(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In a recent speech, Vice President Kamala Harris spewed yet another gaffe, oddly touting population control in exchange for environmental justice. The statement sparked criticism from several corners.
Harris, during a speech on the environment at Coppin State University in Maryland, said, “When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.”
The White House rushed to correct the apparent misstep by amending a published text version of the speech, replacing “population” with “pollution” in brackets. However, the mistake was caught by several Twitter users, who accuse the Biden administration of calling for population control.
“The WH is doing damage control after Kamala spilled the beans about the climate agenda,” said the Twitter account End Wokeness, while sharing the amended text of the speech. Twitter account Wall Street Silver chimed in, saying, “Kamala Harris wants to “invest in reduced population.”

Ohio Senator Michael Rulli said, “That’s not just anti-American. That’s anti-human.” Political commentator Mike Sperrazza echoed Rulli’s remarks, saying, “[Kamala Harris] so who you killing off to reduce population? Enlighten us.”
This latest gaffe comes as a setback for Vice President Harris, who has been plagued by a series of missteps during her tenure, leaving her with the lowest approval ratings in the history of NBC polls.
For example, Harris came under fire on Wednesday for a seemingly condescending speech, during which she defined AI.
“AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it’s two letters. It means artificial intelligence,” Harris said in a roundtable meeting at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Political commentator Clay Travis reacted to the video on Wednesday, saying, “Kamala Harris talks to Americans like we are all in kindergarten.”
