Sen. JD Vance was not impressed with Vice President Kamala Harris’ first sit-down interview with a reporter since she became the Democratic heir apparent following President Joe Biden’s exit from the race.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, observers have been critical of Harris’ campaign for purportedly shielding her from engaging with the press.
Even NBC’s Chuck Todd lamented the strategy in a column.
“I know many Democrats have an allergy to all things Trump, but the one thing I thought more candidates would learn from his initial campaign in 2016 is that he viewed all media as good for him, whether he thought the interviewer was a friendly, a neutral or an opponent,” Todd wrote. “Trump was willing to go everywhere.”
Regardless, the interview, which aired Thursday evening, appeared to be panned from multiple quarters, with Vance accusing the vice president of flip-flopping.
Here’s some of what Fox News reported on Vance’s reaction:
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance warned Americans not to “buy” Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ policy positions during her first sit-down interview since launching her 2024 bid, as critics accuse her of “flip-flopping” on key issues.
Vance slammed Harris’ performance during the CNN interview on “Fox & Friends,” accusing her of only pretending to be more moderate to garner more votes ahead of the November election.
“I think it’s important for us not to buy this,” Vance said on Friday. “If you look at the way that Kamala Harris has governed, she’s actually governed as a far-left person. She’s just trying to pretend that she’s not far left now because, of course, she wants to win the American people’s votes over the next couple of months. But if she does, she’s going to do the same thing that she’s been doing for the last few years.”
