NEW: ABC News Caught Grossly Deceptively Editing Kamala Harris’ Disastrous Solo Interview

As RedState reported, Kamala Harris’ first solo interview since wresting the nomination away from Joe Biden did not go well. The vice president seemed ill-prepared, rambling on about things unrelated to the questions being presented by ABC News reporter Brian Taff

One particularly egregious example occurred when she was asked to give just two specific things she’d do to bring down costs for Americans. What followed was a mind-numbing word salad in which she spent nearly a quarter of the interview (which was only 10 minutes long) rambling about being “middle class.”

TAFF: Talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people. What are one or two specific things you have in mind for that?

HARRIS: Well, I’ll start with this. I grew up a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hardworking people. You know, construction workers and nurses and teachers. I try to expla in to some people who might not have had the same experience, but a lot of people will relate to this. 

You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of people who were really proud of their lawn, you know, and I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity and that we as Americans have a beautiful character. You know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams, but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions. So, when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business. 

The above exchange can be seen online by going directly to ABC 6’s website. Guess who didn’t see it? That would be the network’s television audience. According to Tom Elliott, who runs Grabien, a media service that archives news coverage, ABC 6 and Taff made an astonishingly dishonest edit to the interview before playing it on the nightly news. 

Specifically, the above word salad was completely cut out of the interview, and instead, a later portion was spliced in. In the recording of the live broadcast, you can hear Taff ask the question posed in the above excerpt, yet the answer Harris is shown giving was not her actual answer in the interview.

Here is the comparison between the actual interview and what ABC 6 put on air.

It is one thing to cut out specific exchanges of a long-form interview to provide highlight coverage for a news broadcast. It is another to present a question and then chop off the real answer to make a politician look better. What Harris said was embarrassing and irrelevant. ABC 6 should have aired that or not aired the exchange at all.

By the way, guess who owns ABC 6? It’s not a standalone affiliate with independence. Rather, it is directly owned by ABC News’ parent company: 

This is yet another example of just how far the press is willing to go to send Kamala Harris to the White House. What Taff and his network did is not journalism. It’s activism, and they had no excuse to mislead people by chopping up the interview in that way. Harris is a vapid empty suit, and voters deserve to know that.
