KAMALA Harris has been widely criticized after she appeared to give another one of her trademark word salads to Americans impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.
The blazes have ravaged the city over the past week, killing 25 people, torching more than 40,000 acres of land, and destroying over 12,000 buildings.
Thousands of people are under evacuation orders, and outgoing Vice President Harris urged southern California residents to heed the warnings and stay patient.
She was on a conference call with President Joe Biden on Monday.
“It’s critically important that, to the extent you can find anything that gives you an ability to be patient in this extremely dangerous and unprecedented crisis, that you do,” she said.
But viewers noted how her message was more convoluted than perhaps it needed to be.
“Unbelievable. More word salad from our VP Kamala Harris,” one critic scoffed.
“Perhaps she should be seen and not heard.”
Another simply said that Harris’ remarks were just “classic Kamala.”
“Be patient means the same thing, but listen to this word salad instead,” a critic said.
“Oh look! The word salad champion strikes again,” an X user pointed out.
Some shared memes that showed lettuce coming out of Harris’ mouth.
“She’s been hittin’ the salad bowl again,” a MAGA supporter said.
She was also accused of being tone-deaf in her plea to wildfire victims.
However, Trump fans pointed out that Harris’s rambling remarks at the White House are coming to an end.
Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president on Monday.
“Word salad is being taken off the menu,” one supporter said.
Trump fans wasted no opportunity to mock the vice president, using some of her previous remarks as weapons.
Harris, who is from California, went viral when she kept repeating, “There’s great significance in the passage of time.”
HARRIS’ WORD SALADS
Social media users said they had been “unburdened” in another jibe hurled at the vice president.
Harris previously recycled her “unburdened by what has been” phrase on the campaign trail – something that wasn’t missed by the Trump team.
At the time, they claimed she had “defaulted” to her go-to lines.
While Biden and Harris are holed up in Washington, firefighters continue to work around the clock to put out the flames.
Four suspected arsonists have since been arrested, Los Angeles cops have revealed.
Red flag wind warnings were issued earlier this week, coming into force early on Tuesday to around noon on Wednesday.
A critical fire weather area warning is in force across southern California, per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Winds on higher ground could reach speeds of more than 50mph, according to forecasters.
The Palisades Fire has scorched over 23,000 acres and is only 18% contained.
The Eaton Fire, which also impacts southern Californians, is 35% contained and burned over 14,000 acres of land.
Officials say the blazes will likely be the second and fourth most destructive in California history.
Fire crews have opened up on the devastation.
“This is the most devastating natural disaster to hit the Los Angeles area,” Erik Scott, a Los Angeles Fire Department captain, said.
“I’ve worked here for 20 years, and I’ve never seen nor imagined devastation to be this extensive.”
