Vice President Kamala Harris faced a wave of online criticism and ridicule after delivering a Thanksgiving message on November 26, 2024, that many described as incoherent and rambling.
Shared through official Democratic Party channels, the video showed Harris speaking in a tone some viewers likened to being intoxicated. Social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), erupted with memes and jokes about her demeanor, including altered images showing Harris holding alcohol bottles and cigars.
In the video, Harris encouraged supporters to “hold on to their power” and spoke of resilience despite recent political losses. However, her delivery, marked by slurred words and occasional hiccups, led to widespread comparisons to a “drunk aunt at Thanksgiving.”
Prominent X accounts shared clips, with one meme caption reading, “Hungover Kamala checking if she drunk-posted anything yesterday.” Other reactions mocked her for delivering unsolicited “life advice” akin to an overbearing family member at holiday gatherings.
It’s her. It’s not a hostage video. It’s just plain ole Kamala and the world deserves to see the bullet we dodged on November 5!

Critics seized the opportunity to question Harris’s credibility, with some commenters highlighting her attempts to motivate supporters as a sign of desperation. Body language experts noted her disjointed gestures and strained delivery, describing it as a mix of forced optimism and emotional fatigue.

The video has since become one of the most viral political moments of the holiday season, reinforcing both support and skepticism of the vice president within different circles.
Harris’s candidacy in the 2024 presidential election drew significant criticism from both political commentators and members of her own party, many of whom viewed her as one of the least popular and least capable candidates to represent the Democrats.
Her approval ratings consistently lagged behind other Democratic leaders, and her tenure as Vice President under Joe Biden was marked by missteps and public gaffes that alienated many voters. These issues, compounded by controversies in her personal and political past, made her a polarizing figure in American politics.
Harris’s questionable relationships from earlier in her career became a focal point for critics questioning her rise to power. She was once romantically linked to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who later admitted to aiding her political ascent by appointing her to two lucrative state commissions in the 1990s.
This relationship, along with her brief time dating television personality Montel Williams, was often used as ammunition by opponents to paint her as an opportunist rather than a leader driven by merit. Harris’s detractors argued that these associations tainted her image as a self-made public servant and raised questions about her judgment.
Harris’s inability to connect with voters on key issues hurt her credibility as a viable candidate. Her presidential campaign in 2019, long before the 2024 race, ended prematurely due to lack of funding and enthusiasm, signaling a lack of grassroots support.
Critics also pointed to her inconsistent positions on criminal justice reform during her time as California’s Attorney General, where she took hardline stances on minor offenses but failed to address systemic corruption within law enforcement. These inconsistencies became a liability as she attempted to rally progressive and moderate Democrats alike.
Her perceived inauthenticity also played a role in her unpopularity. Memorable moments, such as her awkward laughter during serious interviews and disjointed public speeches, reinforced the narrative that Harris struggled to connect with everyday Americans.
As the Democratic Party faced mounting pressure to distance itself from the policy failures of the Biden-Harris administration, Harris’s role as a central figure in the administration further eroded her support among independents and moderates.
Ultimately, Harris’s candidacy reflected a broader struggle within the Democratic Party to present a unified and compelling vision for the future.
For many voters, Harris’s candidacy symbolized a miscalculation by the Democratic leadership, paving the way for a decisive Republican victory in 2024.
I can only imagine the word salad, after a little wine is added
She was drunk.
Sound Familiar.?
Like Nancy Piglosi drunk and she accuses everyone else for losing like Communist Hitlery Clinton.
What a complete loser and Moron Communist Kamala is.
Disgraceful Harris is the VP OF THE UNITED STATES and she represents America and goes on national TV with this speech most likely drunk and expect Americans to respect her. She is a democrat disgrace to our country this is another reason she lost every States confidence in her. Her political career is over for ever she has no respect for herself or our country. She should just hide in disgrace and not open her mouth anymore nobody wants to see or hear from her just like Hillary Clinton your finished every where.
Harris looks 90 years old what in hell is she doing out in public
She looks like a mortician worked on her after death.
Does Harris really think she’s going to get the same opportunity she was handed to her as VP she wasn’t voted to that position she got because she was black and a female that was Biden’s only qualifications he wanted a token and that’s all he got. She couldn’t win votes on her qualifications or accomplishments because she had none what she did as prosecutor was taking credit for everyone’s else hard work. Harris on her own shows how useless she really is just a black dumbass democrat.
No Problem for the Deep State ‘Arkancide’ squad! They can take her out.
