Kamala Harris is back—not with a bang, but with the same cringe-inducing word salads, awkward pauses, and bizarre metaphors that made her 2020 campaign a national joke. At the Emerge Gala in San Francisco, Harris delivered a speech so painfully scripted and devoid of substance that even liberal media outlets struggled to spin it positively. Instead of inspiring confidence, she reminded Americans why she was the first Democratic candidate to drop out of the 2020 primary—despite starting as the supposed frontrunner.
Harris opened with her signature forced enthusiasm: “Hi everyone!”—followed by an uncomfortably long shout-out to “Douggie.” The delivery was less like a vice president addressing the nation and more like a tipsy aunt rambling at a family reunion. Then came the now-infamous “high-velocity vessel” line, a phrase so meaningless it could’ve been generated by a Democratic buzzword bot. Her speech was a tangled mess of empty platitudes, delivered at a pace so slow it felt like a malfunctioning teleprompter.
Even left-leaning commentators couldn’t ignore the trainwreck. One MSNBC analyst muttered, “This is… certainly a choice.” Meanwhile, Fox News’ Jesse Watters quipped, “Kamala’s speeches are like a bad audiobook—you keep waiting for the plot to kick in, but it never does.”
In a moment of peak irony, Harris tried to rally Democrats with a metaphor about elephants—yes, the GOP’s mascot—huddling together during an earthquake at the San Diego Zoo. “It’s a powerful symbol of unity,” she declared, oblivious to the fact that she was accidentally praising Republican solidarity. The crowd’s confused silence said it all.
Harris then rolled out her “dream team” of so-called moral leaders: Cory Booker (theatrical filibuster enthusiast), Chris Van Hollen (MS-13 apologist), Chris Murphy (brow-furrowing professional), Jasmine Crockett (disabled governor-mocker), Maxwell Frost (Gen-Z’s answer to “Why?”), AOC (volume-over-substance specialist), and Bernie Sanders (the guy who thinks Venezuela is a model economy). This isn’t a leadership bench—it’s a lineup of the most radical, out-of-touch figures in modern politics.
Predictably, the usual suspects in the liberal press tried to gaslight the public into believing Harris’ speech was “powerful” and “presidential.” CNN’s Don Lemon called it “a bold vision for America,” while The New York Times praised her “commanding presence.” But the American people aren’t fooled. They see what the media refuses to admit: Harris is a liability, and her party is doubling down on failure.
While Democrats flounder, President Donald Trump continues to dominate polls, drawing record crowds and outlining a clear America First agenda. His speeches are sharp, unscripted, and packed with real solutions—border security, economic revival, and restoring American strength. Meanwhile, Harris and Biden offer nothing but empty rhetoric and radical policies that have already failed.
