Vice President Kamala Harris is once again in the spotlight for her public speaking—this time facing allegations that she was intoxicated while delivering a disjointed address to the cast and crew of A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical on Broadway.
Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, attended two Broadway productions over the weekend, watching A Wonderful World before later seeing Gypsy the New York Post reported. But it was her comments following the first show that have set social media ablaze.
While addressing the cast and crew, Harris struggled to string together coherent thoughts, delivering yet another infamous “word salad.”
“When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken but also let’s see it as you know, nature abhors a vacuum,” Harris said.
“So where some—where there’s a vacancy, then let’s fill it,” Harris continued. “But we have to, we have to be clear-eyed. And it doesn’t mean we don’t see the beauty in everything. Right? These things all coexist.”
The muddled remarks left many questioning whether Harris had been drinking before stepping up to the microphone. Video clips of the moment quickly went viral, with critics branding her a “drunk auntie” and a “functional alcoholic.”
Others speculated about Harris’s well-being, pointing out her frequent sniffing and erratic speaking style.
Whether the former Vice President was under the influence or simply delivering another one of her signature rambling speeches, her ability to turn even a simple message into a verbal labyrinth continues to baffle and amuse Americans.
