Yamiche Alcindor, a NBC News reporter, received substantial online feedback for her candid assessment of Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent interview comments regarding her policy perspectives.
In her interview to CNN as the Democratic nominee, Harris spoke about her changing stand on several matters, including and particularly about fracking.
On Thursday, CNN’s Dana Bash addressed Harris regarding her frequently shifting policy perspectives, which have drawn notice in the last few weeks as she has distanced herself from the further far-left agenda she advocated in 2019.
When asked by Bash what she said was the most crucial and most important part of my policy perspectives and choices, Harris answered, “My values have not changed.” Alcindor chastised Harris for not offering an explicit answer.
“Harris keeps saying ‘my values never altered’ while failing to clarify why her stance has,” Alcindor responded. Alcindor further questioned Harris’s desire to explain her shifting viewpoints on fracking. Alcindor recommended Harris say that her view has shifted over the years due to her exposure to the presidential daily briefing and the chats she has during her three years traveling with common Americans.
Alcindor’s sharp examination, coming from a journalist previously admitted for her pro-Biden-Harris statements, yielded varied reactions on social media.
The Blaze columnist Auron MacIntyre added, “An interview so catastrophic that the regime press has to admit it.” Co-host of “Habibi Bros,” Siraj Hashmi, remarked, “Um, based Yamiche???”
Former Trump campaign PR head Tim Murtaugh noted, “When you’ve lost Yamiche…” and Washington Free Beacon reporter Joe Gabriel Simonson jokes, “Madame Vice President, Yamiche has fallen.”
Harris came under considerable scrutiny after passing almost 40 days without conducting an interview following her election as the Democratic nominee. She faced invective for declining to speak with the media, particularly through solo discussions, which intensified after the Democratic meeting over the weekend.
She was chastised during the convention for hosting her debut interview with companies and not taking a chance to interview on her own. The debate on the vice president’s press plan continues to be a source of debate as her reelection continues to gather momentum.
