With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the White House made the decision to send Kamala Harris over to Europe to handle the situation. I mean, it’s not like Joe Biden should be expected to do his job as president, and apparently, the administration was well pleased with Harris’ last disastrous trip overseas, which culminated in Putin crossing into Ukraine a day after she proclaimed how effective US sanction threats were.
This time, Harris has been sent to Poland and Romania to do something or another (really, I have no idea what is actually being accomplished by this trip), and as RedState reported, things haven’t gone well so far. The vice president continued this behavior today, as she completely lost her mind and spoke in circles about a basic question standing next to the Romanian President.
REPORTER: “How long should Americans expect — how long should we be bracing for — this historic inflation and some unprecedented gas prices?”

Now, to be fair to the vice president, the RNC’s clip is edited in a way that cuts off the reporter’s first question, which was specifically addressed to President Iohannis. Naturally Harris was expected to answer Harris’ question, about gas and inflation.
Harris didn’t just answer it. She seemed to shudder for a while before Iohannis called for Harris to speak. Then, she continued to talk for several minutes about the Black Sea as well as discussions with Romania in an extremely slow pace. These topics had absolutely nothing to do the the question she was asked.
Eventually, she then moved into another “dog ate my homework” moment, an all too common occurrence for Harris, where she tried to sound really profound while stating that “there is a price to pay for democracy.” I guess she thought that was a good substitute for actually addressing the issue of Americans suffering under massive inflation?
Here’s what that looked like, with Townhall’s video picking up where the RNC’s left off.

Harris is known for being unprepared when she speaks in public. This was evident again with Harris’s speech. It sounded like Harris was talking in circles to get the time. Her musings about the Black Sea, which she wasn’t asked about, then gave way to a rant about being loyal to friends and paying the price for shared values. She didn’t provide any substantive information on inflation. This was again the question she was asking.
Her comments actually came across as if she was trying to guilt Americans into accepting the failures of the administration lest they be labeled as disloyal to “democracy.” I’m not sure if that’s how she meant it or if she’s just so bad at this that she didn’t realize how condescending she sounded, but it wasn’t a good look. Americans don’t want more high-minded speeches from impersonal politicians. They need real answers. Harris keeps on blaring more cowbell.
Whenever I watch Harris speak publicly, I’m left asking what exactly that PR firm she hired is being paid to do. Is there any preparation she is doing before major events such as this? Is it possible for her to have advice from them to help with obvious questions, such as the ones pertaining to inflation. Are her questions a little off-topic? Whatever the reason, it’s embarrassing that she’s being sent to handle America’s foreign policy, especially in the current climate where mistakes have major consequences.
Joe Biden could do better. It’s unlikely that Joe Biden would be any more successful, but it wouldn’t hurt to ask the president to act as president. Biden skipped two of the most important foreign policy visits to Europe in recent years. Does the Russian threat not seem to be a major issue for the Obama administration? One might even speculate he isn’t physically capable of doing his job, but I digress. It is absurd to send Harris as the voice for America during a Russian invasion in Europe. I know Democrats want to be able to claim she has real-world foreign policy experience in 2024, but this isn’t the time for on-the-job training. These are high stakes.
