Fox’s Cavuto Clashes with Rep. Clyburn over Kamala Harris: ‘Maybe She Was a Lousy Candidate’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
States. Congressman, good to have you. I just wonder, I’ve asked other democratic leaders who have appeared here what they think went wrong. I’d like to get your thoughts. What went wrong for Democrats?
>> Much for having me. Neil: thank you.
>> Truncated process, no question about that. We had a candidate that was the vice president for four years, in the Senate before that, statewide office holder in California. But still when you’re vice president, you’re there to carry out the agenda of the president. So the the time needed to develop an individual identity was not there. 107 days in our system is just not enough time. Plenty enough time over in England, but not much time here in the United States – neil: do you think she was just a lousy candidate though, congressman? That you would have been better off sticking with Joe Biden?
>> As long as he was in the race, but if he ever changed his mind, I would be all in with Kamala Harris. Because you don’t have enough time does not mean you’re a lousy candidate. She was not a lousy candidate. She was a great candidate, a great resumé. But in some people’s minds, anybody that’s not white and male is lousy. And we know that to be the case in this country – neil: do you really believe that, congressman?
>> Neil: – maybe the the last two women we had were not Americans’ cup of tea. We’ve seen senators as congressman, senators, governors, female leaders of countries all over the world from Maggie thatcher, merkel, maybe the problem is we always hi the woman has to be a Democrat or a liberal. History seems to suggest that we eventually get a female president, it’ll come from the Republican ranks. What do you think?
[Laughter]

>> Then that’s fine. I know you very well, or neil – neil: but, no, I have no axe to grind here. I guess what I’m saying is maybe she was a lousy candidate, her gender had nothing to do with it. She missed opportunities to speak on other shows, she seemed to be overly cautious. Maybe too much so as if she was sitting on a 10-point lead. She wasn’t.
>> It. Mine is different. I’m enough of a man to allow you to have your take. And – your ache the.
