Harris Staffers Now Blaming Media for ‘Dumb’ Questions
The excuses are flowing from the Kamala Harris camp, and they are getting more and more pathetic.
Reports are surfacing from a podcast appearance by a Harris staffer, who is now pointing the finger at the media for too many softball questions.
Mind you, reports surfaced after the Fox News interview that Harris was near tears after Baier put her over the coals.
Not Accepting Blame
When Trump was in office and he blamed other people for his mistakes, I blew him up because I cannot stand when people do not take ownership.
So, you better believe I am going to hammer Harris and her staffers for putting the blame on her disastrous campaign on the media.
In this case, during the “Pod Save America” podcast, Kamala Harris campaign officials Stephanie Cutter and Jen O'Malley Dillon pointed the finger at the media.
Cutter stated, "If you’re a candidate with a limited amount of time to get your voice out there and define yourself, you kind of have to do everything. But did it screw with our narrative?
“Not just in getting s--- not doing enough earned media but getting questions we knew voters were not going to care about. And their myopic mindset on certain issues was not what the race was going to be about.
“So at a certain point, we had to decide ‘is this helping us or hurting us?’"
After Cutter called many of the questions given to Harris “dumb,” Dillon added, "They were not informing a voter who was trying to listen to learn more or to understand. And I’m not here to say that the whole system was focused on us incorrectly.
“I’m just saying, again, of the things we need to explore as we move forward as a campaign and as a country, that does a disservice to voters.”
Harris, for the most part, hand-picked her interviews, even paying huge fees for some of them, and held a meltdown when she did her Fox News interview with Bret Baier.
Harris very easily could have had as much air time as she wanted on Fox, but she was clearly afraid to have people challenge her.
The bottom line here is that, for the most part, Harris was asked the questions she wanted to be asked and that she thought would make her cute and appealing rather than the questions that needed to be asked.
This loss is on Harris... not the media.
