Somebody give Bill Whitaker a prize. In his 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, which aired last night, the CBS correspondent did what no other journalist has successfully done since the vice president was thrust to the top of the Democratic ticket: journalism. He asked Harris challenging questions about the matters voters care about most. He was civil, unaggressive, but professional enough to push her for clear answers. And Harris just couldn’t cope. Her performance was Prince Andrew-like in its awfulness.

Harris robotically blamed Congress and Donald Trump, “who wants to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem, so he told his buddies in Congress, ‘kill the bill, don’t let it move forward.’”
Whitaker was not deterred. “But there was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration,” he continued. “As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen immigration policies as much you did?”
