    Surprised that this hasn't gotten more attention, especially since the Pubs love to whine she isn't doing interviews. Anyway, here it is in its entirety.



    A couple thoughts from me.

    I didn't like how there were a couple of times you could see she was talking and they were narrating over her. Been awhile since I watched 60 minutes, but I don't recall that happening in other interviews, maybe I'm wrong.

    Questions were not softballs, and I feel a few were frankly misleading. They said immigration quadrupled from Trump's last year, with out acknowledging that was during covid and that prior to covid, the numbers were skyrocketing during Trumps term. 2019 saw nearly 1 million encounters.

    At one point, he asks her about calling Trump a racist and how is that supposed to bring people together. Literally, a black man is asking a black woman to defend herself for calling a racist a racist. Really?

    I loved her answer to his question about why she owns a gun (which she said was a glock, good choice in my book). "My background is in law enforcement. Enough said."

    Anyway, I think she did a pretty good job. She was not in attack mode, she didn't lose her cool, she answered the questions asked (for the most part), and ya know what? She only laughed one time.

    Doubt many MAGA cult members will even spend the 20 minutes it takes to watch the interview. Maybe a few of the folks who said they weren't going to vote for either will take a few minutes to listen to her.

    Kamala Harris: The 2024 60 Minutes Interview (youtube.com)

    Kamala Implodes During CBS News Interview (townhall.com)

    I watched. Kamrade Kamala bombed the interview. She couldn't answer any basic questions including why the American people should think she will do anything differently if given the keys to the WH. You democrats should be embarrassed. Joe Biden would have done better if interviewed at 10 AM.

    Kamala Harris’ interview on CBS News was a total disaster. That’s an evergreen statement, but you knew it would end poorly. Folks, her spot on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the most effortless media hit of all time, was a tangled mess. Now, sitting across from Bill Whitaker, the seasoned journalist asked run-of-the-mill questions, and this woman imploded (again). It’s not like Democrats didn’t know this about Kamala, who has been a five-alarm fire every time she tried to do a solo interview before Joe Biden’s mind melted on national television last June.

    BILL WHITAKER: Your economic plan would add $3 trillion to the deficit over 10 years. How do you pay for it? HARRIS: Trump’s plan is worse! WHITAKER: But how do you pay for it? HARRIS: Well, the rich need to pay their fair share! WHITAKER: And how do you get this through Congress when no one has expressed support for it? HARRIS: I’m a capitalist, ya know!

    Bill Whitaker: “You’ve changed your positions so much that no one believes anything.” Harris: “Well, I’m the vice president and I travel a lot.”

    And finally, the topic of immigration. Kudos to Mr. Whitaker for giving her three chances to answer this question—she doesn’t. And please, border crossings are not down. Even if they were, Kamala and Joe let over 20 million people into the country, including hundreds of thousands of criminals, including tens of thousands of rapists and murderers:

    (3) Townhall.com on X: "Harris is FINALLY facing some tough questions on her and Biden's immigration policy: "There was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first 3 years of your administration. As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled...Was it a mistake to loosen https://t.co/4036d8V61I" / X (twitter.com)

    The bombed interview speaks for itself. I'm wondering this morning how much longer Bill Whitaker will be working for CBS News.

    That was a disaster of an interview. Trump would've been also. Can't believe we are stuck with these 2 idiots as choices.

    Delusional, she did just fine. You can’t have it both ways - you can’t criticize her for not doing interviews, and then criticize her when she does do them. When Trump spews word salad anytime he does an interview you all always respond “at least he does them!” Now that you can’t play that card, you immediately pivot again. Lol. Can’t make this shit up.

    Just because I’m voting for Trump doesn’t mean I think he’s smart or a nice guy. I can’t stand listening to him pontificate and go off topic consistently. However, no one on the left can even slightly admit this lady is an idiot? She’s the nominee so she must be the greatest thing ever? As someone else pointed out in this thread I cannot believe these are the two we have to choose from.

    It is because she is not an idiot. Is she the greatest, smartest person in the world? Absolutely not, but she is far more intelligent than the person you are voting for.

    Today Trump said he had never heard of a Category 5 Hurricane. Um, one went right over Mar a Lago ya moron!

    The only ones whining about "these are our two choices?" are republicans because they are putting up one the worst human beings on the face of the earth.

    You don’t get to project your candidate’s frailties on Harris. If you’re comfortable voting for the traitorous senile rapist felon fraudster, you need to ask yourself who the idiot is.

    TIL Storm front is an actual website.

    Now the character in The Boys makes even more sense.

    Only ones whining are republicans? Sure, keep thinking that...

    And pretty much no one on the left thinks Harris would be the nominee if Biden had announced he wasn't running for re-election and there was an open primary. It's what it is. Trump is a terrible human being and unfit for office and Harris has flip-flopped on so many issues that many people don't know what to believe. Harris can't do an unscripted interview with someone intelligent to save her life.

    It's so hilarious that you watched the whole thing! Proof that MAGA are masochists in addition to being easily-programmable bots. LOL! You're like the liberals who used to prop up Rush Limbaugh's ratings.

    And nobody cares because nobody watched it. She'll get my spite vote just like Trump in '16, but I'm not going to subject myself to a full interview.

    She's not dangerous, which MAGA is. It's just you'll have to settle for another 4 years of feckless leadership. Not horrible, but not great either. Trump is just too much of a crap shoot and I'll never trust a movement that passes on a 35-0 shutout and corresponding mandate (DeSantis/Haley) for a coin flip in OT. Further, a coin flip for an idiot who will say and do anything to make himself more popular and is backed by a core that is the dumbest voting block in the history of electoral politics.

    Not an idiot. But hey, name calling is the order of the day right?

    Greatest candidate? no

    Who has called for the execution of a military general?

    Who has called our fighting men and women suckers, and losers

    Who urged a violent overthrow of our country?

    Who committed treason?
