Things got a bit awkward when Sarah Ferguson, a TV reporter for Australia’s ABC TV, called ex-Vice President Kamala Harris out for a “world-class pivot” away from a question about former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during a Wednesday interview. “Wasn’t [Biden’s] refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?” Ferguson asked about Harris’s doomed 2024 presidential bid.
Harris took the opportunity to bash President Donald Trump and avoided talking about Biden. “Donald Trump ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe, misrepresenting his intentions to the American people,” Harris said.
She said a “fair amount” of MAGA voters were lied to by Trump on inflation and other issues. Harris then said Trump’s “misrepresentation of intention” and “massive amounts of mis-and-disinformation” contributed to her loss, before Ferguson jumped in to point out she avoided the question. “Forgive me… I want to interrupt you, because that is a world-class pivot,” Ferguson said. “But it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden’s failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you. The question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to criticize the former president?”
Always great to see Democrats pols outside the cushy confines of an MSNBC or CNN or the like, where they know that 9 times out of 10 they'll be peppered with nothing but softball questions that they can answer in their sleep. Props to Sarah Ferguson for doing some real journalism.
