Kamala Harris has once again engaged in a ‘word salad’ – in which she tried to explain the meaning of ‘culture’.
Harris’s confusing comments came during the 2023 Essence Festival of Culture at the Caesars Superdome Friday, and serves as only the latest instance of the former San Francisco DA becoming tongue-tied during a public appearance.
Aside from falling flat with the New Orleans crowd, the statement sparked renewed criticism into Harris’s history of verbal gaffes.
That scrutiny was largely seen on social media – as Twitter users flocked to their keyboards to lambaste the 58-year-old Oakland native, with several expressing astonishment over her ’empty’ explanation.
That said, it’s not the first time Harris has been mocked for her strange choice of words.
In February, the vice president was relentlessly roasted for a ranting speech at an April pro-abortion rally.
In January she faced ridicule for yet another speech about Venn diagrams and school buses – a prevailing interest for the politician.
Kamala tried to define the word “culture” today…
And it went about as well as if a 9 year old had to give a book report on a book they didn’t read…

This time around, the internet was just as ruthless – with many equating Harris’s comments to that of an AI Chatbot.
Footage of the Friday flub – which came before performances from rappers like Lil Wayne and Megan Thee Stallion – showed her droning definition in full.
‘Culture is – it is a reflection of our moment and our time. Right?’ the Democrat said, while engaging in several of her trademark pauses.
She continued: ‘And present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment, and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment.
‘That is a reflection of joy. Because, you know,’ she added, before an audible pause and eventually breaking into laughter, ‘it comes in the morning.’
In another inexplicable comment, she added, ‘We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life. And I think about it in that way, too.’
Posts on social media from statement quickly left onlookers befuddled, spurring comments from actors, political commentators, comics – and even the odd YouTuber.
