It was not a good interview for Kamala Harris — and according to Bret Baier, the Harris campaign likely suspected it was destined to go south…

According to Fox News anchor Bret Baier, the Harris campaign employed delay tactics before the interview, giving him a drastically truncated timeframe in which to interview Kamala Harris.

Baier compared the Harris campaign’s tactics to a football team “icing the kicker” before an important field goal attempt.

“So, we were supposed to start at 5 p.m. — this was the time they gave us, originally. We’re going to do 25 or 30 minutes,” the host explained to his fellow Fox News anchors Wednesday night.

“They came in and said, ‘Well, maybe 20 [minutes].’ So, it was already getting whittled down,” Baier added.

“And then the vice president showed up at about 5:15 [p.m.].”

“We were pushing the envelope,” Baier added.

“So, that’s how it started. And I could tell when we started talking that she was going to be tough, to, you know, redirect without me trying to interrupt,” he continued, referring to the Democratic nominee’s efforts to “filibuster” during the interview and not allow him to get a word in edgewise.

Baier also explained that Harris’ handlers were signaling for him to wrap it up after a short period of time; “I’m talking, like, four people waving their hands like it’s got to stop,” he said. “I had to dismount there at the end.”
