In another awkward moment showing her seeming difficulty in dealing with people normally, Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris spoke to a high school band about leadership and leadership qualities, but, based on her tone of voice, sounded like she was talking down to a group of pre-school children.
VP Kamala’s awkward high school moment came when she and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, spoke at Liberty County High School in Hinesville, Georgia, on Wednesday, August 28. The trip and visit came amidst her attempt to win over voters in the state that went very narrowly to her and Biden in the 2020 election.
In the incredibly awkward video that emerged of the visit and VP Kamala Harris’s awkward remarks to the high school band members, she can be heard over-enunciating nearly every single syllable and speaking quite slowly. In fact, she did that to such an extent that it sounded much more like she was jokingly talking to pre-schoolers rather than high school students or thought the high schoolers wouldn’t be able to keep up with her inane speech.
The video is even worse than just the audio, as in it she can be nodding her head with every word, again as if she was speaking to little kids. She said, “Our country is counting on you. All of you. You are leaders. By the very fact that you all are here in this room, doing what you do at this incredible school, doing it as one big team, understanding all the different parts that fit together to create a team.”
Watch her here:
Critics quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to share what they thought of the video and Trump. For example, conservative X personality Greg Price, commenting on the matter, said, “Kamala explains the concept of how teams work together to a high school band as if they are 5 years old. It’s a real mystery why her handlers never let her speak without a script…”
A quote-tweeter of Price’s post about Kamlaa and her awkwardness, joking about what Gov. Walz must be thinking as Kamala cackles, rambles, and mindlessly speaks in the awkward yet still radical way she does, said, “Can’t imagine being Tim Walz and having to listen to this bullshit nonsense and then act like I agree with it???? Hilarious”
Another person, commenting on what Kamala’s awkward speech could show about both her beliefs about herself and her actual intelligence and perception by the public, said, “She always does this. She literally talks down to people because she believes she is the smartest person in the room. Reality is, she is probably the dumbest person in the room.”
Still another joked that it is going to be impossible to listen to Kamala for years on end if she somehow wins the presidential race, saying that it will be better to put needles in one’s own ears to avoid listening than to have to listen to it. She said, “There is no way I will make it through four years of her without sticking knitting needles in my ears.”
