Doocy used a guest appearance Tuesday by Harris spokesperson Ian Sams to make his offer. He and Sams lightly sparred over the Harris camp’s unsuccessful attempt to unmute microphones at all times during the debate later in the day with former President Donald Trump on ABC. The host then mentioned the rare Harris media appearance on CNN last month.
“You keep talking about Fox News viewers,” Doocy said to Sams. “She should come on Fox and speak to their concerns directly. And we’ve got a big couch here. It would be great to have her on the program. Ian, come on. Invite her. Tell her I officially invited her on ‘Fox & Friends.’”
“That’s very kind, and I will relay that to the vice president for sure,” Sams replied. “She’s talked at the White House a number of times to Peter Doocy and Jacqui Heinrich, excellent reporters who are there at the White House. She’s gonna be doing more events across the country, hitting the campaign trail just later this week, going to North Carolina, going to Pennsylvania. She’s gonna be doing more interviews. She’s gonna be doing more events where she can engage directly with voters and talk to them.”
“Well, bring her on ‘Fox & Friends’! She shouldn’t be afraid of … ‘Fox & Friends’!” Doocy exclaimed. “If she can’t talk to us, God forbid how she deals with Putin.”
“We ain’t afraid of ‘Fox & Friends’!” Sams said. “I’m sitting here talking to you right now. I’m enjoying it very much.”
Doocy told Sams he appreciated the visit.
