'Rhetorically challenged': Kamala Harris mocked over latest 'word salad' on Oprah

US Vice President Kamala Harris has been mocked online over her latest "word salad" response after being asked during a campaign event about her plan to lower the cost of living.

Vice President Harris participated in a live-streamed event called "Unite for America" in Michigan, a key battleground state, on Thursday hosted by Oprah Winfrey.

During the event, Harris responded to a question from a couple about how she would lower the cost of living if elected president.

"In terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American Dream is, for this generation & so many recently, far more elusive than it's been, and we need to deal with that," she said.

"And there are a number of ways. One is bringing down the cost of everyday necessities, including groceries."

Harris's response was slammed by critics on social media as her latest "word salad".

"Kamala word salad alert," one user wrote on X.

"She's rhetorically challenged," another user wrote.

The event was hosted by Oprah and featured a star-studded virtual line-up, including Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ben Stiller, and Bryan Cranston.

Some of the celebrities made appearances and spoke before Harris took the stage.

The event is part of Harris's Democratic presidential campaign efforts to rally support ahead of the election.

Guys it's really not her fault.
Remember she grew up in a middle class family, went to school in a yellow school bus as one of the children of the community, then fell out of a coconut tree, and now is being unburdened by what has been.

Lest I forget to add, in the community everyone loved their lawns and venn diagrams!

Thanks Oprah for interview. The more she talks, the more we vote TRUMP 2024

[JeffreyBell-wicc]

This lady is unfit for the office she holds and the one she seeks.

[Blackfender]

Thank you, Oprah, for exposing Kamala as a brainless and clueless presidential candidate...Trump 2024

[michaelpolty]

She's got nothing for America. That is what the world sees.

[mikemdk]

I didn't think it could get worse than biden, but her becoming president really would set a new low

[nicknatuzzi]

The look of horror on her face when she first heard the question will forever be priceless!!! 👏💯🤣

Harris can not perform in the most softball interviews.
How can people expect her to perform under pressure in the TOP job.
Americans, please elect a leader and not someone like Harris

[edross]

Oprah tried to speak in her defense so many times. She got nationally exposed. I would not be saying this if she were a competent presidential candidate like Bernie Sanders, per se. But even if I weren't a Republican, why should I vote for somebody this incompetent? We are living in hard times, and the world needs a leader, not a puppet.

Journalist: what is 2+2 equals?
Kamala: so I grew up in an indian house where mathematics was very important. My grandma taught me the maths. So I am aware of what the concept of addition is. And for that I will make sure to add numbers so that numbers are added.

If you want America to get bombed by an enemy, vote for her. I am legitimately scared of the election outcome right now

[lyndaoneill]

This woman babbles on and says absolutely nothing

[lynneevans]

America wake up ! You can't have this woman has your president.

My grocery bill is still going up. I can’t even imagine how much higher it would be 4 years from now if Kamala gets voted in. She’s had almost 4 years and done nothing but flush our country down the toilet. We NEED Trump in to drain the cesspool and MAGA!!
It is so important to vote Trump!!!

[D.VA_]

No amount of star power is going to convince me to vote blindly while I’m struggling to pay my home and food expenses. Celebrities don’t struggle like the common person.

[jking]

Kamala had 3 1/2 years, so stop blaming Trump for your failures. Voting for President Trump!!!❤

[workingman-xlxh]

Harris lived in the nicest neighborhood in Canada, her parents were PhDs. She is not from Oakland, CA but from Berkely, CA, and never worked at McDonalds. She was NEVER middle class.

[oscarmadison]

She is in way over her head and her handlers know it; she is lost without them.

[concerned]

Huh? She can’t be serious. my 3 year old granddaughter makes more sense when speaking.

[michaelramirez]

Let’s not forget Opra & the Maui incident. And Kamala can’t even answer a simple question.
