Bret Baier Says He ‘Made a Mistake’ During His Interview with Kamala Harris

Fox News anchor Bret Baier said a mistake was made during his Wednesday interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I did make a mistake, and I want to say I did make a mistake,” Baier said in a video clip posted to X.

“When I called for a soundbite, I was expecting a piece of the ‘enemy from within’ from Maria Bartiromo’s interview, to be tied to the piece from your town hall, Harris, where you ask the former president about the enemy from within. It just had the piece about the town hall,” he said.

Baier then showed the two clips.

In the one that aired, former President Donald Trump spoke about the dangers of what he called “the enemy from within.”

In the one that did not, Trump said the comment was not intended to be a threat, derided investigations into him and followed up with a joke.

“My point was that we asked him about the question about that sentence and what he was trying to mean,” Baier said later.

As noted by ABC, Baier made no comment during the interview that only part of what he wanted to show had aired.

Harris seized upon the clip to make a point about Trump, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“Bret, I’m sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the enemy within, that he has repeated when he’s speaking about the American people. That’s not what you just showed,” Harris said.

“You didn’t show that and here’s the bottom line. He has repeated it many times and you and I both know that. And you and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him,” Harris said.

The explanation did little to silence Baier’s critics.

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson questioned the explanation in a post on X.

“Now Bret Baier says ‘his mistake’ he ran wrong Trump ‘enemy from within’ clip during interview w/ Harris. Newsflash: When wrong clips run (which happens) hosts can easily say ‘Sorry that was the wrong clip’. He or his producers would have known it was the wrong one right then.”
