Former Vice President Kamala Harris sparked mockery online after she made a “word salad”-style statement about the nature of “community” while speaking to firefighters in California.
After her term as vice president ended Monday, Harris visited the Los Angeles Fire Department in Altadena and spoke to the media.
“Like I said to these brave and extraordinary firefighters, you know moments of crisis truly revealing the heroes among us,” she said. We went to World Central Kitchen. I mean, the volunteers who were there, some of them who have lost their own homes, are there caring for perfect strangers who, in the face of that stranger, see a neighbor.
She went on to say, “These are people who understand the power and value of community, bringing everyone together with a shared sense of purpose and identity as a community of people.”
