Earlier today we told you about a Philadelphia ABC affiliate’s taped interview with Kamala Harris. It was Harris’ first solo interview since becoming the Democrat nominee and everybody got a chance to see why her campaign had been holding out as long as possible. 

At the end of this story there’s a video of the full Q & A session, but as Grabien News’ Tom Elliott noticed, the interview viewers in Pennsylvania saw was just a little shorter thanks to some handy editing. Here’s one such example:

Maybe someone has already mentioned this, but the rambling answer Kamala Harris gave last night on inflation is not what @6abc actually aired. Instead they edited her response so that it went straight to her “policies.” Compare/contrast the two clips below pic.twitter.com/WYAytYmx9i

The interview people watching in Philadelphia saw was cringe enough, but it could have been even cringier. 

In WPVI’s defense, cleaning up her answer so that it goes straight to her supposed solutions for inflation — i.e., cutting $25,000 checks for anyone who wants to buy a home — doesn’t exactly do her any favors, either. https://t.co/5v65FcUZ4E

Just for the sake of clarity, the 1st clip came from the @TrumpWarRoom account, which I believe sourced it from WPVI’s website. The 2nd clip came from WPVI’s 6 PM broadcast, which my news-clipping service recorded live. WPVI aired portions of the interview from 4 PM – midnight…

The Harris campaign is just hoping all the “joy” that wasn’t edited out came across loud and clear. 

They cut out a minute and a half of word salad from Kamala and then clipped in a completely different part of the interview.

Astonishing. https://t.co/6p5lgbXNK2

Harris is so lucky to have that protective “D” after her name.

I’M SORRY, WHAT?!

Local news stations don’t think Kamala Harris talking about her neighbors liking their lawns is important to an explanation of lowering prices?

This is wild. https://t.co/E1gfebPrn4

Disgraceful.

ABC is deceiving their audience. https://t.co/DAlT0YyPYx

Press working overtime to make her palatable, how are they not embarrassed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Editing aside, her “policies” sound like something you’d hear from a pageant contestant.

Except perhaps not quite as comprehensive or believable.

The media has to save her from softball questions.

Imagine how Harris would do if she ever faced a tough interviewer (not that her campaign would ever allow that without getting full say over the editing process).
