Vance: If Harris can't face media, how can she 'sit in a room with Vladimir Putin?'

J.D. Vance chided Kamala Harris over her lack of candid media interviews during a segment with Fox News host Laura Ingraham Wednesday, suggesting he doesn’t think the vice president could “deal” with world leaders.

“If she can’t face a media that’s fundamentally biased and friendly to her, how is she ever going to sit in a room with Vladimir Putin, or Xi Jinping, or any of the world leaders that you have to deal with as United States president,” Vance said.

In the same interview, Vance deflected questions from Ingraham about whether he’d “be there” to debate Democratic vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz next month on CBS. But Vance preferred to discuss Harris’ alleged press shyness.

“She’s terrified of the media. She's terrified of taking tough questions and the critics say it's because she’s not that smart and I actually disagree with that,” Vance said. “I think it’s because she knows that if her real views come out, the American people are never going to support a dangerous radical.”

Vance then went on to invoke one of Donald Trump’s favorite talking points and accuse Harris’ policies of turning San Francisco into a “disaster.”
