While President Biden and key members of his national security team have borne the brunt of criticism and outrage over the swift fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban — and the scenes of chaos and carnage as Americans and Afghans attempt to get out of the country — Vice President Kamala Harris has kept a conspicuously low profile.
It’s a far cry from April 25, when Harris appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” and proudly affirmed to host Dana Bash that she had been, as Bash put it, “the last person in the room” with Biden when he decided to end US involvement in Afghanistan.
“And you feel comfortable [with Biden’s decision]?” Bash followed up.
“I do, and I’m going to add to that,” Harris said. “This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage. He is someone who I have seen over and over again make decisions based on what he truly believes — based on his years of doing this work and studying these issues — what he truly believes is the right thing to do.”

“I do, and I’m going to add to that,” Harris said. “This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage. He is someone who I have seen over and over again make decisions based on what he truly believes — based on his years of doing this work and studying these issues — what he truly believes is the right thing to do.”
Listening to her is like sitting in on an 8th grade student council meeting, although she has more practice at using slogans.
Kamala is on her way to Singapore and Vietnam. On her way back she will stop in CA to campaign for Gov. Newsome. No one is minding the store.
It’s yeast infection harvest time in Vietnam
Heels-up is giving us a lesson in Democrat leadership.
I should say “another lesson,” as we already got what should have been our lesson from the Benghazi debacle. The MSM saved the Democrat’s bacon on that one.
“Vice President Kamala Harris has kept a conspicuously low profile...”
Thank goodness for small favors.
I don’t miss her.
To answer the question, she’s as far away from DC as they could send her.
If ‘they’ were smart, her next stop would be Kabul to negotiate with the taliban.
Yes, and like Miss America used to say “I want our nation to have opportunities for all and to achieve the goal of world peace.” (crowd cries and cheers, on its feet).
Will she suffer from the Ron Brown syndrome.
She was dispatched to Vietnam on a mission. What happened to Ron Brown when the Clintons sent him to Africa on a mission?
She has no sense of guilt over shirking responsibility.
Named Border Czar to upend the Trump policies (which were working after Obama left), she clamped her mouth shut on the topic and she never went near the actual border (months later she gave a brief talk at a distant area technically near a border region without crossers).
Named co-planner of the exciting and dynamic withdrawal from Afghanistan with the eminent statesman Joe Biden, she flees to Vietnam.
Meeting with South Pole American researchers was scrapped.
She says she didn’t plan the withdrawal, she only heard Joe did it.
Blowed up Sir
I don’t watch the MSM TV News Shows, anyone know if they have even bothered to cover her trip?
She’s off to Vietnam to inspect the embassy roof. She SHOULD be in DC, getting vital OJT.
Every hour it seems to be getting worse
I needed a doom break and turned on the french Riveria soccer game. Not quite Kabul but game suspended ..everyone fighting. Fans..players..etc
I guess there is always tennis
I dunno, they’ll probably be throwing their racquets at each other.
Everybody is so much on edge and so angry right now.
[[Where’s Kamala?]]
Apparently she is busy laughing hysterically over the chaos in Afghanistan
Well I’m certainly no fan of hers but if I was next in line to handle this mess I might laugh hysterically too. Now why did various movie scenes of Caligula just pop into my head.
“On her way back she will stop in CA . . .”
She’s coming back?
