Vice President Kamala Harris clearly has a problem with being comfortable in her own skin. For the second time in less than six months she managed to embarrass her country. She hosted Mongolian Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai at the White House.
Mongolia has strategic importance to the U.S. due to its rich deposits of rare Earth metals that are sorely needed by U.S. defense and commercial enterprises. Harris attempted to discuss closer defense relations with that country in the area of space exploration.
Instead of putting herself forward as the nation’s second most important diplomat she managed to turn the episode into a very Kamalaesque word salad that repeated the words “space cooperation” three times in about a minute.
“Today, I am pleased to announce that the next steps in our work together will be about further expanding our partnership. In particular, we will discuss the work that we will do together to strengthen our space cooperation,” Harris told the prime minister. “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.”
Harris claimed that “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.”
Kamala Harris Mocked for her ‘Gibberish’
Once again, Harris received ridicule on Twitter for her poor command of the English language during the speech.
She speaks English worse than the guy from Mongolia. @KamalaHarris repeats the phrase ‘our space cooperation’ three times in less than 30 seconds.”
A third person said, “I can see why Biden picked you … you both speak the same brand of gibberish.”
Harris’s Past Diplomatic Faux Pas
During her trip to Ghana in March, she managed to find herself embarrassed by that country’s president when she expounded on LGBT rights only to be slapped down by its parliamentary speaker.
Ghana’s Parliament Speaker Alban Bagbin rebuked her saying, “What Kamala Harris do…we no for tolerate dis things, that be undemocratic… That someone go dictate to me what be good and what be bad?”
When it came to China, Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo ridiculed her to her face during a joint appearance in that country’s capital of Accra.
“There may be an obsession in America about Chinese activities on the African continent, but there’s no such obsession here,” Akufo-Addo said.
Harris managed to embarrass herself last year when she proclaimed that the U.S. had an alliance with the “Republic of North Korea” during a tour of the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas.
“Diplomacy is back, baby,” former US diplomat Alberto Miguel Fernandez mocked her on Twitter saying. “Evidently we switched sides in Korea under the Biden Administration and nobody told us. Unlike her boss, she can’t claim advanced old age as a defense.”
Gabbard: Harris Would Be ‘Dangerous’
Harris’s former rival for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 called her level of competence in her job “dangerous.”
“She will be manipulated by the military-industrial complex, by people who have a lot of stars on their shoulders from the Pentagon, who would like to see us continue to be in a state of war, for a number of reasons rather than to pursue peace and diplomacy,” Gabbard added. “She would, as we’ve seen with others in the past, she would feel as though she needs to project strength. It’s the most dangerous thing to have a weak person feel like they need to project strength and have the U.S. military at their fingertips to do that.”
