Stop her if you’ve heard this one before: Vice President Kamala Harris’ latest redundant word salad harkened back to a classic that could still stun.
“She actually said this.”
(Video: C-SPAN)
The underwhelming results of an oversold promise, Bidenomics couldn’t ask for a more fitting spokesperson than Harris. Friday she touted the latest jobs report as a sign that “Bidenomics is working” with the rollout of a small-business investment that, if nothing else, demonstrated an apparent fondness for the word “community.”
Introducing the plan to make $125 million available through picking winners and losers while speaking in Washington, D.C., the vice president said, “And so for years we have worked to expand investment in community banks because, you see, community banks specialize in providing loans and financial assistance to small business owners, in particular those in overlooked and underserved communities, including rural communities.”
“And as the name suggests,” she explained instilling confidence that she remained one heartbeat away from the highest office in the land, “community banks are in the community.”
Wow! Community banks are in the community. She’s a real ball of fire!

Rest assured, Harris’ “pearls of wisdom” didn’t end there as she had some thoughts to consider on understanding and capacity while working her way towards saying community for the twelfth time overall. “They understand the needs of the people they serve. They understand the capacity and the opportunity such as the capacity and the opportunity of this community that big banks often overlook or just don’t get.”
Another pearl of wisdom from our fearless VP https://t.co/ieGJE0fwf4

Once she starts in with the hand gestures, things are about to get loopy …
Water is wet … because it’s water! Mkay? When we think about water’s wetness, we must think in terms of how that wetness affects us all. Only then can we appreciate just how wet water truly is …

“In order to state the obvious, something must be obvious. And it bears repeating, that in order to repeat the obvious, that you have to say the obvious, at least two or more times.”

Much like her avowed adoration for Venn diagrams and her deeply held passion for yellow school buses, the vice president’s favor for community banks hasn’t been something she’s kept to herself.
In fact, Friday’s remarks were strikingly similar to comments she had made in Sept. 2022 during a roundtable discussion at South Carolina’s Clafin University.
At the time, she had said, “We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks, because we know community banks are in the community, and understand the needs and desires of that community as wells as the talent and capacity of community.”
She even reminded those gathered of that detail when she said, “And so, building on the work that, as you heard, I led as the United States senator and since taking office, President Biden and I have invested nearly $12 billion in our community banks.”
Having said it before, (and likely on her way to say it again someday), along with her extensive record of circuitous statements that often say nothing at all, once leading then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson to liken the vice president to a “low-I.Q. wine mom,” one commenter simply reacted, “She actually said this.”
To top it off, Harris went ahead and had her own former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) moment as she had told the crowd moments earlier, “Go ahead and clap.”
