Kamala Harris delivers ‘patronising, cringeworthy’ space speech

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a “patronising” and “cringeworthy” speech at the Vandenberg Space Force Base, Sky News host Rita Panahi says.

“Space is exciting. It spurs our imaginations, and it forces us to ask big questions. Space – it affects us all, and it connects us all,” Ms Harris said.

Ms Panahi compared Ms Harris’ remarks to former president Donald Trump’s address to the US Space Force.

“Space is the world’s newest warfighting domain,” he said.

“Amid grave threats to our national security, American superiority in space is absolutely vital.”

Ms Panahi said the sitting vice president has a track record of speaking about the “wonders of space”, pointing to a “totally authentic Kamala” and a “bunch of bewildered child actors late last year”.

“And gosh weren't those kids in for a treat when Kamala started talking about her love of craters – no, really,” Ms Panahi said.

“Those craters get us all going.”

every person who voted for this owes the entire world a heartfelt and sincere apology

[awc]

The only good thing is that in space, no one can hear her laugh!

[natechenry]

The whole administration is cringeworthy

[timothycole]

My God... We are SUCH a Laughingstock!.😬

[lukaduka]

I love these Australian commentators. Y’all are so funny and intelligent. Thank you for speaking out.

Harris always sounds like she's addressing 5 year olds. Not the way to address the bunch of PhD folks who work for places like that!

[Thomas-xece]

Harris truly is the queen of cringe. It's literally painful to listen to her speak.

[deadon]

Yes, it does make us think "How stupid our VP really is!" This is pathetic! "Thank You Democrats!!! We have a stupid Vice President and an incompetent President. Everyone who voted for Biden and Harris needs to apologize for voting for them. I didn't vote for them and I'm embarrassed.

Her speech, It was like watching a three-year-old just coming out of the space Observatory, and full of ideas.

[AlienApe]

This is what you get when you hire diversity over meritocracy.

[charliehay]

I can't understand why we as Americans allow
this coup to continue...it's only going to get worse

[josephtalmadge]

There's absolutely no way Joe has an approval rating of 33% not with what our country has endured

[bon]

If she was Republican, she would have been absolutely SHREDDED for this speech. SNL would have an entire episode dedicated to this speech.

[BIGNICKELL]

She approved or wrote that speech and you can tell by her reaction to certain parts that she is really impressed with it.

[thornbird]

When are they going to keep her quiet ? This is clearly not working !

[DOWNUNDER.]

Great speech for ten year olds, not so much for scientists and university educated defence personnel

[shirleybench]

Those people behind her have more knowledge and smarts in their little finger than she has or ever will have...goodness!

[mikegeorge]

There she goes, talking to the 3 year olds in the military

[warbaby]

the most diverse administration ever.
Can't imagine what went wrong!

[RangerCaptainA]

space is so spacious -- it reminds me of the significance of the passage of time!
