Watters pressed Favreauthe convention’s agenda and themes… and Kamala Harris.
Favreau bluntly and confidently said that Harris is a classic mainstream Democrat.
But Watters quickly reminded Favreau that he once said the idea of Harris being a mainstream Democrat was “laughable.”
“Before you said, couple years ago, that it was laughable that people were calling her moderate,” said Watters.
“I said that?” responded Favreau.
“Yeah, I have it right here!” added Watters.
Oops!
Favreau attempted to deflect, saying that Harris is a progressive Democrat.
Kids, be careful what you put in writing. It can come back to haunt you!
