Symone Sanders Townsend, Vice President Kamala Harris’s former top aide, blasted the “tone” of the interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier.

She specifically remarked on how she felt he wasn’t himself and accused him of being “rude” and “misleading” in his questioning of her former boss.

“Honestly floored by Bret’s tone. Glad she did it though,” she posted on X.

“But on the tone, I have sat in the room for a number of interviews with VP Harris and they have been tough. I’ve never witnessed what I witnessed tonight though. The interviewer wasn’t themselves – instead, he was rude, misleading and pulled questions straight out of a proverbial Trump/Vance press release,” she added in a follow-up post. “The best part is, VP’s response was simply to match his energy, stick to her why of the interview, and not take the bait. <— this is what a President would do.”

While Sanders Townsend praised Harris for her poise and matching Baier’s “energy,” it was also reported that her handlers were desperate to end the interview early. As BizPac Review previously reported, Baier revealed that “like four people” were “waving their hands like it’s gotta stop” by the end of the interview.

“Dana, you’ve been on the other side, you’ve been the wrapper as a press secretary interviewing a president,” Baier told Fox News colleague Dana Perino following the sit-down with Harris. “And you know I’m talking like four people waving their hands like it’s gotta stop… I had to dismount there at the end.”

It was also noted that the interview ended up beginning late, which shortened the amount of time Baier had to question the vice president.

“We were going to do 25 or 30 minutes. They came in and said, ‘Well, maybe 20,’ so it was already getting whittled down,” Baier said. “Then the vice president showed up about 5:15. We were pushing the envelope to be able to turn it around for the top of the 6 o’clock. So that’s how it started…”
