The contentious high-drama interview between Fox News anchor Bret Baier and Vice President Kamala Harris drew strong reactions online.

Baier tried to press Harris on a number of key issues but the vice president protested that he needed to let her finish her answers to the questions.

Meanwhile she tore into Donald Trump for being totally ‘unfit to serve’ as president for a second term because he’s ‘dangerous.’

It was a contentious 30 minutes as the current VP worked to distance herself from Biden, saying her presidency would not ‘be a continuation’ while defending the administration’s policies. 

The first testy moment started after a brawl over the Biden-Harris administration immigration policies.  

‘Kamala Harris just ran into a Bret Baier buzzsaw when asked about the number of illegal aliens in the country,’ wrote conservative communicator Steve Guest as the interview aired. 

Baier’s interview style drew praise from former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly. 

‘Bret is crushing this and she is incapable of defending her deadly border policies,’ she wrote. 

Meanwhile, supporters of Harris accused Fox News of conducting an ‘ambush’ interview and argued that she did well. 

‘Kamala Harris (strong) handled an ambush Fox interview light years better than the hash Donald Trump (unstable) made of the Fox pep rally disguised as a town hall,’ Harris campaign advisor David Plouffe wrote on X.com. 

Brian Stelter, a media analyst from CNN described the interview as a positive result for Harris.

‘A lot of viewers are going to come away saying, “Wow, she’s willing to do that. That’s a sign of toughness and strength,”‘ Stelter said in a clip shared by the Harris campaign on social media. 

Others who were not big fans of Baier indicated they were impressed by his performance. 

‘I forgive Bret Baier. He’s literally ending Kamala Harris’s campaign before our very eyes!’ wrote Vince Langman, a supporter of Trump.

At another point in the interview, Harris protested that Baier played the wrong clip when he asked her about Trump’s comment about handling the ‘enemy within’ the country.

Others focused on Harris’ body language as she grew incredibly annoyed with Baier’s interruptions.

‘Kamala Harris is wagging her finger and yelling during the Bret Baier interview. Wrote Minnesota Republican Dustin Grage. ‘This is a total disaster for her.’

At one point, Harris reacted after Baier pointed out that over 70 percent of the country believed the country was headed in the wrong direction.

‘You know and I both know what I’m talking about. You know and I both know what I’m talking about!’ she said, pointing back at Trump. 

‘I actually don’t. What are you talking about?’ Baier replied. 

‘TRAIN WRECK,’ Trump’s national press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on social media after the interview. 

Other political strategists disagreed. 

‘Kamala Harris is the opposite of unflappable. She is self imploding & getting visibly angry because for the first time in 4 years she is facing a few tough questions,’ wrote Republican political strategist Andrew Surabian.

‘This is why they kept her in the basement. This is literally insane… I can’t believe how bad this went,’ Republican strategist Ryan James Girdusky, wrote on social media adding, ‘This is Kamala’s first interview like this and it was a disaster.’

Republicans who oppose Trump for president defended Harris.  

‘The View’ co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, a Republican who opposes Trump said Harris did a sufficient job.

‘There will be loyal Fox-News-viewing women who will walk away from Harris’ interview thinking: I don’t agree w/her much, but she’s not dumb like Trump told me, & she’s tough, despite what he’s said,’ she wrote.

‘She went into the lion’s den and took them on and stood tall,’ Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican campaigning for Harris wrote. ‘She did not let them bait her at all – strong, confident, epic. She totally schooled Bret Baier.’

Other Harris supporters blamed Baier for being disrespectful to the vice president.

‘Harris went into the Lion’s Den and got attacked. She pushed back and made her case. However — Brett’s disrespect was palpable,’ wrote former Harris advisor Jamal Simmons.

Baier said on Fox News after the interview that Harris and her team arrived late to the interview and cut it short of what they agreed to. 

‘We were supposed to start at 5:00 p.m. … originally we were going to do 25 or 30 minutes, it came in and said well maybe 20. So, already getting whittled down, then the vice president showed up about 5:15 p.m.’ Baier said.
