Right-wing websites like the Post Millennial, the New York Post, and Blaze Media published articles claiming Vice President Kamala Harris referred to Ukraine as a part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance in a recent tweet. This claim was disputed by some on social media, who claimed Harris didn’t say anything of the sort:

    If it were this war wouldn’t be happening.

    Jeez, she just keeps on demonstrating that she’s not up to the task of being arguably the most irrelevant person in the executive branch (assuming the president can still breathe and make word noises come out of his pie hole).

    "The transcript listed on the White House website adds an “and” that Harris did not use in her speech"

    Is that ethical?

      To be fair...(Letterkenny Style)...they didn't really use it it like a quote, so I guess you can change it to be correct. But to be realistic...c'mon, VP! You thought Ukraine was in NATO!? It's pretty obvious she thought that or didn't really have a strong grasp about what she was saying, right?

    My takeaway from this article is that there's a site called, "Politwoops" and I can't get over how this so captures the fiber of Harris' being.

    Poorly written, but doubtful the VP wrote it. Some 20 something social media person or intern did.

      That scenario would be even more pathetic.

        As far as I am aware Trump was pretty unique in doing his own social media posts. My oldest was a congressional intern, his guy did not, I think that's the norm. I say GOOD to that norm.

        They may do some innocuous selfies at events, but I'd guess a lot of those are done by somebody else.

          The twitting behavior of significant government officials has real-world impact. If the Vice President of the United States's account is twitting inaccurate information, the account should be shut down or limited to cat pictures. It is just (words fail me) this kind of thing happening.

            I don't disagree. The problem is in my opinion is they don't need to be tweeting at all.

            I will also observe that there maybe a distinction between her Twitter and the VP's in terms of content. Certainly a campaign could not use the official one. I recall that staff had to take Trump off the official one and it may have even released corrections to trump's private one.

    I guess Kamala grew up in a community that didn't allow children of color to watch "conjunction junction, what's your function"?

    I didn't even know airwaves could discriminate, but I learn something new every day.
