As RedState reported earlier, the clips from CNN of Vice President Kamala Harris giving her first formal sit-down interview since Joe Biden's forced withdrawal from the presidential race in July are starting to drop - and are raising eyebrows along the way.

In the first one, the Democratic presidential nominee received a predictable softball question from CNN anchor Dana Bash about the dramatic change in her policy positions (read: flip-flops) from when she first ran for president in 2019 to the present day. 

Harris answered, in part, that "I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is, my values have not changed." 

"You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed -- and I have worked on it -- that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time," Harris went on to say.

In the latest clip to be released, Harris is asked yet another softball question by Bash, who points out that she had Republicans speak at the Democratic National Convention. Bash then asks her if she would consider appointing one to a Cabinet position should she get elected president.

Harris said she would, but didn't go so far as to name who it might be:

“No. No one in particular mind. I got a — we got 68 days to go in this election, so I'm not putting the cart before the horse, but I would. I think — I think it's really important. I — I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it's important to have people at the table and when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences and I think — uh — it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my cabinet who was a Republican.”

Some pointed to the word "was" in her answer as potentially important:

I'm sure I'm not the only one who absolutely positively hates these "Will you appoint someone in the opposing party to work in your administration" questions. In the end, the answers mean nothing to most people, because I think most folks understand that even if someone pledges to do that, it will still be someone who mostly thinks along the same ideological lines of the candidate.

Give us some meat, something to chew on here, CNN. Something of real substance and value, and that is meaningful to voters. Because this ain't it.
