Trump takes swipe at 'weak and soft' Fox News over upcoming Harris interview
Former President Trump seemingly mocked Fox News Monday evening, after the network announced that Vice President Harris agreed to sit for an interview, calling the outlet "weak and soft."
"Lyin’ Kamala Harris has wisely chosen Bret Baier, of FoxNews, to do a much needed interview, because he is considered to be “Fair & Balanced,” though often very soft to those on the “cocktail circuit” Left," he wrote Monday on Truth Social.
"I would have preferred seeing a more hard hitting journalist, but Fox has grown so weak and soft on the Democrats, constantly polluting the airwaves with unopposed Kamala Representatives, that it all doesn’t matter anymore," he added. "Hopefully, the people will understand on November 5th, and Early Voting. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
The former president's swipe came after Harris was pressured for weeks over her lack of sit-down interviews with mainstream outlets.
Fox News revealed Monday that the vice president would sit for her first-ever sit-down interview with the network. Baier said in a post online Monday afternoon that it would be pre-taped and include "minimal" editing — after Republicans alleged Harris's first major interview as the Democratic nominee with CNN in August was edited, which the outlet denied.
Harris has appeared in a variety of different traditional and nontraditional media as of late, targeting key voting blocs with the election less than a month away — including interviews on ABC's "The View," CBS's "60 Minutes," "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert, and "The Howard Stern Show."
Her campaign has flipped the script on Trump, questioning why the former president has been absent from mainstream media.
“Today marks one month since Donald Trump sat down with mainstream reporters,” Harris campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement Monday. “He pulled out of 60 Minutes. He’s refusing to debate. And he’s refusing to release his medical records. What’s he hiding?”
Harris's interview with Fox News, conducted from Pennsylvania, will air Wednesday at 6 p.m. EDT during the network’s “Special Report” newscast.
