I'm not the only one who sees this video and thinks, "Is she drunk?"

It's an odd video in many respects. Watch.

This is the first public statement released by Kamala Harris in THREE WEEKS, and it is 29 seconds, with no introduction or conclusion. It's simply a clip from some video she recorded, presumably on Tuesday, and released at 6:19 P.M. with no fanfare. It isn't even on Kamala Harris' own X account. It comes via the Democrats. 

I have always resisted the frequent accusation on social media that the consumption of alcohol could explain Kamala Harris's somewhat odd demeanor when giving a speech, speaking to a group, or even the rare occasion of saying something to reporters. But in this latest video she… pic.twitter.com/EeN1gfJWoz

The whole thing is weird. You would think that Harris would have prepared a coherent message, projecting strength and resolve and inspiring her supporters. But this clip from a longer video was the first thing that was pushed out by the Democratic Party. 

Instead, you got...this. Better than a TikTok video car rant, but hardly anything you would expect from a Vice President and presidential candidate. 

No video like this would ever have been released by a politician who is not hated by her staff. https://t.co/q7Mbbq5SzB

The entire video from which this is clipped is maximum cringe. Perhaps that is why the Party didn't want to ask people to plow through it. And since there was nothing good to clip, they picked the cringiest moment and shared it. If you can stomach the whole video, here it is. 

FULL VIDEO: Kamala Harris addresses supporters three weeks after humiliating loss to Trump in painfully CRINGE 10 minute rant where she brags about wasting over $1.4 BILLION in donor money.

This is hard to watch - YIKES pic.twitter.com/dI8KqK8lwW

Contrast that video with Kari Lake's after she conceded the Senate race in Arizona. Can you tell the difference? Kari Lake, when she is bad is very, very bad, but when she is good, she is outstanding. Her concession was off the charts good, in contrast to Kamala.

If you knew nothing else, which would you guess came from a presidential candidate who came within a few million votes after spending almost a billion and a half dollars? It reads to me like a woman who lost an election for president of the homeowner's association. 

Bizarre. 

Would you buy Kamala-branded boxed wine? 🍷

On top of it all, she sounds kinda drunk. She is talking slowly and sounds overemotional. I don't say this because I don't think highly of Kamala Harris. Objectively speaking, she looks and sounds awful. 

Yes! You go girl! You can do it!! https://t.co/MhRwgmCbww

Harris has been putting out feelers about potential future runs for Governor of California or even president in four years. This video, I would think, was supposed to be her opening statement to set up a rehabilitation. 

If so, it was as successful as her presidential campaign. 

🚨 JUST IN: Kamala Harris’ internal polling NEVER showed her leading President Trump, her aides tell HuffPo

The entire campaign was a TOTAL LIE.

In a few years, even Democrats will look back on the 2024 election and wonder WTF they were doing. First, putting forward a man who was visibly turning into a vegetable, and switching him out, and replacing him with a woman who cannot get through a 30-second video without looking and sounding drunk. 

Political parties can make remarkable turnarounds in short periods of time, so don't assume Democrats are done for a decade or longer. But given what we have seen over the past few weeks and even years, the party has a long way to go to get to a point where they have either a candidate or a message that is not 100% repellent to ordinary Americans. 

One of the reasons that Americans seem to be breathing a sigh of relief is that a majority now feel they dodged a bullet this election (and not just in Butler). Harris is going to look worse and worse in the rearview mirror as the campaign fades into the distance. With the rose-colored glasses of partisan hopes taken off, even Harris supporters will see videos like this and wonder what they were thinking.
