After the trainwreck interview was broadcast, Baier revealed that four members of Harris’s team were “waving their hands” to try and stop the cameras rolling.
It was the first time Harris had sat down for an unscripted interview on a non-friendly network.
The interview was such a disaster that many are comparing it to Joe Biden’s infamous debate with President Donald Trump in July.
Baier made the shocking revelation during the post-interview broadcast.
He said he had many questions he was unable to ask Harris before the interview wrapped.
“You know, I’m talking like four people waving their hands like, ‘It’s gotta stop!’” Baier told the Fox News panel.
He continued by describing the chaotic ending to his interview with Harris.
“I had to dismount there at the end,” Baier said.
“There are so many things, and she maybe should do more of these.”
WATCH:
Baier mentioned the handlers when ending the interview, saying to Harris:
“Madam Vice President, they’re giving me a hard wrap.”
He noted multiple times that staffers trying to end the interview.
Baier also accused the campaign of tactics to “ice the kicker.”
Presumably, Baier was the kicker.
“We were supposed to start at 5 P.M. and we — this was the time they gave us,” Baier said after the interview.
“Originally we were going to do 25 or 30 minutes.
“They came in and said maybe 20.
“So it was already getting whittled down.
“There are so many things, and she maybe should do more of these.”

“And then the vice president showed up about 5:15.
“We were pushing the envelope to be able to turn it around” in time for the scheduled airing.
WATCH:
Harris’s team quickly began framing the interview as a biased attack on the Democrat nominee.
In a post on X just minutes after the interview concluded, senior campaign adviser David Plouffe complained that Baier’s interview was an “ambush.”
He didn’t explain why asking unscripted questions would be considered an “ambush,” however.
