Leaked CNN interview questions reveal astonishing partisan bias

Kamala Harris has finally scheduled an interview, nearly 40 days after President Joe Biden ended his candidacy and endorsed her. CNN's Dana Bash will do the honors, while Harris' running mate Tim Walz will also be there to provide male oversight and moral support. The interview is pre-recorded.

CNN was an obvious choice, given its well-earned reputation for partisan bias. Stephen Colbert, the former comedian who appeared at a Biden fundraiser in March, called CNN “objective” in a recent interview with Bash's colleague Kaitlan Collins. Even the liberal audience thought he was joking.

Bash is best known as the ex-wife of former Obama administration official Jeremy Bash. She moderated the now infamous June 27 debate between Biden and former President Donald Trump that precipitated Biden's withdrawal from the race. Bash was caught trying to help Biden by giving him directions on where to look. She also moderated the Democratic primary debate in 2019 when Harris accused Biden of supporting racist busing policies.

We knew the interview was going to be a partisan lovefest, but we didn't fully realize how ridiculous and obsequious Bash's questions would be until a CNN insider leaked a draft to the Washington Free Beacon. [Spoiler alert: Proceed with caution.]

Vice President Kamala Harris → Thank you for agreeing to do this interview. Are you excited?

Harris → May I ask another question?

Harris → Are you a brat?

Harris → Donald Trump has been president for four years and America has really suffered under his leadership. Inflation is out of control. Do you think Trump deserves another four years in office or is it time for a change?

Coach Tim Walz → You are a big advocate of Midwestern values. What are they?

Harris → Republicans have accused you, without evidence, of having ties to President Joe Biden and his administration. Can you explain why that is unfair?

Harris → Do you even know who that is? [Hold up photo of Joe Biden]

Harris → That's what I thought. You have also been accused of changing your position on important political issues without any evidence. But I would like to move on to another topic. Would you mind?

Harris → Thank you. Let's move on. If you win in November, you would be the first woman (and the first black woman) to be elected president in American history. Do you think that would send a strong message to all little girls (and little black girls) across the country and give them hope for the future?

Rolling → You're a white man, but I think we can all agree that you're a good white man. How inspired are you to be part of this historic campaign?

Harris + Walz → So who is the better dancer?

Harris → I'd like to ask a few questions submitted by CNN viewers. Is that OK?

Harris → Very good. Hillary R. from New York writes: “Can you talk about some of the political trailblazers who inspired you or paved the way to your success?”

Harris → Ella E. from California writes: “Hi mom! Keep up the good work.”

Rolling → Karen H. from Wisconsin writes: “What is your favorite type of football game?”

Harris → On the subject of immigration: Do you believe the United States should be a shining city on a hill that welcomes migrants who are just trying to achieve the American dream, or do you think the U.S. military should launch airstrikes, with nuclear weapons if necessary, to prevent these dreamers from crossing the southern border?

Harris → Sorry, was that too difficult?

Rolling → I didn't really understand the Vice President's answer. Could you try to clarify what she meant?

Rolling → Let's talk about sex on the couch. What's going on with JD Vance?

Harris → What is your stance on healthcare? Do you believe Americans should be treated when they get sick, or should they just die on the streets, as some Republicans have suggested?

Harris → Abortion. Yes?

Rolling → Your wife, Gwen, is a blonde who resembles the nanny your running mate's husband, Doug Emhoff, had an affair with during his first marriage and got her pregnant. Are you worried?

Harris → Same question.

Harris + Walz → Are there any questions you would like to ask me?

Harris + Walz → It was an honor, future president. God bless you, coach. Of course, you are welcome to watch the footage and make suggestions for editing. We are here to help. Vibes!
