Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with “The TODAY Show” to discuss COVID-19 testing and managed to strike out so spectacularly that the White House had to jump in to clarify.
The interview went a lot like giving a book report on a book that you never actually read, and America is the disappointed teacher.
Giving no definitive timeline on when the COVID tests are going to be sent out to Americans, Harris left people wondering if she just wasn’t sure on the exact date, or if the Biden administration as a whole has no concrete plan at this time.
Watch:
As Omicron rages and causes COVID cases to surge even among the vaccinated and boosted crowd, many are urgently awaiting the arrival of these tests. The lack of certainty is frustrating for many and for others, casts doubt on the administration’s ability to handle large tasks efficiently.
HARRIS: And it is a matter of urgency for us.
Q: Should we have done that sooner?
HARRIS: We are doing it.https://t.co/5X6aaapbqE— Josh Kraushaar (@JoshKraushaar) January 13, 2022
For others, Harris’ competency falls into question as she appears to flounder under the weight of her job.
Would be great to contrast that with Mike Pence and ANY of his COVID briefings. Dude would have had region by region fedex tracking numbers on hand, as well as supplier names and quantities.

The more they try to dress her up and attempt to make her a serious player….she undermines the effort by her woeful lack of preparation and precision.

Maybe a VP would want to check the current information before sitting down for an interview on national TV

Someone on her staff should have mentioned that there was a slight possibility that she would get this question.

The omicron wave is happening NOW!
Our already overrun ERs are being hit with folks with mild viral symptoms who can’t find a COVID-19 NOW!
Folks need the tests NOW!
Of course this is what we’ve grown to expect from an incompetent administration.

They’re just horrible at literally everything they’ve tried

Following that disaster of an interview, a White House official attempted to clarify the timeline, saying that 500 million tests will be sent out “later this month” according to TODAY.com.
The deeper America gets into Harris’ vice presidency, the more obvious it seems that she is woefully underqualified for the position, and didn’t get there based on her political chops.
