MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle has earned the first one-on-one interview with Vice President Kamala Harris since taking over the Democratic nomination for president. 710 WOR host Mark Simone believes something smells fishy about the arrangement.
Harris will sit down with Ruhle in Pittsburgh for an interview that will air tonight at 7 PM ET. The interview was announced days after Ruhle vehemently defended the campaign strategy of the Democratic nominee while appearing on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher.
It didn’t take long for Simone to connect those dots, and called out both the network and Ruhle, in addition to the Harris campaign, for the decision to sit down for an interview now.
“‘It’s okay to be vague, and she should be vague,'” Simone said, mocking Ruhle’s defense of the Harris campaign. “This is the person they’ve chosen to do the interview tonight. This should be one big mess.
“It’s a special two-hour edition. I assume that it’s not a two-hour interview, so I assume that’s going to be a one-hour interview. But this is Stephanie Ruhle, who is totally corrupt in this situation. She’s a massive Trump hater, a massive Kamala supporter, and she’s on record, on the air, yelling and screaming that there’s no reason to be specific. That Kamala should remain vague. So she’ll do the interview tonight. So I’m sure, we’ll have a lot to talk about tomorrow.”
MSNBC is hosting a special two-hour block of All In with Chris Hayes on Wednesday evening, with Ruhle — who hosts the late-night program for the network at 11 PM ET — featuring her interview in the primetime window.
