. They’re still trying to pick largely safe interviews for her, although they did have Walz do a Fox interview with Shannon Bream — which did not go well for him at all.

Walz kept getting trapped on issues by Bream and then lied to try to get out of them. When asked about his prior problem with telling the truth, he ended up telling yet another lie. Bream just completely wrecked him and showed how far left he and Harris were.
Now, I’m fairly certain that they wouldn’t get so fact-checked on any of the other friendly outlets they deign to sit for. And they didn’t want to put Harris on Fox, so Walz was the one who got the huge reality check instead.

Kamala Harris Set to Do a Flurry of Interviews—All W ith Friendly Outlets
But even on friendly liberal media outlets, Kamala didn’t fare well, if the early clips out of the “60 Minutes” interview are any indication. The full interview will be out on Monday.
She was interviewed by Bill Whitaker who asked why isn’t Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu listening to you? He’s resisting the administration’s pressure for a ceasefire and went into Lebanon despite their urging. He promised to make Iran pay for the missile attack and that could open things up to a wider war, Whitaker worried. Gee, maybe that’s what you do when in a war and you’re attacked? You have to take out the other side, to stop them. Harris made it all about pressure on Israel.

The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles, which include the need for humanitarian aid, the need for this war to end, the need for a deal to be done that would release the hostages, and, and, and create a ceasefire. And we’re not going to stop in terms of putting that pressure on Israel, and in the region, including Arab leaders.
This must be the first war ever that requires the victims to provide humanitarian aid to the people who attacked them. Then on top of it, the whole construct of the question and the answer is that somehow Israel is in the wrong for continuing to try to take out terrorists who have resolved to destroy them and aren’t giving up that intent. How do you have a “ceasefire” when the bad guys don’t want it? This is a continuing bizarre position from the Biden-Harris team.
But then when Whitaker pressed her on it, saying Netanyahu wasn’t listening, she went into a huge word salad.
Well, Bill … the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.
Um, what did she just say? I defy you to find any sense in there. Yowza. If she can’t even handle these friendly interviews, how badly would she flame out with Shannon Bream? And again, how would she deal with all the things she would have to do in the job, including dealing with much sharper foreign leaders?

Whitaker asked her if we have a real ally in Prime Minister Netanyahu. I don’t think that’s the real question. The question is, why does the Biden-Harris team keep standing in the way of finishing off the terrorists, who by the way killed Americans too on October 7? Harris then threw Netanyahu under the bus again, refusing to even say if he was an ally:
“I think the better question is do we have an important alliance between the American people and Israeli people. The answer to that question is yes,” she exclaimed. She not only wouldn’t say Bibi was an ally, she couldn’t even bring herself to say the state of Israel was an ally.
There she goes, trying to pander to the left again. She’s losing both Muslim and Jewish support because she keeps playing this game of both ends against the middle. It’s not working.
People couldn’t believe how bad she was.

“60 Minutes” wanted former President Donald Trump to do an interview as well, but he declined until they apologize for the interview he did back in 2020 with Lesley Stahl. She said they couldn’t talk about the Hunter Biden laptop until it was “verified,” suggesting it was Russian disinformation, thus potentially adversely impacting the election.
He’s still waiting for that apology.
