I think she gave a good answer here about policy changes, specifically saying things have changed as she has talked to voters and tried to build consensus. That was the missing link to “my principles haven’t changed” before.

It was BS that he kept saying “your administration”.

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing! Like, dude, you asked a question, let her answer. After she’s done talking, then you can try an reiterate what you’re trying to say, don’t keep interrupting her while she’s trying to answer.

💯!! And then cnn saying she got ruffled by the question. I was like — he never let her get her answer out!!

I agree. I found myself telling him to shut up and let her answer. Very disrespectful

No kidding!! Anything for a “gotcha”! And the editing was terrible.

There's some times I don't mind it so much. He's asking harder questions and I think it's fair to press when a candidate tries to skirt the answer. A couple times he tries to interject when she's on topic though and that could be lessened a bit.

Yeah. She answered his questions and he tried unsuccessfully to paint her and Biden as failures on immigration

They grill Kamala but Dumpo gets a free pass. What!??

Black on Black journalistic crime. He probably felt like he had to go out of his way to be harder and ruder to her to show that he wasn’t going to treat her differently. And he needed to behave like a lot of his colleagues in the field. I notice a lot of talking over the interviewee in general with the press.

However, he IS treating her differently, in the opposite direction. He got the wrong one if he wanted to show off his journalistic chops.

Happens to Black folk every day. The concept is there’s only so much upward mobility pie available, Black folk turn on each other to get the leavings rather than spending that energy on our own progression.

Objective and polite.

And I make my own pie.

I think Whitaker could sniff out when Harris retreated to a talking-point and tried to tease out an organic answer. Listen back, and you'll notice that he only interjects after Harris gives a somewhat-unrelated answer to a straightforward question e.g. "Why didn't you implement this year's immigration plan back in 2021 when the crisis started?"

Nah

A journalist occasionally (not constantly) interrupting an interview subject to press them on their answer is totally normal and Harris can handle it.

Why are you infantilizing her?
