Vice President Harris’s performance at the ABC News debate against former President Trump was criticized by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), who claimed that she acted like a “spoiled teenager.”
Gingrich, in a Fox News op-ed published on Saturday, repeatedly criticized the debate moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, as political “elites” and contended that Harris “failed to achieve her objectives…”
“Harris further hurt herself by spending a large part of her listening time making faces and looking cute. It was the behavior of a spoiled teenager, not a commander-in-chief.” Gingrich wrote in a new op-ed.
“The elites value style over substance. They would like everyone to behave as though they were at a Washington cocktail party. Most Americans are not so highfalutin. Most Americans do not appreciate well-dressed, clever people treating them as if they are ignorant and incapable of realizing when they are being manipulated and lied to.” he continued.
“The fact is, authenticity beats wearing a mask. Being yourself beats trying to be the person your consultants have trained you to be. This has always been true in American politics.” he concluded.
In the immediate aftermath of the debate, in which Harris engaged in a series of heated exchanges with the former president regarding a variety of topics, a CNN instant poll revealed that 63 percent of registered voters believed the Democratic nominee emerged victorious on Tuesday night.
