(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris never seems lost for words, even though the cacophony of cackles she spews seldom make sense.
Harris was at it again this week, when she managed to turn a roundtable discussion with students at Claflin University in South Carolina into a jumbled mess about communities, banks and racial inequities.
“We know that there is a real divide, in particular a racial wealth gap in America on many levels, including when it comes to access to capitol,” the Veep lectured before getting stuck in a word salad loop about community banks in communities that are part of the community because, well, community.
“We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks, because we know community banks are in the community, and understand the needs and desires of that community as well as the talent and capacity of community,” she informed.
Harris, not for the first time and almost assuredly not for the last, was roundly roasted for her tortured tautology.
“Kamala Harris, the greatest orator since Winston Churchill, on community banks,” tweeted Outkick’s Clay Travis, riffing off Harris’ blathering from earlier this when she compared herself to John Adams, founding father and second president of the United States.

“Meaningless word salad aside, the government doesn’t ‘invest’ in anything,” noted media pundit Brian Doherty. “The private sector invests. What she actually means is the government gave $12b of taxpayer money to banks in the form of government spending. There’s no return on a government ‘investment.'”
Lampooned another Twitter user, “I don’t know the name of the young Republican who infiltrated Harris staff, made it to speech writer and now makes her say these things. But sir/ma’am, wherever and whoever you are – i salute you!”
Maybe it’s possible for Harris to up her oratory skills with more practice and the passage of time. But given her rocky relationship with said passage of time, it seems unlikely.
“The significance of the passage of time, right?” Harris babbled earlier this year.
“The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time…there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.”
