FINALLY FACED WITH HARD QUESTIONS ON BORDER, HARRIS HAS NO ANSWERS. With the exception of one cordial but somewhat challenging segment on 60 Minutes, Vice President Kamala Harris has spent her entire presidential candidacy going from one softball media appearance to another. That ended Wednesday night when she sat for an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Finally, Harris faced probing and persistent questions about her record as vice president and plans for the presidency. And in 27 minutes of back-and-forth, she had virtually no answers. She pushed back hard but, for all her words, had little to say. (I should note at the beginning that I am a Fox News contributor, and I appear on Baier’s program Special Report.)
The interview began, and devoted the most time to, the debacle on the U.S.-Mexico border, which under Harris and President Joe Biden has seen millions of migrants cross illegally into the United States. Baier started with the most straightforward question imaginable: “How many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has released into the country over the last 3 1/2 years?”
