Former Congressman George Santos had blunt advice for Vice President Kamala Harris on whether or not she should conduct any more sit down media interviews between now and Election Day.
Don’t.
Santos sure did in this edition of the South Shore Press newscast. His conversation is here with South Shore Press News Director Stefan Mychajliw:
South Shore Press: “Right off the bat, let’s get your reaction in totality of the entire interview with Kamala Harris.”
George Santos: “Now the American people understand why all of her interviews have been pre-rehearsed with agreements to edit answers post interview. Nothing has been done live. Every time she does these interviews, she bombs. I'm a Trump supporter.
It could have been a lot worse from the pool of interviewers at Fox, had she sat in front of Shannon Bream and Martha MacCallum or even Sean Hannity or Lauren Ingram, she would have been decimated. She bombed. She bombed Brett Baer, who is probably one of the most even-keeled people on Fox News. She just couldn't do it.
SSP: “But why did she even do it in the first place? If I'm consulting the Harris campaign, I would have said, ‘Don't do it. You're never hurt by anything you do not say’. And the risk far outweighed the reward.”
GS: “You hit a point when you're tanking and you're underwater, you just throw anything to see what sticks. Kamala Harris is underwater. Her internals show it. National polls show it. Trump's momentum is just growing bigger and bigger. And that honeymoon period is over. The sugar high is now crashing. It's like getting an ADHD child who is naturally hyper and high and giving him loads of candy on Halloween night.
There was that massive sugar high when the Democrat Party essentially threw away the electorate of Joe Biden without putting anyone through the process of an election and just crowned and anointed Kamala Harris.
She's underwater, so she's just throwing anything. It's like that old saying, throw the pasta to the wall. If it sticks, it's ready. She's just throwing raw pasta at the wall at this point and praying it sticks.”
SSP: “ It's bouncing right back. You faced a ton of microphones over your career, whether it was softball questions, tough questions, you name it, you've seen the gauntlet. So moving forward, then, if Kamala Harris says, Hey, George, should I do another interview ever again? What would you say to her?”
GS: “Absolutely not. Go and hide and just stay away from the cameras. Every time you go in the cameras, you lose half a percent point. But you know what? I want her to lose, I'll tell her ‘do what you're doing.’ Keep on keeping on. You're doing great’.
Kamala Harris has had only softballs thrown at her. She should stay away from interviews. Now I understand why her and Governor Walz. have absolutely avoided press and live interviews, it's because they just can't do them. They're incapable of doing them.
