Critics, including former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson, suggested that Baier and his team should have recognized the error at the time and \u2063corrected it immediately. Despite his acknowledgment of the mistake, public sentiment remained critical, with many\u200c believing Baier&#8217;s explanation lacked sincerity.  <\/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 (AC1)\")<\/script><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>Fox News anchor Bret Baier said a mistake was made during his Wednesday interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I did make a mistake, and I want to say I did make a mistake,&rdquo; Baier said in a video clip <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MikeSington\/status\/1847062925657207129\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted to X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;When I called for a soundbite, I was expecting a piece of the &lsquo;enemy from within&rsquo; from Maria Bartiromo&rsquo;s interview, to be tied to the piece from your town hall, Harris, where you ask the former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-taking-regeneron-drug-remdesivir-therapy-for-coronavirus-diagnosis-ex-wh-doctor-explains\/\" title=\"Trump taking Regeneron drug, Remdesivir therapy for coronavirus diagnosis: ex-WH doctor explains\">president<\/a> about the enemy from within.

Baier later presented both clips: one featuring former President Donald Trump discussing the &#8220;enemy from within,&#8221; and another where Trump clarified that his remarks were not meant as threats and joked about investigations against him. Harris pointed out that the clip aired did not accurately represent Trump&#8217;s repeated statements regarding this topic, emphasizing that he has suggested turning military forces against American citizens and targeting peaceful protesters.
