Kamala Harris roasted for latest ‘word salad’ during softball MSNBC interview ('holistically')

Holy “holistic,” Kamala.

The vice president and Democratic presidential nominee was mocked Wednesday night over her rapid-fire deployment of the word “holistic” during a friendly interview with MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle.

During an extended answer about housing, Harris used the SAT word — which refers to connections and complete systems rather than separate topics — three times in 23 seconds.

“Some of the work is going to be through what we do in terms of giving benefits and assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars, and looking holistically at the connection between that and housing,” the 59-year-old rambled, “and looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in [a] holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing for working people.”

Republicans and conservatives mocked Harris for using the word as a crutch.

“Kamala appears to have just learned the word ‘holistically,'” the Trump campaign account Trump War Room wrote on X.

“When Kamala Harris learns a new word, it’s painfully obvious. Here she uses the word ‘holistic’ three times,” podcaster Eric Matheny posted along with a clip of the interview.

“The only thing shocking to me about this is that MSNBC aired it,” commented Red State senior editor Brandon Morse.

All of her speech patterns are disturbing.. has anyone analyzed them yet?

If you line up everything she says, day after day, you’ll find that it’s all mad-libs. It’s the same sentences with new words chosen.

Like country music or reggaeton.

Check it out.

She needs to get herself level-set and just hit the wave tops.

Synergistically.

‘Holistic’ is a very useful word, and it’s been around a long time.

But I’d like to hear someone ask Kamala to actually define it.

You would think this low IQ cackling hyena would be down by 5-10 points against Trump by now with all the word salad stupidity coming out of her mouth but no she is neck in neck …. incredible! This is so freaking nerve wracking and upsetting! Please God help us!

Yes, that’s true. It is a fine word. Bit overused in briefings and assorted motivational and lifestyle classes these days.

She should switch it up a little, throw a “capacity” or “scalable”, or “leverage” in there. Also fine words.

It must be derived from the Greek holos, "whole," "complete," "entire."

What is the opposite of holistic? Partistic?

In thinking about her, I have used a number of different words to describe her. And none of them are holistic.

Her “word salads” are about as appetizing as a bowl of rocks with rancid dressing poured over them.

“What is the opposite of holistic?”

Reductionist.

(Another opportunity to show my ability to search online.)

You know..... you would think that. You would think this individual would be getting trounced right now.

My whole life I have heard that Americans vote their wallet, and if the economy slides on a president’s watch.... watch out!

That’s what we all thought in 2020. Then that whole idea of how Americans vote totally flipped on its head. Same in 2022. I remember the experts bein flummoxed. Couldn’t figure out how they got it so wrong.

What a mystery this is!

All of a sudden, America is 50% hard core communist. And I do mean hard core.

Well i’ll be!

Totally unrelated, and I do apologize for changing the subject so radically. But from all indications, America is about 50% gay or supportive of the homo and trans lifestyle. Well, not too long ago, a gay romantic comedy came out named “Bro’s”. You would think it was a blockbuster right? Nope, bombed. Top Gun:Maverick was a smash hit.

Something doesn’t match here.....

Why, you’d almost think that a large amount of what we’re told and what we think we see is simply not true! Almost.

Maybe we should take a closer look at voting? WHOA, mention that and it’s a barroom brawl with our esteemed colleagues across the aisle! By golly, even hire a lawyer and they will grind you and your family to dust! Look at the ballots and it’s to the mattresses!

And we sit here and pretend there is not a problem when it is as clear as the sun on a cloudless day at noon. And they just laugh as they work us deeper into their lair.

As you can probably tell, it irritates me greatly.

Does anyone think Harris is covered in body tattoos? I’ve looked at thousands of photos of her and in every one of them, she has long sleeves and wearing a suit coat? There is one evening gown but that too has long sleeves and higher neckline.
Thoughts?

A grave digger is a holist.

I could be wrong about that.
