SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly said on Friday that CNN host Dana Bash “didn’t have the stones” to press Vice President Kamala Harris or her running mate Tim Walz, allowing her to avoid explaining her policy reversals during their first joint interview.
CNN on Thursday released a nearly half-hour interview of Harris and Walz answering questions from Bash about their campaign. While Kelly acknowledged Bash is a “real journalist,” she argued that the CNN host didn’t “press” Harris because she knew the vice president “couldn’t take it.”
“I’m sorry, Dana Bash, I’m disappointed. I actually like Dana, she’s tough to dislike. She’s a nice person and honestly she’s a real journalist — she really is. She’s not like some of these other hacks, but she fell down on the job last night. There’s no question,” Kelly said.
“My overall take — can I tell you? Is that this is what happens when you have a meek person interviewed by a meek journalist — that’s what we saw. I don’t wish to personally offend her, but that’s what I saw. She didn’t have the stones to really press Kamala Harris and I think that’s because she knew Kamala Harris couldn’t take it,” Kelly continued. “So she went very gently with her and as a result we didn’t get Kamala Harris really pressed on any answers and we didn’t see her in any uncomfortable position — which is your job.”
Kelly continued to call out Bash by stating she “failed the profession and the country” as she’s been the only person to interview the potential next president of the United States.
