The Daily Mail reports that CNN continues its attacks on Kamala Harris after her live-streamed interview with Oprah Winfrey. The interview, meant to raise campaign funds, drew criticism from CNN commentators. They questioned whether Harris’s approach could cost her the election.
Earlier this week, CNN anchors Dana Bash and Abby Phillip criticized Harris for lacking clear policy proposals. They suggested her vagueness might help Donald Trump win in November. Conservative pundit Scott Jennings also slammed Harris for avoiding tougher media interviews.
Scott Jennings Challenges Harris’s Media Strategy
Jennings didn’t mince words, asking, “When has she sat down with any hostile media?” He accused Harris of only engaging with friendly interviewers. CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams tried to defend her, claiming Winfrey’s support made the interview softer. Jennings quickly pushed back, highlighting the lack of challenging interviews.
Criticism of Harris’s Oprah Interview
Jennings criticized the interview, calling it “an hour of vacuous word salad-tossing.” He noted that most of it lacked substance. Jennings admitted Harris’s comments about gun ownership were helpful but labeled the rest as “really inane banter.” He argued that such interviews damage her public image.
