'Word Salad': Kamala Harris Ripped for Defending Biden's Gaffe on Midterm Election Illegitimacy

Conservative News DailyJanuary 20, 2022

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday was ripped on Twitter for defending President Biden’s comments that cast doubt on the 2022 midterms.

“I’m not going to say it’s going to be legit,” Biden said Wednesday about the election. “It’s — the increase and the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these — these reforms passed.”

When Harris was questioned about Biden undermining election comments, she tried to ignore the question multiple times, unable to say whether the 2022 midterms would be legitimate or not.

“Is President Biden really concerned that we may not have free and fair elections,” NBC’s Savannah Guthrie asked.

“The president has been consistent on this issue and the issue at hand,” Harris promised, telling Guthrie not to conflate issues.

“Let’s not conflate issues. What we are looking at and the topic of so much debate last night was that we as America cannot afford to allow this blatant erosion of our democracy,” Harris continued.

Those on Twitter noticed Harris’s difficulty in answering Guthrie and slammed Harris for another poor press appearance:

So that’s a yes. White House doubling down on its dangerous lie that 2022 midterms are ALREADY illegitimate https://t.co/3WhFo5AKp2

Harris’s answers here are deflective and defensive. The press conference was profoundly bad, the fallout is worse (Russia greenlight on Ukraine, evidence-free GOP changing vote total claim as starters)… https://t.co/6rrSKw6uxi

Amidst all her blather was this

Biden said & she affirmed
That because some states are ensuring only legal votes are allowed

Our elections are not legitimate
WOW! https://t.co/UKmFlRPY6z

Amazing clip.

She worries – twice – about the “erosion of our democracy” even as she contributes to it, pretending the 2022 elections will not be legitimate b/c partisan Democratic voting reforms didn’t pass a Democrat-led senate.

So irresponsible. https://t.co/7DBwqK3mRG

If Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were Republicans Savannah Guthrie would be calling them insurrectionists for questioning the legitimacy of our elections. https://t.co/AnjExFJJ6P

This is giving me serious “I wouldn’t trust a Trump vaccine” vibes. It’s a thoughtless statement that fuels our deepest divide based purely on partisan politics & will be echoed for years to come https://t.co/kSV8dv1V8n

In the run up to the midterms the Democrats’ new position seems to be that there will not be free and fair elections unless their latest voting rights bills are passed. For a party that rightly denounced Trump for undermining trust in our democracy, this is a deeply cynical move. https://t.co/oMnPUv2xH2

Almost 3 min of not answering a simple question, from a friendly journalist.

The worst Vice President in my lifetime, hands down. https://t.co/QG7kGeZdLf
