The crazy thing here is that this was not an impromptu interview. Harris had time to prepare and catch up on current events, especially all of the things the Biden Administration is failing at. So she should have known that there would be a question about inflation. But when you hear her answer, it makes you question does she even know what inflation is?
“Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked Harris the softball question not realizing Harris was by no means ready.
“Was it wrong to consider inflation transitory? These price spikes seem like they’re going to be with us for a while,” Brennan asked.
“We have to address the fact that we have got to deal with the fact that folks are paying for gas, paying for groceries, and are — need solutions to it. So let’s talk about that,” Harris said. “Short-term solution includes what we need to do around the supply chain, right? So, we went to the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Savannah, Georgia, and said, ‘Hey, guys, no more five days a week, eight hours a day; 24/7, let’s move the products because people need their product – they need what they need.’ We’re dealing with it in terms of the long term. And that’s about what we need to do to pass Build Back Better. It strengthens our economy.”

“This struggle through a basic question reminded critics of previous reporting in which an ex-staffer of the vice president says she repeatedly refuses to read briefing materials and prepare for meetings.
“It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,” one former staffer said. “With Kamala, you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”
Several Harris staffers have since left their positions in the year since she and Biden took office.”
We just have the dream team running our country right now… I mean come on, Harris is the Vice President of our country the least she could do is stay informed on what is going with it. But knowing Harris she will just see this criticism as more discrimination, when it’s about her personal shortcomings, in not being prepared.
