Kamala Harris Produces a Word Salad That Will Make You Question Everything – Opinion

Some years ago, your favorite, quasi-anonymous political writer made his debut on Sean Hannity’s primetime show. Sure, it was only a brief mention of my article’s premise, alongside a screenshot of the headline, but for that moment, I transcended…something.

The article in question was titled “Joe Biden Produces a Word Salad So Bad It’ll Make You Question Everything.” And while it seems almost quaint now, having been written prior to the 2020 election, it remains no less instructive today, serving as a reminder of just how far gone Biden was — even during the campaign.

Look at the man who will go on to be the United States President.

Joe Biden: “We cannot let this, we’ve never allowed any crisis from the Civil War straight through to the pandemic of 17, all the way around, 16, we have never, never let our democracy sakes second fiddle, way they, we can both have a democracy and … correct the public health.” pic.twitter.com/Ymz8JtQvjH

I’m sure there are still crack research teams trying to translate what was spoken in those 21 seconds. It’s like he was speaking another language, and that video explains so much about where we are today. If you ever run across a person who claims there wasn’t any warning that Biden was going to mentally collapse in office, just play that clip for them. Before the first ballot was cast, alarm bells began to ring.

But I digress. What’s done is done, and now Kamala Harris has produced a word salad worthy of following that brilliant Biden performance. Sure, she doesn’t sound like someone dumped acid into her ears, but everything that is spoken in the clip I’m about to share with you is completely incoherent nonetheless.

It’s rare that someone has ever said so many things without actually saying anything. Really, take the time to watch the entire clip, because it’s hard to put into words exactly how vapid that minute-and-a-half of her speaking is.

Beginning with a basic question, the reporter asks: What if Putin made it clear that he wants to invade the United States, like the Biden administration asserts, how is the threat of sanctions still a deterrent? Harris arrived without having done her research, even though it was the most pressing issue for several days. Instead, she avoided the obvious contradiction, proclaiming the sanctions as “some of the greatest” ever devised, as if she were trying to sell a used car.

A completely confused reporter followed up to try desperately to find an answer about the elephant in her room. She asked again, how could Putin have made up his mind to invade but still be deterred by the administration’s sanctions? Harris persevered, delighting in her word salad and displaying the culinary skills of an international chef. Once again jumping over the glaring contradiction, the vice president began to talk about a diplomatic solution — even though her prior position absconded from the possibility of a diplomatic solution, ending with a proclamation that the “deterrence effect still has merit.” How so? It was never the part that she got to.

Even down to her halting way of speaking, the entire clip is like watching a hung-over high-school student trying to talk about a book in class they obviously didn’t read. It is hard to believe that someone could be so unprepared for their jobs. Harris is what? Does she not have an advisor preparing her for what’s coming? Or is she so arrogant that she believes she doesn’t even need to prep?

On the merits, I shouldn’t have to explain this to the supposedly smartest people in the room, but if the goal is to offer Putin a diplomatic off-ramp, the last thing you’d want to do is announce that an invasion is a foregone conclusion, thereby backing the Russian leader into a corner. This strategy was devised by a mediocre over-credentialed person. It’s mind-blowing in its combination of incoherence and ineffectiveness.

We are now witnessing Kamala Harris sent to Europe to help defuse possible wars, and Joe Biden returning to Delaware. The most foreign policy of the powerful nation in the world is currently being stewarded by a woman who can’t even take 10 minutes to game plan for an interview. It’s enough to make you question everything about this administration.
