Here’s what Trump says CNN should ask Kamala: ‘I want to know why all of a sudden…’

August 29, 2024 | | Print Article

Former President Donald Trump knows just the kind of questions Vice President Kamala Harris should be made to answer when she finally does a sit-down interview.

After weeks of evading the press and holding no press conferences following her takeover of the top slot on the Democratic Party ticket, Harris will be sitting for an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash in what is likely to be a non-threatening platform for her campaign. But Harris has already come under fire for bringing along her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to sit alongside her for the pre-taped interview that many characterize as a cop-out.

Trump laid out what the Democrat nominee must be asked by the network host as he spoke with the Daily Mail on why Harris has been working so hard to avoid being interviewed.

“Why isn’t it live? It’s not a live interview,” the Republican nominee noted of the discussion being recorded in Georgia that will certainly be edited before being aired.

“Then she’s doing it with her vice president sitting there. So she’s not very smart. When they ask her a question that she can’t answer, she’ll just look at him: ‘You answer it,'” he said.

“I think it’s crazy. She’s gone months without talking to the press,” Trump added, calling Harris out for trying to re-brand herself in the interim, reversing her stand on some policies and outright copying her rival on others.

“She’s not talking to anybody. She is copying—they would call it flip-flopping on everything she’s believed in for the last 20 years,” Trump said. “She now says, well, she’ll frack and well, she’ll do walls, but she doesn’t mean it because she’s a Marxist.”

“Whether she was a czar or just in charge of the border, she was in charge of the worst border in history. I want to know what happened. Why was she doing that?” Trump asked.

“Then I want to know why is she now all of a sudden, two days ago, she said, No, I’d like to build a wall. After all, she was against the wall for 20 years. She fought me on the wall. She was one of the people that fought,” the former president noted. “If that was the policy she wanted, she could close the border right now.”

“They had three and a half years to do it. They never did it,” he added, echoing the observation of many critics.

“She doesn’t believe in any of this stuff, which tells you, from a character standpoint, it’s terrible,” Trump asserted. “I mean, she’s so dishonest.”

Harris and Trump will meet up in the first presidential debate since President Joe Biden ended his race. They will face off on Sept. 10 in the event hosted by ABC News in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The nominees have gone back and forth over the rules for the event, including whether microphones would be muted when a candidate is done speaking, as was the case when Trump and Biden debated in June.
