Speaking on America's growing migration crisis, the Vice President claimed it is a 'longstanding problem' and they must enable 'Congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem'

Vice President Kamala Harris has "finally been revealed" after her "disaster" '60 Minutes' interview with CBS, it has been claimed.

The US Presidential hopeful was in the hot seat as the interview saw Harris struggle to provide clear answers on key issues such as immigration and border security.


CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker pressed Harris on a number of key issues ahead of the US election in November, where Harris claimed that "Ukraine must have a say in the future of Ukraine", and refused to give her verdict on whether officials should have "cracked down sooner" on the country's growing migration crisis.

Speaking to GB News, Deputy Editor at the Spectator Freddy Gray called it "the first interview in which Kamala Harris has been well grilled", noting that she "burnt like a terrible piece of toast".

Gray highlighted Harris's struggle with questions about immigration policies, stating: "Bill Whitaker, without being hostile, asked her very clear, quite difficult questions like, 'why did your administration loosen restrictions on immigration that led to a quadrupling of illegal migration into America?'"

According to Gray, Harris was "at a complete loss" and could only respond with "total word soup bland management speak".

Criticising Harris's media strategy in recent months and her campaign since becoming the nominee Gray noted how her performance in the CBS interview is "exactly why she hasn't been doing enough sit down interviews".

He explained: "The more people see of her, the less they seem to like. She did that Call Her Daddy podcast at the weekend, which is a popular feminist podcast.

"Alternative media is a very important part of the political campaign now - Donald Trump's been doing a lot of alternative podcasts, more on the kind of bro end of the podcast spectrum."

Analysing her performance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, Gray highlighted how Harris was "more comfortable" discussing topics like "what it's like being a woman".

Gray observed: "Harris was more comfortable in the Call Her Daddy situation because they talked about what it's like being a woman.

"And she's more comfortable in that, because that is easier to talk about than having to talk about very difficult issues, like how you're going to solve the Middle East, how you're going to fix immigration, how are you going to fix the economy.

"And on all those subjects, she sounded vapid, bland and incoherent."

Predicting how the interview will fare in Harris' campaign in the last remaining days before the election, Gray told GB News that betting odds are already "spiking in Donald Trump's favour".

Gray revealed: "Late last night, the betting markets spiked in favour of Donald Trump. And I think that was because word got out how bad this interview was.

"I don't think Trump is performing particularly well on the campaign trail, but Kamala Harris is at last being revealed.

"And I think to a lot of people who sort of who believe in proper journalism and asking people difficult questions, I think it's a big relief."
