Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, was slammed on social media late on Thursday night over a statement that she made on an airport tarmac where three Americans were returned after being wrongfully imprisoned in Russia.
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, and Russian-American journalist Alsu Kurmasheva were greeted by Harris and President Joe Biden on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland shortly after landing on U.S. soil.
“This is just extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances,” Harris said. “This is an incredible day.”
“Here we go again,” said conservative commentator Tomi Lahren. “Kamala is still burdened by what has been, clearly.”
Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell responded to the clip: “Dear God. Without a teleprompter she’s unable to make sense. DC reporters are helping her hide.”

Many critics online also pointed out Biden’s highly perplexed look as he stood next to her and listened to her talk.
