Kamala Harris Exposes Bret Baier’s Falsehoods on ‘The Enemy Within’

Kamala Harris continues to dominate her opponents in the political arena, showcasing her prowess yet again during a recent confrontation with Bret Baier. Baier attempted to promote his “enemy within” conspiracy theory, a notion popularized by Trump, suggesting a potential risk from the American left on Election Day while conveniently ignoring the events of January 6, 2021. However, his efforts were met with a strong rebuttal from Harris.

According to The New York Times, Harris encountered an unexpected debate on October 16—not with Trump, but with Baier, the host of the widely criticized program, Special Report with Bret Baier, which is known for its so-called news “analysis”and occasional guest appearances from prominent figures, including presidential hopefuls.

Throughout the discussion, Baier unleashed a barrage of contentious and conspiratorial remarks directed at Harris, grilling her on sensitive issues such as gender-transition surgeries and the tragic death of a 12-year-old girl in Texas, which he linked to Venezuelan immigrants—a theme often echoed in Trump’s racially charged rhetoric. This kind of discourse is typical for Fox News, notorious for its perpetuation of misleading information and steadfast support for Trump.

The tone of Baier’s interview was marked by flagrant disrespect, as he repeatedly interrupted Harris, denying her the opportunity to respond fully. Nonetheless, it was Harris who emerged victorious in the exchange. As reported by Newsweek, Harris arrived late for the scheduled interview, leaving Baier and his team with little time to prepare, which contributed to the heightened intensity of the debate. Despite Baier’s interruptions, Harris responded assertively when he mischaracterized the Biden administration’s immigration policies by asserting, “I’m not finished, I’m not finished.”

Baier also omitted crucial clips wherein Trump threatened to deploy military action against his detractors, a facet of the dangerous “enemy within” narrative that subsequently faced ruthless criticism on social media. During the discussion, Harris pointed out:

“We both understand that he has spoken about using the American military against the American populace. He has suggested going after individuals participating in peaceful demonstrations and even threatened to imprison those who dissent. This is a democracy, and the President of the United States should be capable of handling criticism without resorting to threats of imprisonment. This is what we must safeguard.”

Given Harris’s recent performance in debates against Trump, along with her consistent takedown of figures like Baier, she seems to be in a strong position for the election—a promising sign for her prospects.
