Kamala Harris rise to VP not based on intellect or speaking ability

 Power Line:

Nearly every time Vice President Kamala Harris speaks to the public, the occasion ends with a humiliating and viral sound bite. And this time was no exception.

In her first public appearance since President Biden’s re-election announcement, Harris delivered remarks at an abortion rights rally at her alma mater, Howard University, in Washington D.C. on Tuesday.

Describing the significance of the moment, Harris told the crowd:

So I think it’s very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders for us at every moment in time and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future.

...

 What is remarkable is the frequency with which these occasions occur. Last month, at a White House event commemorating Women’s History Month, Harris said, “So, during Women’s History Month, we celebrate and we honor the women who made history throughout history, who saw what could be unburdened by what had been.”

...

One of Harris’ most memorable gaffes came last year. She had traveled to Sunset, Louisiana, to tout the Biden administration’s plans to deliver high-speed broadband internet to rural communities. Within 30 seconds, the vice president repeated the phrase “the significance of the passage of time” four times.

Harris said, “We were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time, right. The significance of the passage of time, so when you think about it there is great significance to passage of time. There is such great significance to the passage of time when you think of a day in the life of our children.”

...

But arguably her greatest hit of all time came during a January 2022 interview with NBC’s Craig Melvin. Melvin asked: “At what point does the administration say, ‘You know what, this strategy isn’t working. We’re going to change strategies.’ … Is it time?”

Harris replied: “It is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down.”

...

Between Biden and Harris, we have the two least intelligent people ever elected to the executive branch.  Even the Democrats probably have some more intelligent people in their ranks.
