The Thursday night pre-taped CNN interview with Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz was so disastrous the network reportedly canned over half of the filmed content and only aired 18 minutes.
The remnants of the discussion CNN did air still resulted in both Harris and Walz failing to adequately answer questions and repeatedly lying.
At one point, CNN’s Dana Bash pointed out Harris has been in office for nearly four years when the Biden VP claimed Americans “deserve a new way forward” so they can “turn the page on the last decade.”
NEW: Kamala Harris says the U.S. needs to “close the page” on the last decade, prompting Dana Bash to point out that a third of that time was with her in office.

Later, Kamala claimed inflation has been “brought down” during her time in office despite the fact it’s double where it was when she and Biden were installed.
Inflation was 1.4% when Kamala and Biden came into office. It went up to 9.1% with their economic policies. Kamala is now bragging about bringing inflation down to double what it was when she took office. Insane that there’s no follow up here. pic.twitter.com/y39wTWmlns

When Walz was asked why he’s repeatedly lied about his time in the National Guard, the Democrat Minnesota governor blamed his grammar and stood by his service record.
Tim Walz asked about lying and claiming he carried weapons in war said, “My grammar’s not always correct.” Holy crap. He’s a moron. He’s had a month to come up with a response and this is it?! pic.twitter.com/wAgPJx470o

Questioned about her racial identity after labeling herself “Indian” for years before suddenly identifying as a black woman, Harris refused to answer, saying, “Next question, please.”

One specific line of word salad from Kamala was widely mocked online.
Rare unscripted moment from Kamala:

Sharp-eyed internet users noticed Harris appeared to be reading off notes during the interview and that CNN slapped the “live” label on the screen despite the fact the discussion was pre-recorded.
Lies on top of lies, wrapped in arrogance and evil. https://t.co/mW3JdF1jPr
