Kamala Harris returned to the speaker's podium this week, and perhaps her word salads were better.
She's known for unleashing long strings of words that often are held together only tenuously and actually don't respond to the question she was asked, as Joe Biden's vice president and then as the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee.
She essentially disappeared from the platform for a time after President Donald Trump's landslide victories in the popular vote and the Electoral College in November.
But she's back.
A report at Fox News revealed how she "urged Democrats across the country to act like elephants in an awkward digression during her speech Wednesday night."
She offered an "angry and negative" view of Trump's first 100 days in office.
Speaking to Emerge's "gala" for the elite in San Francisco, she said, "Okay, it's kind of dark in here, but I am going to ask for a show of hands. Who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago? The one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake. Google it if you have not seen it. So that scene has been on my mind. Everybody has been asking what are you thinking about these days. For those who haven't seen it, here those elephants were, and as soon as they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet, they got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable. Think about it. What a powerful metaphor."
She continued, "Because we know those who try to incite fear are most effective when they divide and conquer. When they separate the herd, when they try to make everyone think they are alone. But in the face of crisis, the lesson is don't, don't scatter."
Her sobriety was questioned online, with one informing that the speech was brought to you by "boxed wine."
One on social media said, "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
She did not address rumors she now wants to be governor in California, a campaign that California voters, in polling, have rejected.
