CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings said on Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to bring her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), to her first sit-down interview was yet another demonstration of her weakness as a candidate.
Jennings joined a panel discussion on the topic hosted by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who asked whether — after nearly 40 days had passed without a single interview or press conference since Harris became the Democratic Party’s de facto 2024 nominee — critics would point out the fact that she was still refusing to sit for an interview on her own.

Weak sauce for Kamala Harris to demand an emotional support animal for her first interview. Shows an extreme lack of confidence for Thursday night event on @cnn pic.twitter.com/ZrjGF2nNLz

“Is the line now going to be, well, why isn’t she doing it by herself?” Cooper asked.
“Yeah, I do think people are going to bring that up,” Jennings replied, saying that while he had “great confidence” in both the network and anchor Dana Bash, he agreed it was not a great look for Harris to bring Walz along.
“I think it’s incredibly weak — weak sauce — to show up with your running mate. The fact that they don’t have enough confidence in her to let her sit, herself, the actual top of the ticket, and do a single interview …” Jennings continued.
“I think the hand-wringing and gyrations over this over the last month show a troubling lack of confidence in her political ability. Which also makes you wonder as a voter, well, what kind of president would you be if this kind of a small-time decision — can we do an interview or not? — what does that look like for your decision-making process?”
“So yes, I think Republicans are going to think it’s pretty weak to show up with, effectively, someone to take up half the time,” Jennings concluded, referring to Walz in an X post as Harris’ “emotional support animal” for the interview.
It’s worse than that. Isn’t the “strong woman” narrative: “I don’t need no man”??? She couldn’t do this alone, so she brought a man to help her through It. Is she going to do that while dealing with Putin? She needs a man in the room to help push her negotiations???
If the reporters do not ask her the right questions, then any interview is worthless. She sat down with her support dog Walz for a TAPED interview. Some say that they will not stop and edited the interview and if they did, it would be bad for them and Harris. Well, they will do that so she does look smart and can speak. The Communist Dems are cheating yet again. Keep her hidden and do not let her talk. They did the same thing with Biden. SO WHY is she ghosting Trump now. Whatever Trump says now, she is for. She needs to be pressed to why she has changed her mind. Why does she support these things now when she was so against them. To think this imbecile would win our country will be lost forever. I see a civil war.
And a taped and edited interview at that.
A CLOWN SHI_ SHOW!
Is this what People want to Run our Country? I sure hope not, I Pray Not.
She Is to Stupid to answer for her self so she brings her support Animal with to help her,
WHAT A JOKE SHE IS.
OH AND WALZY IS A JOKE ALSO.
