Veteran Dem strategist's damning three-word verdict on Kamala Harris' performance in critical CNN town hall
Kamala Harris branded Donald Trump a 'fascist' and got flustered when confronted about whether the border wall was 'stupid' during a high-stakes CNN town hall just 13 days from the election.
But it was Harris' inability to provide clear answers on both domestic and foreign policy, and trademark meandering responses throughout the 90-minute session that had even CNN's left-leaning panelists ripping her afterwards.
Veteran Democratic strategist David Axelrod, who helped get Barack Obama elected and served as one of his top advisers, summed up Harris' performance with the catchphrase of the night: 'Word salad city.'
Van Jones, another prominent talking head on CNN who also worked in the Obama administration, echoed Axelrod's key point.
'The word salad stuff gets on my nerves,' he bluntly said on-air after the town hall wrapped.
'I think some of the evasions are not necessary.'
And CNN's Dana Bash said of Harris afterward that 'if her goal was to close the deal, they're not sure she did that.'
