The latest hiccup came Monday as Harris spoke at an event meant to prop up the administration’s environmental agenda. The short speech quickly birthed another viral clip of the veep making virtually no sense.
A bit of context: The clip came during a portion of the speech where Harris looked toward a future where investments in infrastructure (well, heavily air-quoted “infrastructure,” at the very least) produced massive returns in green technology.
“Imagine a future: The freight trucks that deliver bread and milk to our grocery store shelves and the buses that take children to school and parents to work; imagine all the heavy-duty vehicles that keep our supply lines strong and allow our economy to grow — imagine that they produced zero emissions,” Harris said.
Yes, sing it with me — imagine all the people, living for tod~ay~ay~ay. You may say Kamala’s a dreamer, but she’s not the only one. Last April, President Biden used a similarly Lennonesque construction when talking about how his massive spending package could create a plane that would “travel 21,000 miles an hour,” roughly Mach 27.
That’s farcical on its face, of course. But try to take the next two sentences out of the veep’s mouth with a straight face:
KAMALA: “We have the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what has been. And then to make the possible actually happen.” pic.twitter.com/npI1uVzg7J

“Well, you all imagined it,” she told the assemblage. “That’s why we’re here today — because we have the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what has been, and then to make the possible actually happen.”
I feel like we’ve gone from John Lennon to an intoxicated Willy Wonka: “Come with me / and you’ll see / a shot of pure imagination / unburdened by what has been / then to make the possible actually happen.”
Sure, the words hang together, strictly speaking, but they’re so vague they effectively mean nothing. And they prove, once again, why Americans can’t trust anything Kamala Harris says.
