(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris broke her post-election silence Tuesday evening in what social media users speculated was a drunken rant.
Harris kept a low profile after she was defeated by President-elect Donald Trump, vacationing in Kalaoa, Hawaii with her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
In video released by the Democratic National Committee, available in full on the vice president’s YouTube channel, a visibly wiped-out Harris struggled to deliver remarks urging Democrats not to let anyone take their power.

“I just have to remind you. Don’t you every let anybody take your power from you,” she said in the 30-second clip posted on X. “You have the same power that you did before November 5th, and you have the same purpose that you did. And you have the same ability to engage and inspire.”
Social media users immediately responded by suggesting Harris got hammered in Hawaii.

They want her career over.

Comedian Terrence K. Williams posted a video of himself reacting to Harris’s reemergence, donning a red Make America Great Again hat.
He initially looked on with wide eyes as Harris spoke, blinking rapidly before laughing and saying, “Kamala! Girl, where you being, at the bar? Oh my goodness, are you okay? Girl, you lookin’ rough!”

I hear @KamalaHarris and her posse were staying at the Robert Mondavi (winery) home in Hawaii. While there, it appears she got lit, recorded, and release this video.
