Adam Kinzinger: She went into the lion's den and took them on and stood tall. Fox tried their bs gotchas in their

rightwing reality, and she turned everything deftly back to Trump and held him accountable in his own safe space. She did not let them bait her at all - strong, confident, epic. She totally schooled Bret Baier

Kamala is sitting straight and is listening to what Bret is saying. Bret is leaning toward her aggressively, as if any moment he's going to jump to his feet.

I wasn’t able to watch as my 14 yr old daughter is down with Covid bad. Luckily the wife and I are not showing symptoms but did not get to watch the interview.

Sounds like she was amazing!!

a few kids get 'pantsed' and that's what she did to him from a rhetorical standpoint. Pantsed him REAL good!

She is looking very comfortable even as he is trying to intimidate and overbear. She is not impressed at all. And, as you watch, he starts to unravel a bit because his tricks are not working. It's all in the kinesics.

He kept interrupting Kamala several times when she was trying to answer his foolish questions. Perhaps he didn't know that he was dealing with a brave and knowledgeable woman Undoubtedly, Kamala wiped the floor with Bret and took him out of his league. Oh, boy what a woman!

Well done Madam Vice President 💪🏻

-her economic plans to help the middle class
-reproductive rights
-climate change
-gun control
-tax policy
-healthcare
-Ukraine & Russia
-trade (and especially tariffs)
-education

Bret Baier had NO intention of a meaningful discussion of her policies.

He wanted to paint her in as unfavorable a light as possible. It was like being caught in a rerun of every hyperbolic negative ad manufactured by the Trump campaign and their super PACs.

Bret is nothing but a nasty tool of Trump.

I was nervous early on, when Biden endorsed her as his successor. But she soon surprised me by being an outstanding candidate. I am so looking forward to seeing Harris as president.

That is just waiving the white flag and trying to run out the clock, rather than try to ask her any questions. Fox whines about Democrats not wanting to be interviewed on Fox, then they avoid actually asking her questions and want to play Trump campaign ads to run out the clock.
