Fox News cuts off Kamala Harris’ first campaign speech after she comes for Donald Trump



Fox News declined to air Vice President Kamala Harris's first presidential campaign speech in its entirety, pulling the plug soon after she attacked Republican nominee Donald Trump.

During an event in Wisconsin, Harris said she would challenge Trump's record "any day of the week."

"So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump's type," she asserted. "As Attorney General of California, I took on one of our country's largest for-profit colleges that was scamming students. Donald Trump ran a for-profit college that scammed students."

"As a prosecutor, I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse," she pointed out. "Well, Trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse."

Harris said that the presidential race was "about two different visions for our nation."

"One where we are focused on the future," she said. "The other focused on the past."

But only minutes after the speech began, Fox News cut back to its anchors in the studio while other networks, including CNN, MSNBC and Newsmax, ran it in its entirety.

"All right, she said she'll put her record up against Donald Trump's record any day," Fox News host Sandra Smith told co-host John Roberts. "Very little mention, John, of her accomplishments while vice president, while in the White House."

"Yeah, critics would say if she was to base a speech on her accomplishments in the White House, it would be a very short speech," Roberts opined. "But now we know at least what her major line of attack is going to be."

"So she's going to, it's going to be the prosecutor versus the convicted felon thing," he added, rolling his eyes.

‘By hell, she’s impressive’: Kamala Harris gets thumbs up for energetic Wisconsin speech



Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a speech before an enthusiastic crowd in Milwaukee on Tuesday that earned plaudits from many progressive political observers — as well as relief about the contrast she delivers between herself and both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Harris, who was endorsed by Biden on Sunday after he announced that he would be dropping out of the 2024 race, delivered a fiery address that touched on themes ranging from voting rights to reproductive freedoms to gun safety.

Writing on Twitter, many progressives took immediate note of the jolt of energy she had injected into the campaign.

"Elections are about all kinds of things, but I think a happy person talking about the future fits the moment better than an angry old man yelling about the past," argued Slate columnist Zachary Carter.

Watching Kamala Harris speaking in Wisconsin... By hell she’s impressive," wrote British broadcaster and media personality Carol Vorderman. "And she’s going to win … she’s energizing the young voters and has no fear of the fight."

NYU Law professor Chris Sprigman, meanwhile, praised Harris for delivering "a smiling, warm, positive affect, combined with coherent, declarative sentences in plain English."

"The election is going to be hard-fought," he added. "But God what a relief."

"So glad Harris is going with a future-focused message against Trump," commented Pod Save America host Tommy Vietor. "That's been missing to date imo. This is a Janet Jackson election: what have you done for me lately?"

Political reporters who watched the event also took notice of the new energy delivered by Harris.

"Hard to overstate how hyped the crowd is," wrote Politico Playbook's Eugene Daniels. "Very different vibe than usual."

"The contrast between Harris's speech and the speeches we've been hearing Biden give all year was striking," wrote New York Times reporter Peter Baker. "At none of the Biden speeches I've covered lately was the case made against the other side this sharply defined and delivered nor has there been this kind of energy."
