Harris Did 'Exactly What She Needed To Do' At Debate | Morning Joe | MSNBC

>> DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT. >> I HE WAS DIALED IN. >> THE FLY WAS DIALED IN. SO MIKA, FIRST OF ALL, WHAT WAS YOUR TAKE ON THE DEBATE? >> I THOUGHT KAMALA HARRIS WAS FABULOUS AND SHE WAS DISCIPLINED. SHE WAS STRONG. SHE KEPT A FINE BALANCE IN TERMS OF TONE WHICH, YOU KNOW, WOULD BE A CHALLENGE FOR ANY WOMAN DEBUTING ON THE NATIONAL STAGE LIKE THAT AS A VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. SHE WAS REALITY VERSUS WHATEVER WAS HAPPENING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STAGE AND SHE USED EVERY SKILL IN HER TOOL BOX TO DELIVER A CLEAR, ALMOST, YOU KNOW, NEAR PERFECT PERFORMANCE. SHE WAS RIGHT ON, SPOT ON. THAT MOMENT WHEN SHE TALKED ABOUT THE AUTO INDUSTRY -- WOW. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. SHE DIDN’T OVERDO IT OR UNDERDO IT. IT WAS HARD TO WATCH MIKE PENCE. JUST REALLY PAINFUL, TOUGH. I THINK KAMALA HARRIS COULD HAVE BEEN TOUGHER ON THE OUTBREAK WITHIN THE WHITE HOUSE ITSELF AND THE PRESIDENT’S CONDITION AND THEIR LACK OF A TRANSPARENCY. SHE DID GO THERE A LITTLE BIT. WE’LL HAVE A LOT MORE INFORMATION COMING UP AGO THAT INCLUDING MORE CASES THAT HADN’T BEEN DISCLOSED. THE WHITE HOUSE STILL NOT DISCLOSING WHEN THE PRESIDENT FIRST TESTED POSITIVE AND JUST MORE INCIDENTS WITHIN THE SPHERE OF THE WHITE HOUSE OF PEOPLE NOT BEING HONEST ABOUT A DEADLY VIRUS THAT HAS NOW PERVADED THE INNER CIRCLE OF THE WHITE HOUSE. >> WILLIE, IT’S INTERESTING AND MAYBE BECAUSE WE DEFINE DEVIANCY DOWN SO MUCH WITH DONALD TRUMP. THERE WAS I WILL SAY SOMETHING MADDENING ABOUT MIKE PENCE GOING UP AND RUNNING COVER FOR INDEFENSIBLE ACTIONS WHETHER YOU TALK ABOUT THE CAGING OF CHILDREN ON THE BORDER, WHETHER YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THE KILLING OF 210,000 AMERICANS FROM COVID. HOW MANY OF THOSE WERE MIKE PENCE AND DONALD TRUMP AND JARED KUSHNER RESPONSIBLE FOR? HISTORIANS WILL ULTIMATELY SORT THROUGH ALL OF THAT. HE I THINK SCORED SOME POINTS ON THE ECONOMY. BUT OF COURSE, THE ECONOMY IS TRASHED NOW. BUT HE TRIED TO DEFEND THE INDEFENSIBLE. HAD A LOT OF CHEAP, REALLY CORNY SIXTH GRADE -- >> HORRIBLE. >> -- TRICKS WHEN KAMALA HARRIS WAS TRYING TO TALK ABOUT HOW DONALD TRUMP LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WHEN HE DID SUCH A TERRIBLE JOB THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE COVID CRISIS. WHICH A MAJORITY OF THE AMERICANS AGREE WITH. MIKE PENCE -- I WILL NOT STAND HERE -- AND WILL NOT LET YOU TALK BADLY ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. SHE WASN’T TALKING BADLY ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, MR. VICE PRESIDENT, BUT TALKING ABOUT HOW YOUR NEGLIGENCE KILLED A LOT OF AMERICANS. DONALD TRUMP’S NEGLIGENCE AND JARED KUSHNER’S NEGLIGENCE KILLED A LOT OF AMERICANS. SENATORS WHO SAT BY AND WATCHED KILLED A LOT OF AMERICANS. WE’LL LET HISTORIANS MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. I DO, WILLIE, WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON SOMETHING THAT MIKA SAID. I WAS SURPRISED THAT KAMALA HARRIS DID NOT -- DID NOT TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. >> YEAH. >> WHAT’S HAPPENED OVER THE PAST WEEK. THE OUTBREAK AT THE WHITE HOUSE. THESE PEOPLE SAY THEY CAN CONTROL AN OUTBREAK IN AMERICA WHEN THEY CAN’T CONTROL A WHITE HOUSE OUTBREAK? WE HAVE 34 PEOPLE, NEWS BROKE BEFORE THE DEBATE THAT NOW 34 PEOPLE ARE INFECTED AND CONNECTED TO THE WHITE HOUSE THAT MEANS MORE INFECTIONS CONNECTED TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND CONNECTED THAN IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF NEW ZEALAND AND VIETNAM, OTHER COUNTRIES. ALSO, THE PRESIDENT’S RECKLESSNESS AND IRRESPONSIBILITY. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THIS DEBATE WAS HELD A WEEK AGO. >> YEAH. >> AND I THINK THAT WAS THE ONE MISSED OPPORTUNITY. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE ENTIRE DEBATE, SHE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. AND I THINK -- LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY, SHE DID EXACTLY WHAT THIS WAY, SHE DID EXACTLY WHAT SHE NEEDED TO DO WITH HER TICKET COMFORTABLY AHEAD IN MANY SWING STATES, KAMALA HARRIS DID EXACTLY WHAT SHE NEEDED TO DO LAST NIGHT AND MIKE PENCE WAS OF COURSE IN A DIFFICULT POSITION BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE TO DEFEND A WHITE HOUSE WITH 20,000 LIES -- >> AND WITH A FLY ON YOUR HEAD. >> WITH A FLY ON YOUR HEAD IT’S TOUGHER FOR YOU. >> KAMALA HARRIS HELD SERVE. THAT’S GOOD NEWS FOR THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN, NOT GOOD NEWS FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WHICH IS TRAILING IN THIS RACE. BUT MIKE PENCE DID AS YOU SAID, JOE, EXACTLY WHAT HE SIGNED UP TO DO FIVE YEARS AGO AND TO GO TO DO FIVE YEARS AGO AND TO GO OUT AND WITH THAT SORT OF POOR MAN’S REAGAN’S FACADE TO DEFEND THE INDEFENSIBLE. THE EXPLANATION FOR THE ROSE GARDEN EVENT, WELL, WE TRUST PEOPLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. EVERYONE WAS TESTED UNLIKE THE BIDEN/HARRIS CAMPAIGN THAT BELIEVES THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD STEP IN. HE CONCEDED THEY’RE HANDS OFF THROUGHOUT THIS AND HIS DEFENSE FROM THERE WAS WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS, JOE BIDEN? IN 2009 WITH THE H1N1. IT’S AN ARGUMENT THAT TRUMP HAS
