Well, wonders will never cease—Kamala Harris actually sat for a formal interview. Of course, it wasn’t live, it was taped, and it was conducted by a friendly face in CNN’s Dana Bash. Meanwhile, the VP needed the comfort blanket of her running mate and Emotional Support Governor, Minnesota's Tim Walz, just to get through it.
Many subjects were discussed, and to be fair, Bash actually asked her some pointed questions on her frequent flip-flopping, but the internet had a field day with something simpler: the staging. Namely, Kamala appeared to get the child’s seat, while Walz looked like he was Hagrid sitting next to her.
Ok @RoxanneHoge first pointed this out to me @jenvanlaar...

Harris looks absolutely dwarfed by Walz in this setup. Who allowed this to happen?
Amateurs.https://t.co/TIiFnWc6FL
My better half pointed out that it looked like they ran out of adult chairs:
Know how you go to back to school night and the teacher doesn't have enough adult-sized chairs so Mom takes the kinder chair?

That's what happened here. https://t.co/mdzvADlkHj
Often, producers will supply cushions for height-challenged guests so they don’t look tiny compared to the other people on camera. This would have been the obvious move in this case, especially as Harris is trying to portray gravity and strength and the capacity to excel in the most powerful job in the world.
When a short actor is playing an action star, they’ll sometimes put him up on an apple box or choose flattering angles. It’s not that complicated.
Who’s the campaign manager that thought the dirty dishes in the background,Kamala looking like a little girl and blending into the background and Tim Walz in the power seat was a good look for a first Presidental candidate interview? Someone hates Kamala. pic.twitter.com/3PrGqx9owu

Meanwhile, her answers were small as well:
Kamala Harris kicked off her first interview with yet another word salad.

CNN's DANA BASH: "What would you do on Day 1 in the White House?"
HARRIS: *rambles without answering the question*
BASH: "So what would you do Day 1?" pic.twitter.com/tSaskWxo7s
RedState will have much more on this interview coming up, but the early reviews are not good.
Pardon the interruption, but I’m watching Harris give her interview.

Can someone get me an iced tea to go with the word salad she’s serving?
