Kamala Harris’ Trip Has Embarrassing Start: ‘I Am Here. Standing … Here …’
Vice President Kamala Harris has had quite the week — and not in a good way.
During a speech in Warsaw, Poland, Harris attempted to start strong and talk about the significance of her trip amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Instead, she appeared to become confused about where she actually was.
“I am here, standing here on the northern flank, on the eastern flank, talking about what we have in terms of the eastern flank and our NATO allies, and what is at stake at this very moment,” she said while checking her notes.
This was not even Harris’ only flub this week.
The former press secretary to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a fan of Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a tweet that has since been deleted, Iuliia Mendel wrote on Twitter that it would be a “tragedy” if Harris ever became president.
“It would be a tragedy if this woman won the presidency,” Mendel wrote on Twitter following Harris’ Thursday press conference alongside Polish President Andrzej Duda addressing the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Below is a screenshot of Mendel’s now-deleted tweet:
Mendel’s tweet was directed at a video posted by another user showing Harris awkwardly laughing following a question from a reporter about Ukrainian refugees.
Harris oddly laughed when she asked if the United States planned on making space for Ukrainian refugees as she met with foreign leaders in Poland to discuss the ongoing Russian invasion.
Both Harris and Poland’s President Andrzej Duda were asked about whether the U.S. would be accepting a greater number of Ukrainian refugees, with the VP giggling awkwardly before Duda actually took the time to answer what was a serious question, given that many of the 2 million Ukrainians who have fled the fighting are currently in his country.
“A friend in need is a friend indeed,” Harris said with a smile before a more somber Duda said he had asked the U.S. vice president to help speed up the process for Ukrainian refugees with family in the U.S. to be able to head to America.
“We are looking for international support because indeed the vast majority of Ukrainian refugees are coming to our country,” Duda said, though Harris did not commit the U.S. to take in a certain number of Ukrainians trying to escape the war.
That said, Harris did note that Ukrainians who are currently in the United States and may have visas that are set to expire soon could remain in America for the time being.
“We will not send them back tow hat is a war zone,” she said.
She also committed the Biden administration to assist Poland.
“As we have said many times through our work collectively in the UN through NATO, we will support Poland in terms of the burden it is facing and our collective responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of these refugees,” Harris said.
Many on social media slammed Harris over her response:
