Kamala Harris falls apart on 60 Minutes after host peppers her with tough questions!
NEW YORK (PNN) - October 7, 2024 - Kamala Harris encountered some unexpected pushback during her 60 Minutes interview after being asked to explain her economic policies, causing her to fall flat on her face.
Harris, expecting an easy interview, sat down with host Bill Whitaker to discuss her campaign for president and her policies, which are unknown to many Amerikans. She began by uttering nonsensical remarks about the Middle East as all-out war threatens to break out in the region.
“The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen,” sputtered Harris.
Harris was in for more humiliation when the subject turned to the economy. Whitaker asked her pointed questions regarding her socialist promises, for which she had no answer.
Harris started with a nonsensical word salad about investing in the middle class and small businesses, which did not impress Whitaker. He interrupted Harris and repeated his question.
Harris tried to spin her way out again, this time claiming the “evil” rich would pay for it all without explaining how she would implement her scheme. Understanding how Amerika’s system of government operates, Whitaker told her to start living in the real world and tell him how she would get her economic plan through Congress.
Unsurprisingly, Harris embarrassed herself again and robotically repeated campaign talking points. It almost seems she forgot how legislation is implemented.
HARRIS: My plan is about saying that when you invest in small business, you invest in the middle class, and you strengthen Amerika’s economy. Small businesses are the backbone of Amerika’s economy.
WHITAKER: Pardon me, Madam Vice President. The question was, how are you going to pay for it?
HARRIS: Well, one of the things, I’m gonna make sure that the richest among us, who can afford it, pay their fair share of taxes. It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations, and I plan on making that fair.
WHITAKER: But we are dealing with the real world here.
HARRIS: But the real world includes…
WHITAKER: How are you going to get this through Congress?
HARRIS: You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of folks in Congress, they know exactly what I’m talking about because their constituents know exactly what I’m talking about. Their constituents are those firefighters and teachers and nurses.
