WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News host Laura Ingraham questioned Kamala Harris' ability to govern a nation on the Friday, August 2 episode of 'The Ingraham Angle'. 

The conservative journalist expressed that the Democratic nominee isn't as "politically adept" as previous candidates, arguing that the vice president's ascent to her current position was more a result of connections than merit.

On her Fox News show, Laura Ingraham stated, "When you don't really ever get vetted, when you get pushed along in your career not for your talent, but because of connections — well, you can fake it for a while, but the truth is always going to come out."

She promptly added, "And here's the truth: Harris is nowhere close to being as politically adept as Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, let alone in the same stratosphere as Obama."

The Fox News host criticized Harris' performance, saying, "She can't hold a press conference or answer reporters' questions. She can't explain why their record is, by any measure, successful. She can't go into Michigan and explain how she's going to rescue the auto industry. She can't go into Pittsburgh to explain how she's going to save the steel industry."

She added, "And we certainly know she cannot reassure a single world leader of her competence and understanding of geopolitical affairs."

Laura Ingraham claims Kamala Harris lacks the necessary experience to be president

Subsequently, Laura Ingraham highlighted a recent meeting between Kamala Harris and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing it as disastrous. She went as far as to claim that Netanyahu's subsequent actions — ordering the attack on the leader of Hamas — were influenced by his negative impression of the vice president.

"They're acting as though we're going to, I don't know, vote for Miss Congeniality here in the United States," remarked the conservative journalist, criticizing the Democratic Party's portrayal of Harris.

She concluded, "The idea that Kamala is going to be responsible for the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans or commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of US troops is beyond comprehension. She will make none of the big decisions. She's even worse than Biden because she's never really been vetted, and she has no experience."
