After Republicans tried to criticize Kamala Harris for agreeing to a joint interview with Tim Walz, they got instant reminders of past GOP tickets that did similar joint interviews.

After Republicans tried to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris for agreeing to a joint interview with Tim Walz, they received instant reminders of past GOP tickets that did similar joint interviews.

These criticisms emerged after Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, agreed to sit down with CNN for their first joint interview on Thursday as Democrats aim to build on the momentum generated by last week’s Democratic National Convention.


The interview, hosted by CNN’s chief political correspondent and anchor Dana Bash, is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday. It takes place as the candidates begin a bus tour through the battleground state of Georgia and represents Harris's first in-depth, on-the-record conversation with a journalist since President Joe Biden withdrew from his re-election bid and endorsed her on July 21.

Fox News contributor Ari Fleischer was among a chorus of Republicans who criticized Harris, suggesting that Harris is "afraid" to sit for an interview without Walz present:

"Why is Walz there? Is Harris afraid to stand on her own two feet? Does she need Walz to take half the questions so she talks less? After refusing to do any interviews and hiding for a month, Harris still won’t sit for a 1:1 interview.'
'She is weak and not ready for the job."

Soon after, Columbia University professor and consultant Tom Watson pointed out that former President Donald Trump and Mike Pence, then his running mate, were previously interviewed together on CBS.

Republican strategist Scott Jennings also accused Harris of using Walz as an "emotional support animal":

"Weak sauce for Kamala Harris to demand an emotional support animal for her first interview. Shows an extreme lack of confidence for Thursday night event on [CNN]."

It didn't take long before political consultant Stuart Stevens noted that in 2012, then-GOP nominee Mitt Romney appeared with former House Speaker Paul Ryan for a joint interview:

"[Jennings], when Romney and Ryan gave first interview together, was Ryan the support animal for Romney? Or is that @KamalaHarris is a woman & that makes it different?"

He also pointed out that Jennings had a part in arranging an interview Romney and Ryan did in Powell, Utah, saying that at the time he thought "it was a good interview."

And Mark Knoller, a former correspondent with CBS, also questioned why Harris hadn't chosen to do the interview alone:

"Should CNN have insisted on a one-on-one interview with Harris and turned down a joint interview with Harris and Walz? Too tough to walk away from. But first question to Harris ought to be why should couldn’t appear solo."

You can see his post below.

But media and culture writer Parker Molloy pointed out that Barack Obama and John McCain also sat down for an interview back in the day, to say nothing of Biden and Harris, who did an interview together while campaigning in 2020.

The mockery was swift.


In recent weeks, contrary to complaints that she has not responded to media inquiries, Harris has addressed questions from reporters during her campaign stops in key battleground states and participated in three interviews with content creators and influencers during the Democratic National Convention.

The upcoming interview will give Kamala Harris the opportunity to re-introduce herself and Governor Walz to voters around the country as well as address any questions about her positions on various domestic and international issues.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
