Kamala Harris, the US vice president, released an emotional video addressing her supporters but her critics said she looked dishevelled.
A video released by Kamala Harris, the US vice-president who recently lost the US presidential race to Donald Trump, has set off a new controversy, with some even calling her a ‘functioning alcoholic’.
“I know this is an uncertain time. I’m clear-eyed about that. I know you’re clear-eyed about it, and it feels heavy,” Kamala said in her first speech after her Howard University concession speech.
“I just have to remind you, don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you. You have the same power that you did before November 5th, and you have the same purpose that you did, and you have the same ability to engage and inspire,” she further added, in a bid to reach out to Democrat supporters who find themselves distraught due to her defeat.
“Because of your efforts, we raised an historic 1.4 billion dollars from grassroots supporters alone,” she said.
Republicans and Kamala-critics were quick to pan the veep and said she sounded incoherent and some questioned if she was drunk.
“The dial-up modem sound played on an infinite loop is more bearable than 28 seconds of whatever this is,” North Carolina US House of Representatives member Virginia Foxx said. “I’d read a 5,000 word article on how this got approved for release,” a Trump aide commented on social media.
“No video like this would ever have been released by a politician who is not hated by her staff,” Dan McLaughlin, a writer for National Review, commented.
“Kamala Harris appears to be a functioning alcoholic who almost became President of America. Meanwhile America is about to give another $24,000,000,000 to a barely functioning Cocaine Addict who’s in charge of Ukraine. Absolute clown world,” wrote a user.
