Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for her first solo interview with MSNBC, during which she talked about her economic plan, or at least she tried to do so.
While she rehashed her vague dreams for the American people, she dodged important questions regarding taxes and price controls. When MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle asked Harris where she plans to borrow money from if she can’t raise corporate taxes and Republicans take the Senate, Harris responded, “But we’re gonna have to raise corporate taxes.”
Ruhle likewise challenged her on price gouging. She asked Harris how she would implement price controls on big corporations without alarming free market supporters.
The vice president replied that she would “never apologize” for going after the few, powerful corporations that, in her view, exploit Americans.
While Ruhle challenged Harris during the interview, the liberal host took her side by telling TV host Bill Maher that Trump is still a “threat to democracy.”
