Mark Halperin Leaves Harris Supporter Stammering To Defend Why VP Shouldn’t Be Asked About ‘Biden’s Cognitive State’

Journalist Mark Halperin clashed with Vice President Kamala Harris supporter David over whether it was fair to question her about President Joe Biden’s mental acuity.

Harris appeared on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier” for her first formal interview on the network, where host Bret Baier pressed her about her insights into Biden’s cognitive capabilities. David, on Halperin’s 2WAY platform, argued Baier’s question was one of several examples of a “gotcha moment” in the interview, but Halperin disagreed.

“The next gotcha moment was him talking about Biden’s cognitive state,” David said. “Look, we all know she had her own private opinions. The chances of her talking about her own private opinions of where he was at — that’s minimal. That’s another gotcha moment.”

David began to cite another example, but Halperin cut him off.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, on that one I just got to say, there’s this question of accountability and honesty and about the American people’s trust in her judgment,” Halperin said. “I don’t think it’s a gotcha moment, a gotcha question, to just ask her to explain what she knew, when she knew it and how she felt about it.”
