'See what they did?!' MSNBC host stunned as Fox News plays 'selectively edited' Trump clip

MSNBC host Chris Hayes shredded Fox News host Bret Baier on Wednesday night for playing a “selectively edited clip” of former President Donald Trump during his interview with Kamala Harris – which the vice president and social media users also criticized.

Columnist highlights why some Black men are losing faith in Democrats

If Vice President Kamala Harris slips in support with Black men, as some polls have warned, there are a few factors that could be behind it, New York Times columnist Charles Blow wrote in a lengthy analysis Wednesday.

Blow remains skeptical that the shift in the polls, which has prompted urgent calls to arms from key leaders like former President Barack Obama, is capturing a real phenomenon, and even so, Harris is certain to win Black men overall — but in his anecdotal experience, he has run into some Black men who have grown frustrated with the Democratic Party, and there are multiple reasons for it.

Kamala Harris had a game plan in taking on 'adversarial' Fox News interviewer: analyst

Vice President Kamala Harris found herself under heavy fire from the word go when she sat for an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, who pressed her on everything from immigration to transgender rights to the economy and sought to soften Trump's threats to use the military on his political opponents when Harris broached the subject.

But while Harris knew she was in unfriendly territory going on the nation's largest right-leaning cable network, she had a very distinct plan going into it, CNN media analyst Brian Stelter said on a panel afterward.

As soon as Vice President Kamala Harris' interview with Fox News host Bret Baier began, the two sparred on the topic of immigration — with Harris reminding Baier that the Biden administration fought for a comprehensive border security solution only for former President Donald Trump to work behind the scenes to kill it.

"When you came into office, your administration immediately reversed a number of Trump border policies," said Baier, specifically noting the Remain in Mexico policy. "Looking back, do you regret the decision to terminate Remain in Mexico at the beginning of your administration?"
