Vice President Kamala Harris is at it again with one of her mesmerizing word salads on the marvels of the world around her — or should we say electrifying?
Speaking at a transmission line groundbreaking event in Tonopah, Arizona, Harris regaled the audience with a story of when she was a child and the family would take road trips.
“I remember sitting in the backseat of my mother’s Dodge Dart — it was yellow; she let us pick out the color,” she said, with a laugh. “And we’d be sitting in the backseat, me and my sister, and trying to, you know, figure out how to occupy the time. I’ll date myself by saying sometimes we would occupy the time by counting how many VW Bugs that we saw drive by.”
“But also, sometimes, just looking out the window. And I remember watching the miles and miles of electric wires flash by the window. And it was — it was kind of mesmerizing to just see those lines as we were driving the roads. And those wires, they seemed endless,” she explained, in that nasally voice that can make one’s skin crawl.
“Well, let’s think about it. Today, America has more than half a million miles of transmission lines. Enough to wrap around the globe 24 times. These lines connect the power plants, where electricity is created, to homes and businesses and schools and hospitals across our nation,” the vice president continued. “Think about it: Every time you turn on a light or charge your laptop or plug in your air conditioner or put leftovers in the fridge, you rely on the power delivered by our nation’s network of transmission lines.”
And there you have it, how electricity works coming from the mouth of the individual one 80-year-old heartbeat away from the White House.
Social media users had a field day mocking Harris for her latest oratory offering… here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:
