Mara Gay: Trump Is So ‘Extreme’ that We Can’t Hold Kamala Harris Accountable

EXCERPT:

GAY: “I think it's important as our role -- for our role as journalists to really push every candidate for office. And there are plenty of things that we could hear from the vice president that we'd love to hear more about policy speeches. It'd be great to see her take more questions from the press. Those things are important. It's just the context is difficult because because of the extremism of the Republican Party, because of how extreme Donald Trump is, it's -- it's hard to hold both candidates accountable equally, because one is committed to democracy and is functioning as a normal candidate from a normal American party, and the other is not. And so, you know, this is really about the extremism of the -- of the Republican ticket. And it's important to hold all candidates accountable. It's just that when you do that, it does sometimes sound a little silly, because given the breadth of what the vice president is offering the American people, there is no comparison with Donald Trump.”
