CNN launches another blistering attack on Kamala Harris as commentator lets rip over issue that could cost her election

Typically friendly CNN continued to attack Kamala Harris on Friday after her softball interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Earlier this week , the network's anchors criticized Harris for not being specific about her proposals, which they say could lead to a Donald Trump win in November.

On Friday, conservative pundit Scott Jennings came after Harris for sitting down with Winfrey on a live-streamed fundraiser as opposed to less friendly media.

Jennings got straight to the point, asking: 'When has she sat down with any hostile media?'

Winfrey and Harris had a pleasant chat highlighted by the vice president reiterating her status as a gun owner who would shoot someone who broke into her house.

'It's hard to equate an interview with sort of a more hostile and not even hostile – more critical member of the press with someone who has pledged to support the campaign,' responded CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams.

Things got a little tense when Jennings shot back: 'When would that be?'

Elliot appeared to smile and lightly teased, saying: 'You know what the hell I mean Scott'.

'I'm just asking,' Jennings cheekily replied.

Jennings was even more scathing when asked to break down the contents of the chat with Winfrey.

'I watched a good chunk of this thing last night. I mean it was mostly a solid hour of the same sort of vacuous word salad-tossing that we've come to expect out of the vice president', he said.

While he called the gun comments 'helpful' he said the rest was nothing but 'really inane banter' that would be incoherent if read off a transcript.

This comes days after anchor s Dana Bash and Abby Phillip took shots at Harris' campaign.

Bash joked on Wednesday that you could play a drinking game every time VP Harris repeats the same talking points on the economy, often bringing up small businesses and her middle class background.

'When you listen to Kamala Harris on what she will do, you can almost start a drinking game every time she says 'small businesses,' Bash said during a panel discussion.

Meanwhile Phillip said on Tuesday that Harris 'lacked specifics' and does not have quick and 'understandable' answers regarding the economy and other topics.

'Black journalists today at the NABJ [National Black Journalists Association] pressed vice president Kamala Harris on policies from guns to the war in Gaza , but many of her answers lacked specifics,' Phillip said.

The legendary talk show host kicked off the hour-and-a-half long livestream by introducing a who's who of Hollywood A-listers including Bryan Cranston, Chris Rock , Ben Stiller , Jennifer Lopez , Tracy Ellis Ross, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep .

'I am smiling from ear to ear Oprah,' Breaking Bad 's Cranston said. 'I have never felt this much joy and optimism in a campaign in a long time.'

But with Winfrey at the helm of the production, there were some tear-jerking moments too - including introducing the mother of the first woman who died a preventable abortion-related death since the overturn of Roe v. Wade.

Throughout the night, Winfrey tossed to the celebrities.

'Hello President Harris,' said Streep with a giggle. 'From my mouth to God's ear.'

Streep then asked Harris what happens if Trump refuses to concede the election again.

'More Americans than we may realize who voted for Trump before have decided that January 6 was a bridge too far,' Harris said.

She added that the 'other piece' is that 'the lawyers are working.

'It's very important that we speak to our friends and neighbors about misinformation,' she went on, also encouraging supporters to 'stand up for the integrity of poll workers.'

Harris also pleaded: 'Do not be afraid to vote.'

'I think there is also something quite insidious about these attacks on the electorate in these various forms that are intended to convince people that their vote won't matter,' the VP said.

She reassured the crowd, including Streep, 'we are going to have a good Election Day.'

Ahead of the event, the Harris-Walz campaign said that nearly 200,000 people had signed up to watch.

Winfrey took over a soundstage in Oakland County, Michigan for filming, inviting Michigan's popular Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to rile up the crowd.

The longtime talk show host explained that the idea for the event came from the Zoom calls different groups took part in immediately after Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee - starting with 'Win With Black Women.'

Winfrey said members of all sorts of groups were turning in Thursday night - including Swifties for Harris and even Train Lovers for Harris.

'I didn't know there were train lovers,' Winfrey mused.

She said Republicans for Harris were part of the crowd.

'Love that group even more,' Winfrey commented.

The self-described independent first backed former President Barack Obama's campaign in 2008. She endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 but didn't hit the campaign trail for her.

Winfrey has been super involved this cycle, first speaking at the Democratic National Convention and then hosting the event Thursday night.

She had Harris answer questions from her in-person and livestream audience - mainly focused on the economy.
