The crowd goes mild after leftist Vice President Kamala Harris tells another cringeworthy joke while giving a talk in front of students.
Speaking at the University of Michigan on Thursday, Harris discussed her love for electric school buses before telling her deadbeat joke.

“I’m excited about electric school buses. I LOVE electric school buses. I just love them! For so many reasons,” she said. “Maybe because I went to school on a school bus. Hey, raise your hand if you went to school on a school bus!”
The crowd was dead silent after she cracked her “school bus” joke. That’s when Kamala-Harris continued her speech, turning the weirdness up to 11 by talking about venn diagrams and the Western Hemisphere.
“I love Venn Diagrams. I do. I LOVE Venn Diagrams,” she said. “It is the Caribbean nations, island nations in the Western hemisphere. That is where the Caribbean is. We are also in the Western Hemisphere.”
Netizens were quick to point out Harris’ word salad once again, wondering if the vice president is capable of a non-cringe moment in her life.
“It’s amazing that this country isn’t actually in worse shape than it is with our two top leaders running the show!” one Twitter user wrote.
“This is the Vice President of the United States!” another one tweeted. “Let that sink in for a minute.”
It’s no surprise that the media isn’t covering her, despite her complaint last year about a lack of coverage for her so-called accomplishments.
Speaking to Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart in December, Harris claimed that she accomplished many things but that the media didn’t cover her as fairly as she would’ve liked.
“What you’ve been able to see is based on what gets covered. There are things that I’ve done as vice president that fully demonstrate the strength of my leadership as vice president that have not received the kind of coverage that I think the Dobbs decision did receive,” she said.
Capehart then blamed Harris’ lack of media coverage on her being a female as well as being a person of color.
“[T]he nation’s first Black female and first South Asian vice president have also had to contend with the negative reactions and low expectations that come with shattering ossified notions of who should be in the position,” he wrote.
But he later commended the vice president for having a “banner year,” characterized by “domestic barnstorming and high-wire diplomacy.”
