CHRIS HAYES (HOST): Tonight, that Bret Baier came at Kamala Harris with every attack in the Trump playbook, including one moment where he got caught using an edited sound bite of Trump.
...
Baier just used a sound bite to try to clear Donald Trump of saying a thing in which he cut out the part where he says it. Watch.
...
You see what they did there, on their own network? Like, we also -- we have recording equipment here at 30 Rock, like other places where you can just grab that. So he said, he repeated, "They are the enemy within, they're sick people, they're evil." He repeated it. And then Bret Baier was like "Let me play you what he said today." You just cut out the big chunk.
Now, in front of that crowd of Republican women, Fox host Harris Faulkner gave Trump the opportunity to climb down from his fascist rhetoric, that's why he was being asked that. Guess what? Trump wouldn't take it, he never takes it because he actually believes and wants to do what he says he wants to do.
Then, Bret Baier tried again to clean it up for Trump with a selectively edited clip. It is the same playbook we see over and over from Fox. Kamala Harris called them out. She wasn't about to let Fox get away with it.
