The 9 most terrifying words: "I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."

She can find a funeral but she can't find the border.

I feel bad that this family not only has to endure this tragedy, but is also being used as another political pawn! Shameful!

[Camelfacekamala]

She finally crawled out of the cave again…. The timing is spot on 😂

May Tyre RIP. But really, VP Harris at this funeral? I wonder how many military funerals she has attended or Police that were killed in the line of duty? She is the worst example of leadership this country has ever had.

I love how she uses the black accent while she speaks to black people lol

[benitosalazar]

Can anyone remember the last time Harris attended the funeral of a fallen officer or service member?

[stevefadrosh]

At least she didn't call him Tyre Kirby. These politicians don't give AF about us.

Sad to see Sharpton using this young man's death to bring up his book, TV show and try to further his career

[shannonlawsonnashville]

Man, she looks like she practiced this a LOT
That poor man shouldnt just be a publicity stunt.
She said absolutely nothing of value

[randyasuarez]

Politics at its finest. Need that vote.

[elainevankat]

Surprised she was able to hold back... from laughing!!!

[sillywabbit]

Things are only getting worse under this administration

[senorspicyboi]

I feel for the family of Tyre Nichols, but I hate that our vice president just took the opportunity to plug a bill that her party wants so desperately to be passed. Funerals and national tragedies can't even be partisan now.

Imagine allowing your family member's funeral to be a campaign speech for some politician.

The phrase "standing on corpses" comes to mind, and this is about as close to that as it gets without her literally giving this speech from on top of his coffin

[hellooutthere]

They are ignoring the real reason this man was killed. There are those who say this was a hit.

[einsteinalb]

Having her there is an insult to the family. It's nothing but a photo op for a power grab or to hijack another senseless killing. RIP Tyre.

[adamfowler]

Whoever invited her disrespected this family the most

[superoldgamesaturday]

How dare you exploit a grieving family like this?

Wonder if ABC will report on one of their reporters getting arrested for child porn, just wondering.
