A video of former Vice President Kamala Harris delivering a word salad speech, her specialty, is going viral on social media, with a number of comments from users absolutely obliterating her over how incoherent and scattered she sounds, noting that the American people dodged a bullet by choosing to elect Donald Trump to a second term in the White House.
Harris opens up the speech by talking about the Little Rock Nine, a group of black students who integrated Little Rock Central High School back in 1957 in a stand against the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education ruling. At the time of the incident, Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus deployed National Guard troops to block the students’ entry into the school.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower then intervened, federalizing the guard and sending the 101st Airborne Division to ensure the safety of the Little Rock Nine. “Those heroes, who were those students, the Little Rock Nine, and I, you know, I was just up in that high school, and I didn’t realize how large it was,” Harris rambled.
“And I stood there, and I can just imagine these young people, these children, walking that span, from that stop sign all the way and up those steps. And with the anger and resentment that they were facing. And we have to remember though that these fights are for something. They’re not against something,” Harris continued, switching up tracks so fast that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with her train of thought, if one even exists.
“They’re for something,” she said a second time. “And they’re born out of our beliefs and foundational ideals. These fights are born out of loving our country and believing in those ideals, and then knowing it takes work to reach those ideals, right? And so that’s part of our history and part of our present, and it will always be.”
“America will always be strong in our willingness as the people to fight for our foundational ideals. And I know the people are strong. And when I look at our young leaders, I know we’re going to be okay. We know what we got to do. Listen, we know what we stand for, so we know what to fight for,” she said at the conclusion of the clip.
One user on X roasted Harris for the choppy ramble by mocking her famous saying, “what can be, unburdened by what has been,” by posting a meme of the former vice president with the phrase “unbourboned by what has gin,” a reference to the theory that Harris is a big drinker.

Another person wrote, “If this woman ever took the time to watch her own sound bite clips she would disappear from the public eye. She is always the least interesting person in the room, it’s f***in’ excruciating to listen to her babbling incoherence. Kamala thinks it’s so powerful to constantly express fighting!!”
“Imagine the creators of the Constitution seeing that this thing actually ran for President. Absolutely mind blowing,” someone else replied to the clip. “She’s rocking the Dr. Evil Hillary pantsuit in barf brown,” another commented. “The question that should be asked…is she ever sober?” another user went on to post.
