Harris has lost her mind. She can’t take the fact that she lost.
Now she went completely off the rails during her word salad speech.
Kamala Harris’ Confusing Comeback: A Speech Riddled with Incoherence
Once a prominent figure in the Biden administration, Kamala Harris has resurfaced after months of political silence, attempting to rally progressives with a speech that quickly unraveled into a bewildering tangent about elephants.
Speaking at Emerge’s 20th anniversary gala in San Francisco, the former vice president took aim at President Trump but struggled to maintain a coherent narrative, resorting to her characteristic word salads and cackles.
“A lot of folks are wondering what’s going to guide us through this moment. How are we all going to figure out how to chart the course?” Harris said, before veering off-topic. “Please allow me, friends, to digress for a moment.”
“OK, it’s kind of dark in here, but I’m ask[ing] for a show of hands — who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago, the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake? Google it if you’ve not seen it,” she said with a cackle. Harris went on to describe how the elephants “felt the earth shaking beneath their feet” and “got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable.”
“What a powerful metaphor,” she claimed, attempting to tie the anecdote to political unity. Yet the detour only underscored her tendency to lose focus, leaving attendees puzzled as she meandered through a speech meant to critique Trump’s presidency.
Hypocrisy and Hyperbole: Harris’ Attacks on Trump Fall Flat
Harris painted a grim picture of America under Trump, accusing him of sparking “the greatest manmade economic crisis in modern presidential history” and orchestrating a “wholesale abandonment” of American values. Her rhetoric, laced with apocalyptic warnings, seemed designed to inflame rather than inspire.
“Americans across the political spectrum who are declaring that the president’s reckless tariffs hurt workers and families by raising the cost of everyday essentials, devastate the retirement accounts that people spent a lifetime paying into, and paralyze American businesses, large and small,” Harris said.
Yet her claims conveniently ignored the economic pressures inherited from her own administration, including persistent inflation and supply chain woes that plagued the Biden-Harris years.
She further accused Trump of flouting presidential norms, warning of a looming constitutional crisis. “We here know that when the checks and balances ultimately collapse, if Congress fails to do its part, or if the courts fail to do their part, or if both do their part but the president defies them anyway … that is called a constitutional crisis,” she lamented. Critics, however, might argue that Harris’ own tenure as vice president saw plenty of executive overreach, casting her as an inconsistent messenger.
Harris also took aim at Trump’s immigration policies, specifically referencing the deportation of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. “It is not OK to violate court orders,” she said.
“It is not OK to detain or disappear American citizens or anyone without due process.” Her selective outrage, however, glosses over the Biden-Harris administration’s own struggles with border security and immigration enforcement, which many argue emboldened criminal elements.
A Fading Star Clings to Relevance
After her 2024 election loss, Harris has kept a low profile, with speculation swirling about her next move—perhaps a run for California governor in 2026 or another presidential bid in 2028. Her speech offered no clarity on her plans, instead serving as a platform for vague calls to action and recycled progressive talking points.
“I am not here tonight to offer all the answers, but I am here to say this: Things are probably going to get worse before they get better,” she proclaimed. “But we are ready for it. We are not going to scatter.” The rallying cry felt hollow, delivered by a figure whose political star has dimmed amid criticism of her ineffectiveness as vice president.
Harris’ attempt to reassert herself as a progressive leader fell short, overshadowed by her disjointed delivery and questionable priorities. As she decried Trump’s crackdown on universities as “unconstitutional demands that threaten the pursuit of truth and academic independence,” one couldn’t help but wonder if her focus on viral animal videos and exaggerated crises reflects a disconnect from the issues Americans care about most. For now, Harris’ comeback seems more like a stumble, leaving her audience—and the nation—questioning her relevance.
