Kamala’s Latest Word Salad, Translated

CLAY: We talk for a living, Buck. Sometimes we say things that don’t sound great. But I don’t think either of us have been anywhere near as bad as our vice president, Kamala Harris, virtually every time she opens her mouth. She was talking about Jamaica and covid. If you haven’t heard this yet, here is the latest, Kamala doing…

And the way to think about this is, if you’ve ever been a kid who was trying to write a paper in high school or middle school — and you didn’t read the book and you have no real idea what you’re talking about and you’re attempting to try to get your word count up because it’s a minimum of a thousand words or it’s a minimum of 750 words — Kamala Harris sounds like that in virtually every public event.

Here she is talking about covid in Jamaica.

BUCK: She has an unbelievable gift of speaking without the actually saying anything. It’s really hard to do, actually. It’s hard to have so many words come out and then you say, wait. But what exactly? All of what she said there I think, Clay, you could have fit that into a sentence, and I mean like a 20-word sentence.

CLAY: You could easily… Here is distilling what Kamala just said: Jamaica has had many issues with covid. It has impacted their economy and we’re doing our best to help them.

BUCK: Yes.

CLAY: That is what she was attempting to say — and again, I’m not reading off a script. I don’t have a staff of probably a hundred people who are trying to assist me. She really, Buck, it seems to me doesn’t do any homework and so isn’t prepared for any of the public events she’s going to do, which is why she has so much fill. You can agree or disagree with what you or I say. We read all day long every day.

BUCK: All day long every day.

CLAY: It requires a lot of prep to be able to synthesize anything in terms of these stories. She doesn’t do it.

BUCK: It’s almost like there’s a reason the Democrat primary electorate rejected her as a candidate. But anyway…

CLAY: And why they’re gonna reject her if she runs in 2024.
