The View Co-hosts Applaud Kamala Harris’ Fox News Interview, Slam Bret Baier

The View Cast

The View’s Thursday panel, decked out in purple for Spirit Day, dissected Kamala Harris’ recent Fox News interview with Bret Baier. Whoopi Goldberg was notably absent (though not due to illness), but the remaining co-hosts, led by Joy Behar, had plenty to say. Behar praised Harris for venturing into “enemy territory” and fact-checking Baier in real-time, a move Donald Trump wouldn’t dare attempt on MSNBC, quipping that Trump “can’t even spell it.”

Sunny Hostin didn’t mince words, calling Baier’s interview tactics unfair and unbalanced, a far cry from his “fair and balanced” sign-off. Hostin highlighted Baier’s past controversies, including alleged pressure to retract Fox News’ Arizona call for Biden in 2020. Alyssa Farah Griffin, while acknowledging mixed reactions to the interview, commended Harris for engaging with Fox News viewers and demonstrating her command of the facts.

Sara Haines criticized Baier’s frequent interruptions, suggesting they were directed at Harris because she’s a woman. Ana Navarro contrasted Harris’ willingness to answer tough questions with Trump’s history of dodging interviews and berating journalists. Hostin summed up the sentiment, declaring Harris looked “like a commander in chief” and expertly dealt with the “angry Black woman” trope. The panel’s overall takeaway? Harris showed up, spoke her mind, and held her own.
