Yet again, our vice president has proven that while she is a woman of many words, no one ever knows what she’s talking about.
Vice President Kamala Harris held a summit at the White House on Wednesday with the Prime Minister of Mongolia, Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai, where the pair were supposed to talk about tourism, space exploration, and mineral trade – but if the following clip is any indication, I doubt the summit helped resolve any of those issues.
“In particular, we will discuss the work we will do together to strengthen our space cooperation,” Harris began. “You and I spoke briefly about the beginning of the next era, and for you, what that means in terms of your leadership and your vision for the future, and certainly strengthening our space cooperation would be a part of that agenda, including, of course, using our space cooperation to think about how we strengthen the economic prosperity and development of our nations.”

“Space cooperation” sounds sophisticated enough to appeal to Trekkies, but what exactly did Harris mean by that? Why did she repeat the phrase three times in less than a minute? No one has any idea.

Twitter user Crystal Lake took pity on the Mongolian prime minister, tweeting, “The poor man looked confused. He’s probably thinking they did not cover this in English class. He could relax. I didn’t understand it either[.]”
“[T]hat wasn’t even worth turning the sound on for,” user Annette Binford wrote.
“This is the issue of her being chosen for visual optics,” another tweeted. “There are millions of highly intelligent, hard working, accountable, good black and brown women who could be standing at that podium on merit, but we got Kammie.”
