Fox News anchor Bret Baier is still responding to criticism he received for last week’s interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Baier responded to the statistics that he interrupted the Democratic candidate at leas 38 times in 27 minutes, while he did the same to Republican nominee Donald Trump 28 times in 36 minutes last year.
“I get the criticism,” Baier said. “I get the wondering whether that was different. But if you look back on that one-on-one with former President Trump, he didn’t like it at the time.”
He added that, in spite of the heavy backlash he has received since the interview, which saw an audience of more than 7 million viewers last week, he’d relish the opportunity to sit down with both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump another time to provide more clarity for potential voters and Fox News viewers.
“I’d love to try again,” Baier said. “The more candidates face tough but fair questions, the better it is for viewers and voters, and actually the better it is for candidates.”
