(Alex Tien, Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris has made yet another series of embarrassing rhetorical blunders while appearing on the Willie Moore Jr. Show.
During the interview last Friday, the nationally syndicated radio personality asked Harris a number of softball questions that she wasn’t prepared to answer, according to clips posted by the GOP War Room via YouTube.
Most notably, Harris was asked what she would say to “encourage our nation.”
To no one’s surprise, Harris’ response made little sense and showed she had no idea how to encourage Americans.
“I would say…. first of all…. thank you… for being a fighter, for knowing that we have reason to have faith in what is possible,” she began.
“But we have to work to make it achievable,” she continued, without specifying what it was.
Quickly, however, she pivoted from offering words of hope and comfort to brazen political speechifying.
“That includes what folks did to get out and vote in 2020,” she said, “because… what that led to… I think of it like people putting in their order, saying, ‘This is what I want.'”
Based on Harris’s habit of serving up empty word-salad-like platitudes with no genuine solutions for America’s growing woes, some may be tempted to send back whatever it was.
Regarding the ongoing gas crisis, for example, Moore asked Harris how Americans could deal with the extremely high costs at the pump.
“People across the country right now are in a crunch due to these extremely high gas prices,” Moore said. “What’s the solution—how do we get closer to a solution … because people can’t get from point A to point B.”
Harris responded that she knows it is a “real issue.”
The vice president noted that “we have released some of the reserves—the petroleum reserves—to bring down the cost of gas prices.”
She may have been referring to the 50 million barrels released in November—a roughly two-and-a-half-day supply—that led even far-left environmentalists to shrug.
“Gas is just part of the cost of living, right?” Harris continued. “And it’s just too expensive for people to get by. And so we’re just looking at bringing down the cost of living in a number of ways.”
This not the first time Harris have been asked about the high gas prices and offered little to no response.
In early March, when questioned about the Biden administration continuing to buy oil from Russia, Harris likewise circumlocuted the issue.

“Understanding that, right now, on the issue of energy, our allies have stood firm and unified in a way that many of the pundits didn’t predict would happen, to ensure that we are unified in our approach to this issue,” she nebulously explained.
