What was expected to be an easy interview with a friendly outlet became an utter train wreck when CNN’s Anderson Cooper pressed Kamala Harris on numerous flip-flops during a town hall Wednesday.
One of the most brutal moments came when Harris refused to directly answer Cooper’s question on why she switched positions from calling former President Donald Trump’s southern border wall “stupid” to supporting a bill that would continue wall construction.
After Kamala delivered a circular word salad non-response, Cooper followed up, asking, “So you don’t think a wall is stupid anymore?”
Harris previously had vocal criticism of Trump’s wall, which she once dubbed a “medieval vanity project.”
But earlier this year, she began using Trump’s wall in her ads.

If even *ABC* is calling her out for her hypocrisy, you know it’s REALLY bad 🤣 pic.twitter.com/R9DakoOKw5
The rest of the town hall didn’t go well either, as Kamala struggled to defend why she as Biden’s “border czar” never tried to stem illegal immigration with an executive order until just recently, prompting Cooper to utter a familiar Trump attack line, asking, “Why didn’t you do it 2 years ago?”
COOPER: In 2022/2023 there were RECORD border crossings. The numbers kept going up.

KAMALA: We have cut the flow of immigration.
COOPER: Why didn't you do it 2 years ago?
KAMALA: We were trying to get mass amnesty passed. pic.twitter.com/uSSpZhKsoM
He repeated the line at another point, asking Harris, “You’ve been in the White House for four years. Why haven’t you done any of this already?”
CNN: You've been in the White House for four years. Why haven't you done any of this already?

KAMALA: "I'm pointing out things that need to be done that haven't been done that need to be done."

She also could not defend a key economic proposal on taxing the rich and refused to specify an income level at which “rich” Americans would face tax increases.
Cooper: "Anybody above $400K will have their taxes raised?"

Kamala: "It's a complicated situation."
That means everyone's taxes are going up. pic.twitter.com/yg7mOzWi1a
At another point, Kamala had tremendous difficulty formulating a response to Cooper’s question whether she had a mistake she learned from.

Cooper: Is there [a mistake] you can point to in your life that you have learned from?

The event went so bad, a CNN panel later roasted Kamala afterwards, with former Barack Obama chief strategist David Axelrod pointing out, “The thing that would concern me is when she doesn’t want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go to Word Salad City.”

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings also blasted Kamala as a terrible “true double threat” candidate, saying, “She’s terrible on her feet when she gets unexpected questions, and simultaneously, she can’t even answer the unexpected questions.”
“If she were an animal, she’d be a duck-billed platitude,” Jennings said.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper pointed out Harris focused more on bashing Trump than outlining her policies.

Even CNN host Dana Bash expressed doubt Kamala “closed the deal” on securing independent voters.
Kamala Harris has lost Dana Bash.

Overall, the fake news network surprised everyone by giving Kamala one of the most combative, hostile interviews she’s faced yet, with many left wondering if CNN is trying to destroy her campaign and help Trump win.
