Kamala Harris Has Trouble Defining Vice President’s Job in ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ Appearance
Breitbart ^ | 03/16/2023 | David NG

Posted on 03/16/2023 8:44:30 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Battling persistently low approval ratings across party lines, Vice President Kamala Harris (D) appeared Wednesday on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the latest attempt to burnish her public image. But Harris stumbled badly when she seemed either unable or unwilling to define the vice president’s job.

During the awkward exchange, host Stephen Colbert asked Harris to explain “what is the actual role on a daily basis” of the vice president.

Harris avoided answering the question by praising President Joe Biden (D). “Well, I have the great privilege of serving with Joe Biden, who is president of the United States,” she said to thunderous applause from the studio audience.”Right! Right! Exactly right. Exactly right.”

She added: “And was vice president.”

Colbert replied: “Does he understand what it’s like to be vice president?”

Her job is basically to be a black woman. That’s the only reason she was selected.

And she’s not really doing a good job doing those.

Colbert replied: “Does he understand what it’s like to be vice president?”

That is a valid question.

In fairness, anyone would have trouble defining what the Vice President’s job is.

She probably quoted Jim Kelly’s line from “Enter the Dragon,” “I Don’t Waste My Time With It. When It Comes, I Won’t Even Notice. I’ll Be too busy looking good!”

(Good, of course, in her own mind).

It's an interesting question, though. What IS the Vice President's job?

Dan Quayle said he could answer that question in two words:

"To be ready."

In fact, “Does he understand?” is also a valid question.

Well we have a black female Supreme Court Justice that can’t define what a woman is. Brown and Harris have set the bar really low for black women. Reminds me of a line from the Dylan song Idiot Wind, “You’re an idiot babe, it’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe.”

They never act as “President of the Senate”, the only Constitutional VP task I can think of.


And I remember Sarah Palin being roasted for explaining that being President of the Senate is the VP’s job.

The "roasters" had clearly never read the Constitution.

Article I, Section 3, Clause 4:

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

She had one job, and she blew it.

Ask the virago if she is a woman and how she can tell with a blindfold on. Then have her explain it to that female Archimedes Biden appointed to the Supreme court.

Her response was lame. All she had to say was the VP’s main job is to be able to step in if something were to happen to the President. Apparently she had been groomed not to go there which is why she took great pains to avoid that can of worms. :-)

They at one time would say it is a great privilege to serve the American people, but that’s not how these people think anymore.

For an honest person it’s not much of a job. But if you want to influence pedal and line your pockets in a big way, it’s a great job. As evidenced by Joe Depends.
