Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, recently sparked widespread mockery on social media after she used one of her word-salad catchphrases during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The 59-year-old Vice President’s use of “unburdened” generated mixed reactions from the public.
Harris’ speech to union workers on Monday night included the phrase “We have dreams. We can see what is possible, unburdened by what has been,” which was met with ridicule from critics who labeled her a “word salad extraordinaire.” Memes were also circulated mocking Harris for her repeated use of the word-salad catchphrases.
Some users on social media compared her speeches to a “greatest hits show” that features various memorable phrases and incidents, such as her infamous “coconut tree line,” which went viral in 2019, and her ill-timed cackling during public events. Despite the widespread mockery, Kamala Harris has continued using the phrase “unburdened” frequently in recent years, with many people still struggling to understand its meaning or significance.
In addition to facing criticism for her word choices, Vice President Kamala Harris was also accused of adopting a “fake accent” while addressing teachers union members in Michigan earlier on Monday. Critics claimed that she altered her tone and speech patterns when interacting with supporters at a Detroit high school.
