The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; worked overtime on Thursday to recast Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>&#8216; latest interview — with Fox News anchor Bret Baier — as a win for Democrats.
Their strategy — which mirrored the strategy adopted by a number of pro-Harris accounts on X — was to attack Baier, suggesting that he was unfair and rude to the Democratic presidential nominee and arguing that he only pushed back on her because she&#8217;s a woman.
Sunny Hostin was first to lodge her complaint, saying, &#8220;He is known for doing the bidding of Fox News, but he ends his show every night as &#8216;fair, balanced and unafraid.&#8217; Well, that was not fair and balanced.&#8221;

Faux conservative clown Alyssa Farah Griffin whines that Baier asked &quot;questions Fox News viewers want answers to&quot; and lies about the clip of Trump he played. Hostin calls it &quot;misinformation.&quot; They also decry that Baier not letting their girl filibuster/lie the entire interview. <a href="https://t.co/7z30SjD4tz">pic.twitter.com/7z30SjD4tz</a>

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin conceded that Baier was asking questions that a number of Americans would like to see answered — and by Harris in particular — but her cohost quickly stepped on her point and went right back to complaining about Baier.
Sara Haines claimed that Harris — who responded to each question by rambling until she found a good point on which to pivot and attack former President Donald Trump — had &#8220;held her own&#8221; and argued that Baier&#8217;s attempts to keep Harris on track amounted to sexism.
&#8220;The constant jumping in, I couldn&#8217;t help but feel it&#8217;s because she&#8217;s a woman,&#8221; she said.

Hostin lashed out at &#8220;America&#8217;s Newsroom&#8221; anchor Dana Perino — who conceded that Harris may have landed at least a few shots on Trump during the interview — and complained that her analysis was ultimately racist.
&#8220;Perino offered this very predictable assessment &#8230; Harris came in hot and then got angrier. &#8230; The angry black woman trope,&#8221; Hostin complained.
The hosts of &#8220;The View&#8221; were not alone in their complaints about Baier, although they were primarily joined by far-Left politicians and media personalities like former Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO).
&#8220;I figured @BretBaier would be tough. I didn’t think he would be downright rude and disrespectful. The VP did great. She is strong. He is scared,&#8221; McCaskill said.

But even as Democrats complained that Baier was especially tough on Harris because she was a woman, video surfaced of Baier interviewing former President Trump — and arguably being much harder on him.

Remember last year when Bret Baier grilled Donald Trump and interrupted him 20+ times in a twenty minute interview?
Far harsher treatment than he gave Kamala, but only now is the media accusing him of a disgusting &quot;ambush.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/R5Kv0buuhB">pic.twitter.com/R5Kv0buuhB</a>
