Just Answer the Damn Question!

Watching politicians skirt the truth is pretty much the leading pastime of most Americans during this election year, and frankly I am sick to death of it. Earlier this evening a prime example of this genre aired: an interview on FOX News wherein Bret Baier, the closest we've got to a real journalist since Walter Cronkite died, faced Kamala Harris one-on-one. 

Armed with some pithy questions for the would-be Commander-in-Chief, Baier never got an answer to any of them. Instead, Kamala hemmed and hawed, swallowed air and gulped, and obfuscated a whole lot while repeating her litany of tired insults aimed at Donald Trump. 

She could not or would not say how many illegal immigrants have entered the country under her watch. She could not or would not say when she first noticed that Joe Biden was losing it. She could not or would not say if she supports transgender surgery, on the taxpayer's dime, for prisoners. She could not specify how her "new" administration would differ from her last four years as vice-president. Or why 50% of the country prefers the other candidate. Or what she means by, "It's time to turn the page," when she's the very page we've got to turn!

I wished I had been there to say, "Hey lady, answer the damn question!" And try as hard as he could without slapping her in the face, Bret Baier, like so many before him, couldn't get her to do it.
