Kamala Harris is at it again, delivering what can only be described as another one of her infamous “word salad” speeches. This time, it happened during an interview in Michigan alongside Oprah Winfrey.You’d think with such a high-profile event, the Vice President would bring her A-game, right? Well, think again.
The whole thing started when a young couple from Pennsylvania asked Harris a simple, yet crucial question about rising everyday expenses. Now, you’d expect a straightforward answer, maybe some concrete policy details. Instead, what they got was classic Kamala. She tried to empathize, beginning with, “Yours is a story I hear around the country,” and then meandered into a bafflingly circular response about the American dream being “far more elusive” for this generation. Her words sounded like a blender on high speed, mixing up vague promises about looking into price gouging and tax credits for first-time homebuyers.
The MAGA crowd, never ones to miss an opportunity, immediately pounced. Social media lit up with “word salad” alerts, complete with salad emojis. Republican communicator Matt Whitlock and campaign advisor Link Lauren were quick to point out the chaos on X (formerly Twitter). “Word salad level 5000,” wrote Lauren, summing up what many were thinking. Even “Insurrection Barbie” chimed in, sarcastically pleading for Harris to “lie at least” or give some coherent answer instead of making viewers suffer through more rhetorical gymnastics.

Speechless. I am speechless. She can’t learn one answer to how she will lower costs, just lie at least. Something other than this word salad. This is so painful to watch.
“How will you lower the cost of living? “
“By bringing down the cost of everything.”

Republican Senator Eric Schmitt summed up the reaction best: “Kamala’s Excellent Adventure continues.” He called the performance an “epic word salad,” a sentiment echoed by countless others online. X user Kate Hyde shared the video, calling it “the most spectacular two minutes of Kamala’s nonsensical wisdom.”
Kamala’s Excellent Adventure continues.
An epic word salad. The media truly should be ashamed of itself at this point. She’s running for President of the United States of America and all we get are scripted comments or Non-sequiturs with Oprah pic.twitter.com/chL19TrJ22

It’s moments like this that make you wonder: Does Harris even *have* a clear message? Or is she just counting on empty platitudes and Oprah’s star power to carry her through? Because at this rate, the only thing her speeches are delivering is confusion—seasoned with a dash of cringe.
