Stephanie Ruhle appeared on Friday on Bill Maher’s “Real Time” show and, incredibly, argued that people shouldn’t demand or expect answers from Kamala Harris on the issues since she was running against former President Donald Trump. It was a ridiculous position for someone who claimed to be a journalist arguing against the questioning of a presidential candidate because she supported her.
So perhaps it’s not surprising that Harris who has given very few interviews then gave Ruhle an interview. Harris no doubt thought she could walk through a softball interview with Ruhle after what Ruhle said. She knew she could count on not being pressed, given what Ruhle said.
But even with a softball interviewer who supports her, Harris was still completely vacuous. She had no understanding what she was saying about tariffs or anything else.
She claimed Trump wasn’t serious about it that one has to have a “plan” which is wild given that she’s the one who refuses to enunciate her plans. So what the heck is she even talking about? Doesn’t she even know what a tariff is and she can’t explain why she and Biden kept them — if they’re bad.
Harris is the one who doesn’t seem to understand or care about the bad effect her actions have had on the economy, so it’s all kinds of projection to talk about Trump, who had a booming economy pre-pandemic with low inflation. She’s the one who seems to think we should just anoint her without her having to commit to any plans.
Ruhle actually asks a good question: What happens if you can’t raise corporate taxes, if you don’t get what you want [which is quite likely if the Republicans take the Senate]? Harris just refuses delivery on the question, saying well, we’re going to have to do it.
