Kamala Harris’ pre-election media blitz didn’t make her look any better – it was just a massive flop

Vice President Kamala Harris finally sat down this week for multiple media interviews on consecutive days, a first for her presidential campaign.
Yet most of them weren’t interviews at all, but the journalistic version of a hot-stone massage.
The veep’s first major stop was at “60 Minutes.”
Refreshingly, and for the first time since she replaced Joe Biden atop the Democratic ticket, she was actually challenged with some uncomfortable questions and (gasp) even follow-ups.
Yet CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker seemed flummoxed by her non-answers and word salads on major topics like economic policy and illegal immigration, while Harris looked patently uncomfortable.
Only later did we learn CBS had extensively edited the chat to make Harris sound somewhat coherent.
Hours after that train wreck aired, Harris went over to ABC.
And for the first time ever, a Democrat somehow screwed up a T-ball interview on “The View,” a seemingly impossible feat.
Her biggest whiff: Asked if she would have decided anything differently than Joe Biden did their past four years in office, she answered with a line that will surely become a Trump campaign ad: “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
Nope.
