Fox News host Bret Baier has said he "did make a mistake" during his interview on Wednesday with Vice President Kamala Harris and that he had intended to show a clip of Donald Trump making comments about "the enemy from within." During a sometimes heated interview, Baier challenged the Democratic presidential nominee over the Biden administration's positions on immigration, crime and transgender health. They also discussed whether Trump, her Republican opponent, represents a threat to American democracy.

Harris' appearance on the conservative-leaning network came as polls indicate the race between her and Trump remains close, with the election analytics website 538 giving Harris a 52 percent chance of victory versus Trump's 48 percent. In a further bid to widen her appeal, the vice president is reportedly considering an appearance on comedian Joe Rogan's podcast, which is particularly popular among young men.

In an interview broadcast on Sunday, Trump spoke with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, who asked him about comments made by President Joe Biden. The president said earlier this month that he wasn't sure the 2024 presidential election would be peaceful. Trump told Bartiromo: "I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Not even the people that have come in and destroying our country—by the way, totally destroying our country. The towns, the villages, they're being inundated.

But I don't think they're the problem in terms of Election Day. I think the bigger problem are the people from within. "We have some very had (sic) people. We have some sick people—radical left lunatics. And I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, National Guard or if really necessary by the military."

1. Brett's Trap blew up in his face so he blamed his producers for the wrong video

Fox Lies to cover Fox Lies so they can perpetuate more Fox Lies

The video was no mistake. It was a switcheroo, and she caught on right away. You could see the slight smile on her face and widening eyes even before he finished his question. She was ready, and pounced on it.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. It was definitely intentional

in order to gish gallop her through the interview.

But see they also forget that she is from the same state as this woman -

[epreic01]

17. Exactly.

That was not an accident. Your ass got caught and you’re trying to clean up your reputation to being back to mediocrity.

[Walleye]

2. The mistake he made was thinking he could get away with it

[underpants]

4. and thinking he was anywhere near her level

[drmeow]

46. This! nt

[C0RI0LANUS]

7. Spot on.

[Septua]

3. He did NOT make a mistake.

He got caught in an attempt to misinform viewers and had to make up a lie to explain it.

[GreenWave]

5. He had to have notes, he was so ill prepared.

[CrispyQ]

16. Notes in two columns.

WHAT WE'VE TOLD PEOPLE .........................THE TRUTH

"You & I both know..." She said that at least two times & he never denied it!!

One DUer said they didn't turn away from Fox fast enough & they caught the first part of the after-show & heard one of the hosts say, "I didn't see any joy." Ha ha ha. You thought you were going to get the laughing, smiling, joyful candidate & instead you got the prosecutor.

[SergeStorms]

39. And had they got.....

the laughing, smiling, joyful candidate they would have torn her apart for that. No matter what she said or did, they were going to dislike her immensely.
I'm glad she was herself and didn't take any crap from the enemy's propagandist. 😁

[catbyte]

6. Baier's "mistake" was acting like an arrogant jackass and did nothing but remind the women of

America why they dumped an obnoxious boyfriend or overbearing first husband.

And we all know he's a liar. He knew what clip that was.

[LittleGirl]

37. Ding ding ding, that's it exactly! nt

[twodogsbarking]

8. It he only had a brain. do do ta do.

[littlemissmartypants]

9. Who cares. "Time to turn the page..."

In the words of our future President Kamala Harris. ❤️

[Dem2theMax]

11. Doesn't count unless he does this on Fox News,

at the top of every hour, until the election. And after he admits it, they show the full clip of Trump saying what he said. It's the only fair way to make sure that every Fox viewer gets to see the truth.

[Jerry2144]

12. It was a battle of wits and her wits outnumbered

the total combined wits for that organization. 2 to 1

[mwb970]

13. Some "mistake".

trump cultists even lie about lying.

[dlk]

14. Accidentally on purpose...

Baier is so thoroughly accustomed to peddling lies, he thought he could get away with it. Instead, Harris brilliantly showed the world who he really is.

[Kid Berwyn]

29. "#$%@!! No one's ever stood up to me before."

As if.

[hibbing]

15. hahaha, good one! n/t

[Clouds Passing]

18. The only mistake Baier made was treating our sitting Vice President with utter contempt.

[ShazzieB]

31. That, and drastically underestimating her.

If he'd researched her just a little bit, he would have known better than to pull a stunt like that. But he did not bother. Instead, he assumed she'd be a pushover. After all, she's "just" a woman.

He strikes me as the type of man who is very confident of his ability to intimidate women and push them around, and when he found out that wasn't going to work with her, he froze. Like most bullies, he's used to relying on his bullying "skills," and he doesn't have anything else to fall back on. Too bad, so sad.

[LittleGirl]

38. I barely recognized him

with all of that botox in his face. It probably bled into his common sense brain parts and lost that ability.

[rondawson]

19. Conservative "leaning" network

To characterize Faux News as "conservative-leaning" is absurd at this point. Try "reactionary", or "propagandist", or just corrupt.

[Martin68]

26. More like conservative-extremist.

[Icanthinkformyself]

20. This elder (73) white guy

is having waves of schadenfreude watching the Convicted Felon and his cult followers being held accountable by strong, competent, intelligent black women. Kamala was forceful without being mean. My sense of Justice is being served. Her interviewer was reduced to a bowl of jello.

[barbtries]

23. he had 2 options in the moment.

go Bill O'Reilly and get really fucking ugly (not a good look), or be civil and be roasted by the capable, qualified, educated, intelligent, knowledgeable, WINNING candidate before him, who happens to be a Democrat, a woman, and a person of color (a large percentage of all the things he hates).

hah

he tried to skillfully catapult the propaganda, he tried talking over her, he looked at her as if she was a thing and not a person, and he lost the debate going away.

[IbogaProject]

21. Racist excuse

He is used to the typical GOP dimwits and can't comprehend that Kamala is bright, highly educated and very capable. This is just a lame attempt to make his disastrous demonstration of his own shortcomings something he did rather then him not being up to their slimy goals. It is kind of pathetic and self demonstrating how often white supremacists come up short and just complain. Never seen such a whiny bunch as the GOP Reich wing.

[barbtries]

22. Right Brett.

you make your living spreading lies and propaganda and we should believe that you accidentally rolled the wrong clip?

man it stinks in here. so much bullshit.

[Javaman]

24. water carrier pissed he was caught with his pants down. fuck him. nt

[Martin68]

25. Baier must be lying because he insisted during the interview that Trump had not threatened Americans, and showed a

clip that showed Trump denying having made threats.

[Botany]

27. Mistake? That video was already loaded and ready to go when V.P. Harris brought up Trump's

…. own words about the enemy within. Brett and Foxes’ mistake was to underestimate
the K-bomb and her skills from years of legal work. A good lawyer does not ask a question
or bring up information that they don’t know the answer and or response to.

Btw I hope Brett Baier’s surgery went well in the removal of Harris’ shoe from his colon
because she broke it off in her ass.

[Mister Ed]

28. He's not a journalist, but he plays one on TV. n/t

[tonekat]

36. Brett Baier and his Snap-On Hair! N/T

[Uncle Joe]

30. His constant interruptions right from the very beginning were a mistake as well, Baier isn't running for President.

The American People need to hear the candidates' words, not those of some oligarch or corporate conglomerate employed mouthpiece.

Thanks for the thread BumRushDaShow

[padah513]

32. When he interviewed President Obama he kept cutting him off too. Bet he wouldn't do it to Trump.

Just a petty and classless guy.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

33. Not much about his "mistake"

Also....*rump is NOT the president.

[Think. Again.]

34. ...

Everybody: "But how do you know he's lying?"

Me: "He's a rightwinger."

[Mz Pip]

35. No mistake

He tried to trip her up but she would have none of it.

[TBF]

40. His mistake was underestimating VIP Harris. nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

41. The only people who will believe that are the folks who already believe Fox News.

The rest of us know better.

[Crowman2009]

42. Oh, like the constant mistakes of putting a (D) next a GOPers name on the cyron.

Whenever they don't tow the FAUX news line. Yeah, sure are a bunch of mistakes they've made over the years.

[Bristlecone]

43. So during his "correction," did he or Fox play the correct video?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

44. Must be getting some nasty feedback from the orange guy

[4lbs]

45. A "mistake"? LOL. His "mistake" was thinking an intelligent woman would put up with his bullshit

and not call him out on it.

Hey whitey, you aren't kissing Dumpy's ass. You actually have to umm... know your shit.

[Mysterian]

47. You have chosen to be a liar and vile fascist propagandist, Baier

That was no mistake. You lack character and integrity.
