CNN’s Brian Stelter has claimed that Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris will be facing “sharp” questions from the hosts of “The View.”
Harris is due to appear on the left-wing ABC daytime talk show this week.
Stelter recently returned to CNN after being ousted by network bosses two years ago.
As Election Day nears, Stelter spoke about both President Donald Trump and Harris’s media strategies on Monday.
Harris in particular has been criticized for avoiding interviews after she replaced President Joe Biden as the party’s nominee.
However, Harris now appears to be on what CNN referred to as a “media blitz.”
“Well, she’s on ‘60 Minutes’ tonight,” Stelter said.
“That’s the most-watched news magazine in the United States.
“Donald Trump initially agreed to be on ‘60 Minutes,’ then he backed out.
“I feel like he‘s getting off pretty easy.
“Imagine if Harris had agreed to be on ‘60 Minutes’ and then backed out.
“I think she would have been vigorously criticized.
“So, Trump choosing not to do ‘60 Minutes,’ Harris is on there.
“That will certainly be an example of tough questioning of the vice president.”
Stelter went on to note that Harris will be on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday.
He claims he had been assured the co-hosts would have difficult questions for the Democrat candidate.
“I was talking to producers of ‘The View’ last night,” he reported.
“They have some sharp questions for her as well.
“And let’s remember, sometimes it’s these non-traditional formats that actually reveal a lot about candidates.
“Remember when Kamala Harris was sitting down with Oprah Winfrey a couple of weeks ago, and that‘s when Harris said, ‘If somebody breaks into my house, they are getting shot.’
“That was a very revealing soundbite, even though it was a friendly interview for Harris,” he said.
Stelter’s claim that “The View” will have sharp questions for Harris seems to contradict the show’s political record.
The show’s extremely radical co-hosts have been openly anti-Trump and even attack those who fail to pledge to vote for the Democrat nominee.
On Friday, co-host Joy Behar implored Republican voters to put aside their party affiliation and vote for the Democratic Party just once to get rid of Trump.
“Just do it this one time. Do it this one time,” she said.
“Vote for the Democrat to save the country.”
Former Trump staffer and “The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin is set to join disgraced former congresswoman Liz Cheney and other anti-Trump Republicans for an event in Pennsylvania this week.
They are planning to warn GOP voters of the “dangers” of re-electing Trump.
Co-hosts of “The View” have blasted New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for refusing to pledge his support first to Biden and then his successor for the nomination, Harris.
“You cannot throw away your vote!” co-host Sunny Hostin told Christie when Biden was still in the race in mid-July.
After facing continued pushback from co-hosts, Christie eventually responded:
“I’m sorry that I care for what people stand for.
“I apologize. I’m not gonna pre-commit to it!
“Let them perform and earn my vote! People should have their vote earned!”
In September, after Harris became the nominee, Christie stood by his position that he was still undecided.
Behar quickly shouted, “Oh shut up,” and “Stop it,” before booing him.
On Monday, Stelter spoke further about Harris and Trump’s parallel media strategies to court young women and men, respectively.
“That’s why I thought ‘Call Her Daddy’ was really interesting as well,” he said.
“The interview actually revealed a lot about the candidate, and ultimately, that’s what the Harris campaign is trying to do, in the same way that the Trump campaign is going on influencer podcasts, really trying to appeal to young men, doing YouTube shows and things like that.
“Harris is trying to do these non-traditional formats like Stephen Colbert tomorrow night or Howard Stern tomorrow afternoon, but I just I think it‘s notable that sometimes we hear a lot and there are actually a lot of newsworthy comments in these interviews,” he added.
