Kamala Harris Campaigns at a Funeral, Calls Herself 'the President' in Incredibly Weird Scene

Kamala Harris' handlers have been carefully curating all of her public appearances since Joe Biden was forced off the ticket and the vice president became the presumptive nominee. For the most part, that's meant heavily scripted rallies with high-level entertainers (in popularity, not quality) doing the heavy lifting.

On Thursday, she was put in a different position, though. Appearing in Houston, Harris gave the eulogy for recently passed Democrat politician Sheila Jackson Lee, and things got really weird.

At one point, Harris started touting her own political record. She then called herself "the president," which led to the room bursting out in applause. Remember, this is a funeral.

HARRIS: It was Sheila Jackson Lee whose bill made Juneteenth a federal holiday (applause), which as a United States senator I was proud to co-sponsor, and then as president, as vice president, it was my honor (long applause)...with the president, with the president, it was my honor, it was my honor with our president Joe Biden to stand beside Shelia Jackson Lee as our president signed her bill into law.

To make things even more uncomfortable, as all the rapturous applause is happening, the camera shot changes to a wide shot of Jackson Lee's coffin. Harris then begins laughing as she stumbles through the rest of her statement.(snip)

While I sincerely doubt that the press will have anything to say about Harris' use of a funeral to play politics or the very disrespectful actions of the audience, it's still disturbing. Is nothing sacred anymore? Who brags about their own political record at someone else's funeral? And who cheers for that person as they are doing so? It's just such a foreign concept to me (and likely most of you).

So she can’t even fulfill the traditional role of VP without screwing it up?

[dis.kevin]

Just weird

Something that's happened to her many times before.

The author asks "Is nothing sacred anymore?" The author must be a youngster, has a short memory, or never listened to Rush.

Lee’s greatest accomplishment was making the racist Juneteenth a federal holiday? All those years in government and that’s all she did?

[simpson96]

Lee's "biggest accomplishment"...paid day off for federal employees... lowers productivity and costs the taxpayers, year after year after year...

She's a real hero to the Dems, yep.

Well, she did ask about the flag the astronauts left on Mars, leading to countless comic relief posts on FR.

And, if you listen to Michael Berry, she gave him a lot of his material ...

With few opportunities to flack Kinky Kamala, Hillary turned
radical lefty jackson lee’s funeral into a Harris campaign event.

This has to be the weirdest eulogy ever spoken: “.....when Harris takes the oath of office, I’ll be thinking of Sheila, wondering what she’s wearing, what magnificent long scarf she has wrapped around herself,” Hillary bellowed.

Her favorite flavor of yoghurt is “man”.

[silent_jonny]

Remember, this is a funeral.

"Sigh ... Tell me about it."

[chuckee]

Well, the flight staffs on Southwest Air will no longer have to contend with Jackson Lee’s surly obnoxious behavior during flights from DC to Houston? Don’t expect any flowers from them.

[Sacajaweau]

kudos...

Probably all the above. Hard to believe the Wellstone memorial was 22 years ago.

The Clintons used to have the market cornered on funeral crashing.

Man, I miss Rush.

[silent_jonny]

LOL

So she’s Maduro in a pantsuit?

“I izz de president, cuz I say so!”
