After weeks without sitting down for an interview with the media, the Democratic presidential nominee finally agreed to a chat with liberal-friendly CNN. The results were telling.<\/p>\n

More than a month after becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris finally agreed to sit for a pre-recorded, highly edited interview with CNN accompanied by her running mate Gov. Tim Walz. Yet the \u2018grilling\u2019 lasted just under 20 minutes, which translates into about 10 minutes of speaking time for each candidate. Critics say the shockingly brief face-to-face came off looking more like a slick campaign ad than a hard-hitting interview.<\/p>\n

How pathetic, how lacking in confidence is this woman, that she is running for president of the United States, the highest office of the land, but won\u2019t agree to an interview with a friendly network without Tim Walz accompanying her. On top of that, the Harris campaign picked the lowest-rated news channel (CNN) to do the interview, hours before a holiday weekend, and on the same night college football season kicked off. In other words, Harris\u2019 handlers were desperately seeking to keep this interview as low key as possible.<\/p>\n

While CNN\u2019s Dana Bash did ask several substantive questions in this closely watched interview, there was scant critical follow up to Harris\u2019 answers although the vice president has flip-flopped on numerous occasions in the past, most notably on the question of America\u2019s energy resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you were in Congress, you supported the green New Deal, and in 2019 you said, quote, \u2018There is no question, I\u2019m in favor of banning fracking.\u2019 Do you still want to ban fracking?\u201d Bash asked.<\/p>\n

Harris responded that she no longer wanted to ban fracking and that she had emphasized that position in 2020. Bash reminded that Harris had previously said in a 2019 town hall that she did in fact want to prohibit fracking. When the CNN host went on to ask the vice president why she wanted to change her 2019 position, Harris made vague references to \u201cscientific studies\u201d on climate change, when the real reason for the flip-flop was to secure votes in the swing state of Pennsylvania where fracking is an important part of the economy. In other words, politics as usual.<\/p>\n

Bash also questioned Harris for her role as \u2018Border Czar\u2019 in the Biden administration. The vice president was asked if she is still of the opinion that border crossings should be decriminalized, a position she took during her 2019 campaign. Harris managed to largely evade the question, simply answering that she believes in \u201cconsequence\u201d and that \u201cwe have laws that have to be followed and enforced.\u201d The problem is, the Biden administration has done very little to enforce those laws.<\/p>\n

Conservative estimates report that under President Biden\u2019s watch, there have been over 8.5 million migrant encounters nationwide, 6.7 million of which have been at the Southwest border. Worse yet, 1.7 million known \u2018getaways\u2019\u2014illegal immigrants who have evaded Border Patrol\u2014 are now living in the interior of the United States without documentation and without having undergone any vetting by immigration officials.<\/p>\n

The number of illegal immigrants in the country has roughly doubled under President Biden. The United States had some 10.2 million illegal immigrants in 2020, and another 10 million have entered during Biden\u2019s presidency. In light of this escalating situation, Harris had a lot of answering to do in the interview, which regrettably never happened.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, many political commentators fear that a cloud of foul play surrounded the Harris-Walz sit down, and for good reason. Indeed, there is no reason to believe that CNN, a fiercely pro-liberal news channel, did not provide Kamala Harris with the questions prior to the interview.<\/p>\n

Suffice it to recall that in the run up to the 2016 presidential showdown between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, former Democratic National Committee interim chair and CNN contributor Donna Brazile was caught sending town hall topics to Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign. News of the incident was discovered courtesy of leaked emails \u2013 a \u201chack job\u201d conveniently blamed on the Russians, and despite the fact that a DNC employee, Seth Rich, 27, was murdered in cold blood on the streets of Washington, DC shortly after the revelations went public. Police say the young man was the victim of a robbery, although none of his private possessions were taken.<\/p>\n

Bash also questioned Harris over Biden\u2019s disastrous debate performance that set in motion the effort to remove the president and replace him with Harris. After Biden stumbled through the June 27 debate against Trump, Harris took to CNN to defend the 81-year-old president\u2019s health and mental acuity.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you have any regrets about what you told the American people [about Biden\u2019s health]?\u201d Bash asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot at all,\u201d Harris responded, with a hint of conspiracy.<\/p>\n

Given Harris\u2019 known inability for articulating complex ideas without the help of a teleprompter, many observers are of the opinion that Biden\u2019s departure at the 11th<\/sup> hour was a deliberate move that protected Harris from having to spend too much time in the public eye before November. We already know from past experience that Harris\u2019 political shelf life is extremely short.<\/p>\n

Just four years ago, Harris was forced to withdraw early from the presidential nomination process with poll numbers in the low single digits, yet today she has managed to advance one step from the White House without winning a single vote. All things considered, some might call that very suspicious fortune. The only thing that can explain this surge in popularity is a media industrial complex that is willing to celebrate Kamala Harris as she prepares for her first and possibly last debate against The Donald on September 10. After that it\u2019s anybody\u2019s guess, but given the fact that almost the entire media complex has thrown its hefty support behind Harris, Trump is facing a formidable challenge.<\/p>\n
