MSNBC Host Says Trump Poses ‘Threat’ To ‘Democracy,’ Defends Harris’s Lack Of Policy Clarity

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle defended Vice President Kamala Harris’ failure to provide detailed answers on policy questions Friday night, citing the “threat” Ruhle claims former President Donald Trump poses to democracy.

In the few interviews Harris has taken since President Joe Biden announced the end of his reelection bid, she has avoided giving detailed answers about policy. Ruhle mocked New York Times columnist Bret Stephens when he said Harris should be questioned on foreign policy during an episode of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

“I’m an undecided voter,” Stephens said. “I’m never going to vote for Trump, but I’m not sure I want to vote for Kamala and my fear is that she doesn’t really have a very good command of what she wants to do as president.” Stephens added that Harris could answer questions on foreign policy, including whether or not she’d support a Palestinian state run by Hamas, citing the failure of then-Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush to know world leaders during his 2000 campaign.
