In a segment reacting to his own contentious interview, Baier conceded that Harris may have gotten exactly what she wanted from that interview.

“I think she had a … a mission, that she wanted to do. And maybe, she wanted to have a viral moment, she wanted to have a pushback,” Baier said. “She came to Fox News and she wanted to have a ‘go after Donald Trump’ viral moment that plays on other channels, and on social media. And I think she may have gotten that.”

And Faux wasn't looking for a viral gotcha moment when they invited her?

I gotta say... I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Kamala but she is a pretty terrific speaker. Granted the bar has been buried underground for a bit now so my reference may be skewed but it is pretty nice to just see someone eloquently speak, be coherent, respectful, be decisive and concise, and actually say meaningful answers to each question. I have a feeling being in a courtroom for so long may have helped. As well as a career in law and government. Almost as if relevant experience is important or something... But I digress.

He works for Faux News. How hard could it be though?

Not too bright of a plan, trying to out talk a lawyer. I think they are huffing trumps diaper fumes and believe his low IQ summary of Kamala.

They thought she'd be a sitting duck because she completely whiffed her interview on The View.
