Add some former Fox News colleagues of embattled host Bret Baier to the list of people who weren't impressed by how he conducted himself during his interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

With various political observers calling his hectoring of Donald Trump's presidential opponent "embarrassing," "insufferable" and "obnoxious," media analyst Justin Baragona reported that two former Fox News producers joined the pile-on.

On X, Baragonna of Zeteo News wrote he was the recipient of texts after the contentious interview drew to a close on Wednesday night.

He wrote, "A former Fox producer just sent me this reaction: 'Baier showed, again, he's not a 'straight news" anchor. He's a hack who's no different than Hannity or Watters. He bowed to the pressure from his MAGA fans because he doesn't care as long as they don't change the channel.'"

Moments later he added, "Another ex-Fox News producer also texted me that it's 'so interesting to see Bret Baier for who he really is now that I'm on the outside looking in, adding that Baier is 'just so completely in the tank it's hard to believe anyone sees him as a real journalist.'"

Donald Trump jumped on Truth Social late Wednesday night to weigh in on Vice President Kamala Harris' Fox News interview with host Bret Baier.

Following the interview that drew the ire of many viewers because Baier continued to talk over his guest and refused to let her finish her answers, the former president accused his presidential opponent of suffering from "Trump derangement syndrome."

On Truth Social he said in response, "Great job by Bret Baier in his Interview with Lyin’ Kamala Harris. She has a massive and irredeemable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME - So bad, in fact, that she is barely able to talk about any subject other than the man who had the best economy ever, the strongest border in history, and who just got the UNANIMOUS ENDORSEMENT OF THE U.S. Border Patrol, ME!"

He then added, "Their Endorsement was a TREMENDOUS HONOR!!! They said that Comrade Kamala did a terrible job, the absolute worst in memory, and can’t be allowed to do it again."

"She is also the WORST Vice President in history, but hopefully will soon be GONE. Again, congratulations to Bret Baier on a tough but very fair interview, one that clearly showed how totally incompetent Kamala is. For the good of our Nation, her inferior Cognitive ability must be tested at once!" he concluded.

In the days leading up to his sit-down interview with Vice President Kamala Harris to be broadcast on Wednesday, Fox New host Bret Baier is working overtime on social media asking hard core conservatives to calm down and watch the final result.

According to CNN media analyst Brian Stelter, Biaer has been actively replying to naysayers and conspiracy-minded Donald Trump supporters who fear he'll handle Harris with kid gloves.

In a thread on X, Stelter wrote the embattled Baier is "keenly aware" of dissatisfaction by MAGA supporters over giving the Democratic nominee for president a platform to spread her message.

"As soon as Baier announced his Harris sit-down, uber-skeptical commenters on this site replied with doubts and conspiracy theories. 'This interview will be as watered down as they come.' 'No doubt she already has the list of Q's.' 'I don't trust Fox and I trust Baier even less,'" the CNN analyst wrote.

Pointing to new Gallup polling that shows Fox is no longer the favored conservative network among Trump devotees, Stelter explained, Baier, "has been replying to skeptics on X, and addressing the matter on his nightly show, promising that his interview with Harris will be 'unedited' – in contrast to some of the VP's other interviews – and 'uninterrupted.'" And then adding, "The anchorman has also been responding to X users to tell them that Harris doesn't have access to his questions in advance, and 'there were no preconditions to get the interview.'"

According to Stelter, "Baier is bending over backwards to explain the basics of TV news to an audience that automatically assumes the worst. It's a sad sign of our distrusting times."
