In a recent interview, Trump highlighted what \u200dhe views as \u2064Harris&#8217;s significant shortcomings, labeling her as &#8220;not very smart&#8221; and criticizing her reluctance to engage\u200d in live interviews with the press.\u200d He pointed out \u200bher perceived lack of authenticity and\u200b intellectual dishonesty, citing instances where she \u200dhas shifted her\u200b positions on key\u2064 issues. Trump expressed skepticism about her\u200d upcoming taped interview with CNN, questioning why she has not\u200d been more accessible to \u200cjournalists. He suggested that her appearance might involve Democratic \u200bGovernor\u200b Tim Walz\u200b stepping in to address questions she\u2063 cannot handle. The piece implies\u2062 that the media\u200d is\u200d playing a protective role regarding Harris, shielding\u200d voters from a \u2064clearer view of her performance and abilities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If voters ever saw an unfiltered version of Vice President Kamala Harris, they would recoil in large numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the establishment media will protect the astoundingly unimpressive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a> for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>In a clip from an interview with Rob Crilly of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-13790179\/donald-trump-cnn-questions-kamala-harris-interview-democratic-candidate-election.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.K. Daily Mail<\/a>, posted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X on Thursday, former President Donald Trump reminded Americans of Harris&rsquo;s glaring shortcomings by referring to her as &ldquo;not very smart.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Crilly began by asking Trump about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/carson-points-out-that-every-democratic-plan-has-backfired-in-trumps-favor-as-seen-in-the-bible-2\/\" title=\"Carson points out that every Democratic plan has backfired in Trump&#039;s favor, as seen in the Bible\">vice president&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s forthcoming interview with CNN&rsquo;s Dana Bash on Thursday.

Consequently, mainstream media will continue to shield the notably underwhelming vice president for as long as they can. In a segment from an interview with Rob Crilly of the U.K. Daily Mail shared on the social media platform X, former President Donald Trump highlighted Harris&#8217;s significant shortcomings by labeling her as &#8220;not very smart.&#8221; Crilly initiated the conversation by asking Trump about Harris&#8217;s upcoming interview with CNN\u2019s Dana Bash, in which she will be joined by her troubled running mate, Democratic Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. Trump remarked on how unusual it is that she has gone months without engaging with the press.<\/p>\n<p>The former president then took several minutes to emphasize Harris&#8217;s intellectual dishonesty and lack of authenticity, noting her inconsistent stances on key issues and how she has co-opted popular proposals from Trump. He also criticized the Democratic Party for promoting Harris over President Joe Biden. When asked what questions he would like Bash to ask Harris, Trump expressed his curiosity about why she couldn&#8217;t handle a live solo interview given her infrequent interactions with the press; he argued that a taped interview wouldn&#8217;t address concerns regarding her qualifications for presidency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s not even an interview,&#8221; he stated critically. He further asserted that &#8220;she\u2019s not very smart,&#8221; suggesting that Walz would likely step in to respond to questions that Harris might struggle with herself. &#8220;I can\u2019t imagine why everyone is eager for her to do an interview when she&#8217;s had such significant failures in past interviews,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump expressed his desire for Bash to question Harris about topics like open borders and electric vehicle mandates\u2014issues where she has changed her position multiple times. He accurately pointed out that those managing Harris have kept her away from public scrutiny as much as possible, evident in their recent unsuccessful attempt to change debate rules ahead of a presidential debate scheduled for September 10 on ABC. Meanwhile, it seems likely that mainstream media will continue protecting voters from experiencing all aspects of Kamala Harris\u2014confusing statements included<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2333720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/harris-trump-3.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[6234,32438,4188,32171,3634],"class_list":["post-2333719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-interview","tag-kamala-harris","tag-media","tag-political-commentary","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/harris-trump-3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2333719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2333720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2333719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2333719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2333719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
