BRANDYWINE, MARYLAND - DECEMBER 13:
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris talks about the effect of pollution on her sight and taste remarks at the Prince George’s County Brandywine Maintenance Facility on December 13, 2021 in Brandywine, Maryland. The county is working to electrify its entire vehicle fleet. During the visit Harris announced the Biden Administration's new Electric Vehicle Charging Action Plan that works to fast-track investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and create a joint electric vehicles office between the departments of Energy and Transportation.
Vice President Kamala Harris visited the city of Brotherly Love on Tuesday to address members of the Sheet Metal Workers Association and to meet with union leaders.
Earlier that day, the Bureau of Labor Statistics had released the March Consumer Price Index, which pegged year-over-year inflation at a whopping 8.5 percent.
During an interview that followed her speech, with Tamala Edwards of Philadelphia’s WPVI-TV, Harris was asked what steps the Biden administration is taking to fight the record inflation we currently face.
With a sure and steady tone of voice, Harris replied: “Well, first of all, I acknowledge one must acknowledge that prices are going up. And that people are working hard and, in many cases, they’re worried about whether they can get through the end of the month and make it all work.”
What came next was a three-minute word salad about child tax credits, lower drug prices and her three trips to Europe over the past four months — none of which addressed the actual problem.
Finally, she concluded, at about the 3:45 mark: “What I can say is that people deserve to know that their president, that our administration, is concerned enough to do something about it, and so that is what we are doing.”

“I acknowledge one must acknowledge that prices are going up?” Are you kidding me?
Actually, Harris’ vapid response shouldn’t surprise anyone. Nearly every time the vice president speaks publicly, news outlets come away with a new soundbite that bolsters the theory that President Joe Biden really did choose her as an “insurance policy” against a potential impeachment. The truth, is she might actually make a worse president than Biden.
Harris traveled to Sunset, Louisiana, in late March to tout the Biden administration’s plans to deliver high-speed broadband internet to rural communities.
Within 30 seconds, she repeated the phrase “the significance of the passage of time” four times.
Harris said, “We were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about, it there is great significance to passage of time. There is such great significance to the passage of time when you think of a day in the life of our children.”

“I am here, standing here on the northern flank, on the eastern flank, talking about what we have in terms of the eastern flank and our NATO allies, and what is at stake at this very moment,” she told reporters in Warsaw as she checked her notes.

I suppose it could have been worse. She could have broken out in laughter, which is often her nervous response to a question that intimidates her. Oh … wait. She did that in Europe, too.

During a joint news conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in Bucharest the next day, a reporter asked Harris, “How long should Americans expect — how long should we be bracing for — this … historic inflation and some unprecedented gas prices?”
This was a question she should have been ready for, but Harris was incapable of answering. Following a brief pause, she opened her mouth and delivered a three-minute monologue of meaningless malarkey that had next to nothing to do with the question she was asked.
After veering completely off-topic for two-and-a-half minutes, she essentially said, “We don’t know how long inflation and high gas prices will last. We must stand by our friends and endure the Putin price hike.”

The terrible impression she made on that disastrous trip outraged a former spokeswoman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. She tweeted, “It would be a tragedy if this woman won the presidency.”
After some fierce backlash, she deleted the tweet. It’s a pity she had to because frankly, I couldn’t agree with her more.
I’ll leave you with this. One Twitter user responded to Harris’ nonsensical answer to this question by posting the following clip of a contestant in the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant. This young woman clearly had no idea how to answer the question and tried to wing it. The result is painful to watch, but hilarious. (She ended the pageant as fourth runner-up.)

With Harris, it’s just as painful.
Considering her position, though, there’s nothing funny about it.
The left is good at slogans and they are the biggest home of the “good idea fairy” on the planet.
They are great at being an opposition party.
It is only when they are in charge that the rest of us get a dose of how bad their ideas suck. Even their media minions cannot cover it up.
“I acknowledge one must acknowledge...”
Like, far out, man.
The thing about the left is that they do what they say and campaign on, which ends up as a disaster. Republicans usually don’t do what they say/run on, which is also a disaster.
Just d_mn.
I’m concerned that Kamala is not concerned enough. . . .
They are not going to do a damn thing. This is a feature, not a flaw of their policies.
As for the electric charging stations, that one just sticks in my craw bigly. NO ONE subsidizes my gas stations. And I damn sure don’t want to pay for their plugs. Damn my TWO rino senators for voting for that idiotic nonsense.
Dave’s not here
Holy crap, she is beyond embarrassing.
I suppose that consists of reciting more zero-facts canned responses at yet another "press conference."
Kammie would get better mileage by simply saying "nothing."

Exactly.

In the immortal words of the late great nfl coach Dennis Green
“They are who we thought they were”
Only this ain’t some game being played by millionaire athletes.
I acknowledge one must acknowledge the passage of time which involves the passage of time. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
People around her must know that she’s just dumb. Otherwise, they would do some kind of intervention.
This is your vice president on drugs.
“They are not going to do a damn thing”
Exactly right...this IS the plan.
Burn it all down and rebuild in their own image.
THAT is what the “build back better” REALLY means.
Part of the Biden clown show.
They apparently try to prepare her, but she pays no attention.
She thinks she’s fine just as she is.
I almost want her to become president. It would certainly be entertaining, until all hell broke loose.
I had a pretty intense discussion with some friends/co-workers last weekend where we all agreed that both “parties” suck. It’s “their” game and we are not invited.
However, as bad as the GOPe can be they are nowhere near as insane as the far left who are now effectively in charge. I would love to throw them all out on their ear but it’s not an option.
I have said many times here on FR that if we can not take over our own party and put people in place who will do what they say (like Trump) we have no chance of righting the ship of state. As long as we are forced to choose between the “less bad” option of a Romney or McCain over Obama we are screwed.
At this point how could it be any worse?
I am not being sarcastic either.
