The View Calls Bret Baier Sexist for Not Giving Kamala Softball Interview Like Them

News & Politics

Bret Baier’s interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News was nothing like the gushfest she was treated to by her super fans on ABC’s The View; because she was asked tough, important questions, and wasn’t allowed to filibuster or lie. So, of course, that made Baier sexist according to the haters on Thursday’s episode of The View. They also smeared Fox News host Dana Perino by suggesting she was racist because she dared to criticize Harris’s nasty attitude during the interview.

Staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) praised Harris for going on Fox News and insisted she managed to get Fox viewers to vote for her. “I think that there will be people that will change their minds. I think there will be people that were very shocked at that,” she proclaimed. “So the reason she appeared on Fox News is because she knows that there are openings for her there.”

She then lashed out at Baier, and laughably claimed he was a puppet of the “pro-Trump audience”:

But, you know, Bret Baier, he did himself a disservice by doing what he did. He is known for doing the bidding of Fox News. But he ends his show every night as fair, balanced, and unafraid. Well, that was not fair and balanced and he has this history of appeasing the network’s pro-Trump audience.

That was rich coming from a Harris interviewer whose idea of a pressing question was: “What do you think would be the biggest specific difference between your presidency and a Biden presidency?”

Harris may have given an answer bad enough to be clipped for campaign ads, but the question was obviously meant to be a softball.

The untruthful accusation of sexism against Baier came from pretend moderate Sara Haines. According to her warped reality, not allowing Harris to filibuster, lie, and spew platitudes (all things The View allowed) were only done “because she’s a woman.” “So, it got hard to watch at times,’ she griped.

Ironically, Haines made that false assertion after first interrupting her co-host, faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin. So, was she sexist?

As for Farah Griffin, she huffed that Baier asked “the questions Fox News viewers want answers to” and falsely claimed he was “misrepresenting Trump’s words” to spin them in a positive light; when in reality, he teed the clip up by noting it was Trump’s reaction criticism of what he said.

Near the end of the segment, Hostin was back to lash out at Perino for daring to criticize Harris’s obvious anger at actually being asked tough questions. Hostin suggested Perino was trafficking in a racist “trope.”

“Dana Perino right after this panel offered this very predictable assessment. She said Harris came in hot and then got angrier. It’s the angry black woman trope,” she decried.

Hostin has a history of racism on the show and she particularly hates white women, who she described as “roaches” if they vote Republican. She’s also repeatedly lashed out at the interracial marriages and relationships of black male Republicans with white partners, even suggesting the white women were puppeteering them.

SUNNY HOSTIN: I think that there will be people that will change their minds. I think there will be people that were very shocked at that. I was shocked in real time because you have people that are never-Trumpers that watch Fox News. You have independents that watch Fox News. You have Democrats that watch Fox News. So the reason she appeared on Fox News is because she knows that there are openings for her there.

But, you know, Bret Baier, he did himself a disservice by doing what he did. He is known for doing the bidding of Fox News. But he ends his show every night as fair, balanced, and unafraid. Well, that was not fair and balanced and he has this history of appeasing the network’s pro-Trump audience.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: But on the Bret Baier of it. I think the questions he asked were the questions Fox News viewers want answers to but I think he did himself a huge disservice by using that clip which was misrepresenting Trump’s words.

HOSTIN: It was misinformation.

FARAH GRIFFIN: It was wrong and I think he interrupted her way too much. It was just not —

SARA HAINES [interrupting]:  That – That to me looked – The constant jumping in, I couldn’t help but feel it’s because she’s a woman that he’s going to keep doing this. So, it got hard to watch at times.

But I think she did a huge service to herself going exactly where people are. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is canceling interviews from 60 Minutes to CNBC, NBC –

JOY BEHAR [Interrupting]: He’s scared!

HOSTIN: He’s in hiding.

BEHAR: He’s scared!

HAINES: — and she’s going to Fox where – I said this the other day – you allow yourself to define who you are. If they hear it from your mouth people aren’t just talking about it. So people are going to watch and see how she held her own.

HOSTIN: She looked presidential! She was strong. And I think most importantly, this notion of humility. You need to be humble. You can’t be passionate. What I was really distressed at —

BEHAR: You can’t be passionate?

HOSTIN: You can’t be passionate. It’s described as aggressive.

BEHAR: Who said that?

HOSTIN: Well, Dana Perino right after this panel offered this very predictable assessment. She said Harris came in hot and then got angrier. It’s the —

BEHAR: She did not! That’s baloney.

HOSTIN: It’s the angry black woman trope. The bottom line –

BEHAR: She never was angry.

HOSTIN: — she was showing passion and a command of the facts.

BEHAR: He was angry. To me Bret was acting like the prosecutor.

HOSTIN: And came in hot.

BEHAR: She’s the prosecutor.

We have to go. We’ll be right back. I’m sorry.
