On Wednesday evening, it finally happened. After months of slobbering coverage from the mainstream press, a credible journalist sat down with Kamala Harris and asked her real questions. To put it lightly, the interview, which occurred on Fox News, was a disaster for the vice president. 

As RedState reported, Harris appeared unprepared and unable to answer basic inquiries. When she would deflect, Bret Baier would press her for clarity, and that would lead to various levels of floundering.

Here are just a few of the highlights (or lowlights, if you prefer).

Kamala Harris still doesn't have an actual answer for what she'd do differently as president than Joe Biden. pic.twitter.com/TWMEJBmjAo

Wow. This section on transgenderism was another dodge for Kamala Harris.

.@BretBaier: So, are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates to detained illegal aliens on inmates to transgender?

On illegal immigration, Harris had zero answers, instead repeatedly claiming that had Congress just passed an amnesty bill she supported, everything would have been fine. As Baier noted, though, her administration decided to release unvetted people into the United States interior. When offered the chance to take any responsibility for those who have died due to her policies, she refused.

On transgenderism and taxpayer money being used, the vice president deflected, blaming Donald Trump. On the cardinal issue of how she'd be a change from President Joe Biden, Harris had no answer. When pressed about American voters and their views on the direction of the country, she talked about Trump again.

So what did we learn here? First and foremost, we learned that Harris believes she's losing. There is no universe where she sits down with Bret Baier just for giggles. The vice president thinks she needs a boost, and going on Fox News is as much about providing fodder for CNN, MSNBC, and The New York Times as it is about speaking to the American people. Right on cue, figures like Brian Stelter and Adam Kinzinger were calling Baier a "Trump surrogate" while lavishing praise on Harris' performance.

This is going to be described as Harris going into the "lion's den" or some variation. The headlines will claim she took everything Baier threw at her and presented herself as ready for the presidency. Anyone who watched the interview knows that was completely false, but when has the truth ever mattered the the legacy media?

Which brings me to my next point. If we learned one thing from this Harris interview, it's that there is no there, there. She is, in my estimation, the most unprepared, unthoughtful person to ever run for the presidency on a major party ticket. Everything about her is overproduced and underrehearsed. What I mean by that is that while Harris is clearly being fed talking points by her handlers, she is too lazy and unqualified to deliver them coherently. 

This is a bloodbath. Harris may be the most unprepared presidential candidate in history.

There’s nothing here. She’s the epitome of an empty suit, talking in circles, desperately trying to hide her vapidity. pic.twitter.com/lsN6muXGkG

I mean, look at this. 

🚨Kamala Harris is the same radical she’s always been:@BretBaier: “In 2019, you supported allowing illegals to apply for drivers' licenses, qualify for free tuition at universities, and get free healthcare. Do you still support those things?”

Kamala: “That was five years ago.” pic.twitter.com/fzeooR07GB

How is it that less than three weeks from election day, Harris still hasn't figured out how to respond to questions about her past policy positions? Perhaps there is no good answer to someone changing almost every viewpoint they claimed to have during their last presidential run, but I'd posit there's a better answer than "that was five years ago." 

In the end, it wasn't Harris' answers that told us the most. It was her non-answers that provided the best window into what she will be if she manages to win the 2024 election. This was a chance for the vice president to show up prepared and ready to speak about the issues Americans care about. Not how bad Donald Trump is, but what she supports. She bombed, and in that sense, we learned a lot from this interview and none of it was positive.
