MAGA Swarms Baier After Harris Interview Announced
They have demands.
Donald Trump's online MAGA brigade has swarmed all over Fox's Bret Baier today like he was a Capitol Police Officer on J6 after he posted on Twitter that he will be interviewing Kamala Harris this Wednesday.
The surprise announcement has already been viewed with angst from Harris supporters, who see big risk with little reward, and venom from Trump supporters. Baier received 2,200 comments on his tweet announcing the interview in just the first hour after he posted it.
Most of the MAGA comments to Baier follow a consistent theme - that they lost all faith in Baier after his tough interview embarrassed Trump last year, and that they expect him to go into this interview with guns blazing to win back their favor. They also mentioned some of the previous Harris interview conspiracies - that her earrings were airpods where she was getting the answers, that she was given the questions ahead of time, that Baier and Fox called the 2020 election too early for Biden, etc.
Baier is widely considered the best substantive interviewer at Fox by far, which is why he is usually tapped to moderate their debates and Town Halls. His interview of Trump in June of 2023 was a masterclass in how to interview someone who lies, rambles, and doesn't like to get pinned down on specifics. It was easily Trump's worst interview of the campaign - so much so that he trashed Baier afterwards as being "nasty" to him during the interview.
Trump went on Fox's competitor Newsmax after that interview to rant about how unfair Fox and Baier were to him:
“Then you have a hostile network like Fox. When I did the interview with Bret, I thought it was fine. I thought it was okay, but there was nothing friendly about it. You know, it was nasty. And I thought I did a good job; I’ve been given credit for doing a good job.”
Baier made it up to Trump this past January, when he fawned all over him and conducted an absolute joke of a Town Hall with no tough questions, lobbing one softball after another in his love fest. Do not expect Harris to get this Bret Baier.
We will certainly hear from Trump in advance of this interview, as he is sure to start a pressure campaign on Baier to go after Harris. His supporters have already started doing that for him. Here is a representative sample of the replies to Baier's post

How funny of MAGAtards to demand he push back when he suspects lies, hammer her on her record and to go after her when he hears word salad. Thiee are all characteristics of DonOLD Trumsterfire, not her. And to insist on journalistic integrity? When have you heard of MAGAtards demand that?
This is the same crew that is stopping recovery efforts by FEMA workers by sending armed militia thugs after them. These people are effing insane with maga fever.
