Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a meandering aside about democracy on Sunday, giving her critics more fodder with which to mock the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate.
Harris spoke during a stop on a multi-city bus tour in the battleground state of Pennsylvania along with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and their spouses.
“Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy,” Harris said.
“As a democracy,” she repeated, “we know there’s a duality to the nature of democracy. On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact.”

Harris went on, “What it does for its people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty, and their freedom. Incredibly strong and incredibly fragile.”
Video of Harris speaking about democracy were posted to X along with some not-so-flattering commentary from the presidential candidate’s detractors.
“Kamala word salads are so back,” said conservative digital strategist Greg Price.

“This is why they don’t let Kamala speak without a script. Yikes,” remarked the “End Wokeness” account.
“What does this even mean?” asked Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL)

“Kamala Harris was, is and will always be terrible on the stump,” said radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt.
“Not a good look when everyone on X is calling you a drunk,” added X user Collin Rugg.
“Kamala Harris serves up a fresh word salad as she describes the ‘duality to the nature of democracy,'” said the Trump War Room.
There have been many other instances in which Harris garnered negative attention for verbally stumbling her way through some off-the-cuff remarks.
Examples include her often-used “unburdened by what has been” and “coconut tree” remarks that led to a meme.
Harris has tried to own the awkward comments with a “brat” rebranding in which she has sought to embrace her inelegant moments.
The Trump War Room, which is associated with former President Donald Trump‘s campaign, highlighted another clip on Sunday of “Kamala ‘Cringe’ Harris.”
