Kamala is a terrible candidate. Even Democrat establishments have to admit it.
And now The New York Times completely betrayed Kamala Harris with a devastating report.
A scathing New York Times report took Vice President Kamala Harris to task for her latest softball interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, where once again, Harris danced around giving any straight answers.
Harris, known for her pattern of dodging tough questions, stuck to the same strategy that has become her hallmark: evade, deflect, and offer vague responses.
“Since Ms. Harris began granting more interviews in recent days, her media strategy has been to sit with friendly inquisitors who are not inclined to ask terribly thorny questions or press her when her responses are evasive,” the report observed, pointing out what many have come to expect from the vice president.
Harris, who has been under fire for her lack of transparency and unwillingness to tackle real policy issues, sat down for her first solo network interview just days after Ruhle had jumped to her defense.
Ruhle had previously brushed off criticisms that Harris avoids answering questions and dodges policy specifics—exactly what unfolded during their conversation.
“Ms. Harris responded to the fairly basic and predictable questions with roundabout responses that did not provide a substantive answer,” the report stated, exposing the vice president’s continued refusal to address real issues head-on.
The Times didn’t shy away from pointing out Ruhle’s clear bias, citing her previous defense of Harris on “Real Time with Bill Maher” and noting her cozy interview with President Biden in 2023, where she failed to challenge him on his stumbling responses.
This trend continued as Ruhle avoided pressing Harris on critical topics, such as Biden’s declining health, a subject that Harris has conspicuously tiptoed around despite growing concerns.
“Ms. Ruhle joined Ms. Harris in attacking Mr. Trump (‘His plan is not serious, when you lay it out like that’) and avoided posing tricky questions about positions Ms. Harris supported during her 2020 presidential campaign or what, if anything, she knew about Mr. Biden’s physical condition or mental acuity,” the Times pointedly noted, highlighting how this interview offered Harris yet another platform to sidestep real accountability.
The report even suggested that Harris agreed to the interview specifically because she knew she wouldn’t be challenged—an indictment of both the vice president’s media strategy and Ruhle’s role as an interviewer.
When Ruhle dared to ask a substantive question—where Harris would “get the money” to fund her ambitious economic proposals should Republicans block efforts to raise the corporate tax rate—Harris predictably sidestepped.
“But we’re going to have to raise corporate taxes,” Harris replied, reverting to the well-worn talking point of taxing billionaires and corporations, while completely ignoring the question of how she would proceed if those efforts were thwarted.
In an ironic moment during a later discussion on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, even Ruhle had to concede that Harris “doesn’t answer the question.”
It’s a rare moment of honesty, but one that underscores just how evasive Harris has been throughout her political career.
Kamala Harris’ avoidance of direct answers and substantive discussions continues to raise serious questions about her leadership and transparency—questions that, unsurprisingly, the vice president seems determined to avoid at all costs.
We’ll see if it hurts here at the polls.
