[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The contentious high-drama interview between Fox News anchor Bret Baier and Vice President Kamala Harris drew immediate attention and reactions online after it aired on Wednesday night. Baier tried to press Harris on a number of key issues but the vice president protested that he needed to let her finish her answers to the questions.
Meanwhile she tore into Donald Trump for being totally 'unfit to serve' as president for a second term because he's 'dangerous.'
It was a contentious 30 minutes as the current VP worked to distance herself from Biden, saying her presidency would not 'be a continuation' while defending the administration's policies.
The first testy moment started after a brawl over the Biden-Harris administration immigration policies.
Kamala Harris just ran into a Bret Baier buzzsaw when asked about the number of illegal aliens in the country,' wrote conservative communicator Steve Guest as the interview aired.
Baier's interview style drew praise from former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly.
'Bret is crushing this and she is incapable of defending her deadly border policies,' she wrote.
Meanwhile, supporters of Harris accused Fox News of conducting an 'ambush' interview and argued that she did well.
'Kamala Harris (strong) handled an ambush Fox interview light years better than the hash Donald Trump (unstable) made of the Fox pep rally disguised as a town hall,' Harris campaign advisor David Plouffe wrote on X.com.
Baier said on Fox News after the interview that Harris and her team arrived late to the interview and cut it short of what they agreed to.
'We were supposed to start at 5:00 p.m. ... originally we were going to do 25 or 30 minutes, it came in and said well maybe 20. So, already getting whittled down, then the vice president showed up about 5:15 p.m.' Baier said.
