Kamala Harris rambles about Doritos at AI conference, reminding America of the word-salad bullet we dodged in 2024.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered yet another verbal catastrophe at an AI conference in Las Vegas, managing to connect her desperate late-night Doritos cravings to artificial intelligence before careening into affordable housing policy. Critics quickly pounced on her disjointed monologue as the latest example of Harris’s notorious “word salad” communication style. The speech serves as a painful reminder of Harris’s tendency to meander through talking points without a coherent destination, reinforcing the view that Americans narrowly escaped having this communication style represent them on the world stage.
The Doritos Defense: Harris’s Bizarre AI Conference Tangent
Just when you thought Kamala Harris might fade mercifully into the background of American politics, she returns with another prime example of why communication skills should be a prerequisite for high office. Speaking at the HumanX conference in Las Vegas, Harris attempted to relate to everyday Americans by sharing her experience using DoorDash to satisfy a Doritos craving before the Oscars. Apparently, in Kamala’s world, this constitutes profound insight into artificial intelligence technology and consumer expectations.
The painfully awkward anecdote quickly spiraled into a rambling discourse that somehow veered from convenience apps to affordable housing without any logical connection between topics. It’s as if someone handed her a stack of index cards on various policy issues, shuffled them thoroughly, and then dared her to make it all sound coherent. Spoiler alert: the mission failed spectacularly, leaving audience members and social media viewers equally bewildered.
Word Salad with a Side of Cringe
Harris’s meandering speech style has become her unfortunate trademark. What makes this particular incident so noteworthy is that she was speaking at an artificial intelligence conference – a forum dedicated to cutting-edge technology that requires precise, logical thinking. The irony wasn’t lost on viewers who quickly pointed out that even the most basic AI chatbot could likely construct more coherent sentences about technology and consumer needs than the former Vice President managed to deliver.
“Every time you hear Kamala Harris talk, you think it’s not real,” one commenter said. “Yet somehow, it’s real and it is exactly as bad as it actually is. We dodged a massive bullet in 2024.”
What’s particularly bewildering is that this wasn’t an impromptu response to a challenging question. This was a prepared speech at a major conference. One would think that with preparation time, speech writers, and practice runs, someone on her team might have suggested sticking to a single coherent theme rather than bouncing between Doritos cravings and housing policy like a pinball machine with a short circuit.
The DEI Vice President
Harris’s latest verbal misadventure reinforces what many Americans suspected throughout her vice presidency – that she was selected primarily for her demographic characteristics rather than her competence, intelligence, or communication skills. The Biden administration needed to check certain identity boxes, and Harris conveniently fit the bill. The result was a vice president who consistently seemed out of her depth when tasked with explaining complex issues or representing American interests.
“The Democrat Party can’t be happy that Kamala Harris keeps talking in public,” another observed.”
It’s little wonder that Democrats quietly sidelined Harris during critical moments of the Biden presidency. When significant policy initiatives needed explaining or delicate diplomatic situations required finesse, Harris was conspicuously absent or relegated to ceremonial roles. Her penchant for word salads and bizarre tangents made her a liability in situations requiring clarity and precision – which, unfortunately for the administration, described most vice-presidential duties.
America’s Narrow Escape
After watching Harris’s Doritos dissertation, Americans can breathe a collective sigh of relief knowing that this communication style won’t be representing our nation on the world stage for the next four years. In an era of complex global challenges and fierce international competition, the last thing America needs is a leader whose explanations of critical policy leave listeners more confused than informed. The stakes are simply too high for word salads to substitute for clear, decisive leadership.
Harris’s political future remains uncertain, but one thing is abundantly clear: her communication challenges aren’t improving with time or experience. If anything, the freedom from the constraints of office seems to have emboldened her to embrace the rambling, disconnected speaking style that became a liability during her vice presidency. For Democrats hoping to rebuild after November’s losses, each new Harris word salad serves as a painful reminder of the party’s recent missteps in leadership selection.
