Why does Kamala Harris avoid tough interviews despite being thin-skinned?
Kamala Harris’s upcoming solo interview with national reporter MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle comes as a surprise, especially after Ruhle publicly mentioned that Harris owes the American people no interviews. This lack of real media scrutiny raises questions about how Harris will govern if elected.
During a debate on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Ruhle defended Harris for avoiding real media scrutiny, stating that Harris isn’t running for perfection but is running against Trump. This raises concerns as Harris has only appeared in interviews with friendly faces like Oprah Winfrey, Dana Bash, and now Stephanie Ruhle.
Ruhle’s alignment with #Khive and positioning herself as a journalist against true journalism indicates a bias in favor of Harris. This protective environment around Harris highlights her discomfort with tough questions and her lack of depth on critical issues.
While Harris’s team portrays this avoidance of traditional interviews as being progressive and forward-thinking, it raises doubts about her ability to handle challenging situations, such as conflicts in the Middle East. The reluctance to engage in tough questioning suggests Harris may not be prepared for the demands of the presidency.
Contrasting Harris’s approach, Donald Trump and JD Vance have shown willingness to engage with a variety of interviewers, including combative ones. This openness stands in stark contrast to Harris’s carefully curated interview choices and avoidance of tough questioning.
Overall, Harris’s avoidance of challenging interviews and reliance on friendly faces for coverage raises concerns about her readiness for the presidency and ability to handle difficult situations.
