Baier: I did make a mistake

Hack.




Bret Baier: "I did make a mistake" during the Kamala Harris interview. "When I called for a soundbite, I was expecting a piece of the ‘enemy from within’ from Maria Bartiromo's interview to be tied to the piece from your town hall, Harris."

He could easily have said, at the time, that it was the wrong clip. But, he chose instead to talk over Harris, argue with her, and try to put her down for calling out the BS clip.

His newfound "admission" that it was a mistake is a lame attempt to defend himself over against the pushback that he has received.

At 19:07 Baier says, "We asked that question to the former president today Harris Faulkner had a town hall (regarding the enemy within remarks) and here is how he responded"

So he claimed he was expecting a clip from Maria Bartiromo but when introducing the clip he says it is from Harris Faulkner's town hall???

He's a liar and after he's caught with his pants down he blames someone else.

Burning his own production team as he tries to weasel out of the edited ambush that he wanted to convey to the 7MM+ watching. You are quite the journalist and a seeker of truth, Brett.

Now Bret Baier says “his mistake” he ran wrong Trump “enemy from within” clip during interview w/ Harris. Newsflash: When wrong clips run (which happens) hosts can easily say “Sorry that was the wrong clip”. He or his producers would have known it was the wrong one right then.

He could have interrupted the clip and he didn't do it. It was planned. Could have quickly corrected the record that it was an error as soon as it was broadcast,. He did not. Or even made a statement after Madame VP stated her objections....didn't do that either.

He got caught greasing the baseball, but no matter....Kamala hit it out of the park.

... he did not mention the "mistake" at all. He should have immediately told the VP she was correct and FOX erred. It happens occasionally... the host says they either failed to show a clip, or showed the wrong clip. Baier was out to "get" Harris, not interview her. He failed.
