‘It’s shiny … can I touch it?’ Kamala tries to touch razor-sharp silicon during factory tour

Perhaps, the most effective strategy Donald Trump could employ in the 2024 presidential election is to let Kamala be Kamala.

Vice President Kamala Harris toured a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Michigan on Monday and was drawn to a “shiny” polysilicon rod, reaching out to touch it as the factory worker leading the Hemlock Semiconductors tour warned her off before she could be seriously injured.

“Here is, actually, a harvested U-rod,” the employee said, prompting the Democratic nominee to ask as she reached out, “Can I touch it?”

The employee quickly countered, “Do not touch it!… Please do not touch any of the poly — it is very sharp.”

“And shiny!” the vice president replied.

As seen above, ex-Republican National Committee Communications Specialist Steve Guest responded to the incident in a post on X, “This is straight out of Veep,”

“She’s totally helpless,” the Trump War Room X account responded in a post of its own.

One social media user asked the appropriate question, “She can’t be around sharp objects, but she can be President?”

Here’s that post and a sampling of other responses, as seen on X:
