(New York Post) Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier claimed Wednesday that Kamala Harris’ campaign team pared the allotted time he had with her just before a highly anticipated interview — and then had the vice president show up late.
Baier, a veteran political journalist, compared the Harris campaign’s tactics to a football team “icing the kicker” before an important field goal attempt.
“So, we were supposed to start at 5 p.m. — this was the time they gave us, originally. We’re going to do 25 or 30 minutes,” the host explained.
“They came in and said, ‘Well, maybe 20 [minutes].’ So, it was already getting whittled down,” Baier added.
“And then the vice president showed up at about 5:15 [p.m.].”
The “Special Report” host noted that Harris’ tardiness made it a challenge for his production team to get the interview out at the start of his 6 p.m. show.
