Kamala Harris had a game plan in taking on 'adversarial' Fox News interviewer: analyst

Vice President Kamala Harris found herself under heavy fire from the word go when she sat for an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, who pressed her on everything from immigration to transgender rights to the economy and sought to soften Trump's threats to use the military on his political opponents when Harris broached the subject.

But while Harris knew she was in unfriendly territory going on the nation's largest right-leaning cable network, she had a very distinct plan going into it, CNN media analyst Brian Stelter said on a panel afterward.

"I think this strategy from Harris was a Google strategy," said Stelter. "She wanted Fox viewers to start to Google some of the things she was saying because some of the comments she was making in this interview are foreign to the Fox audience."

As an example of this, Stelter said, Harris brought up "General Mark Milley saying Trump is a 'fascist to the core.' That's barely been covered on Fox News. So she was able to get some of those talking points in."

And at the end of the day, he added, Harris was anticipating from the start that this was the kind of reception she would get on Fox News — and she is hoping that voters laud her ability to walk into that and hold her own.

"This was the most adversarial interview Kamala Harris has probably ever done," said Stelter. "Instead of getting to debate Trump again she got to debate Bret Baier, and a lot of viewers are going to come away saying, 'Wow, she's willing to do that, that's a sign of toughness and strength.'"
