Vice President Kamala Harris grew flustered when protesters heckled her during her Nevada rally on Thursday, causing her to once again spew her infamous word salad.
"You know what? Let me say something about this," Harris said amid the disruption at the Reno event.

"We are here because we are fighting for a democracy," the vice president fumed. "Fighting for a democracy.
"And understand the difference here, understand the difference here, moving forward, moving forward, understand the difference here," Harris rambled.
"What we are looking at is a difference in this election — let's move forward and see where we are because on the issue, for example, freedom of choice …," the Democratic nominee continued as the heckling intensified, interrupting her yet again.
"That's OK. That's all right. That's OK," Harris said as her supporters drowned out the protest.
Hours earlier, during a speech in Phoenix, the Democratic nominee for president was interrupted multiple times by anti-Israel protesters.
"Hey guys, you know what? Here's the thing …," Harris said, addressing the demonstrators.
"Let's talk for a moment about Gaza," she continued. "We all want this war to end and to get the hostages out, and I will work on it full-time when I am elected president."
Earlier in her remarks, Harris responded, "That's all right," when her supporters attempted to drown out a demonstration with chants of "Ka-ma-ka, Ka-ma-la."
"Democracy can be complicated, but we believe in democracy and the right of everyone to have their voices heard," she added, before powering through the disruption.
Harris has been plagued by anti-Israel protests at her rallies throughout her campaign.
On Wednesday, in Madison, Wis., a protester seated near the stage shouted, "Cease-fire now," shortly after Harris began her speech.
"Listen, we all want the war in Gaza to end and get the hostages out as soon as possible," Harris responded. "And I will do everything in my power to make it work."
"And everyone has a right to be heard, but right now, I am speaking."
More than 650,000 Democrats nationwide voted "uninstructed" or "uncommitted" in the Democratic presidential primaries earlier this year in protest of the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the conflict in the Middle East.

She folds under pressure quite easily.
It's hard to picture her having serious conversations with other leaders.
EU President: What do we do about ending the fighting in Ukraine?
Kamala: "I was raised in the middle class. So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.”
EU President: Thanks Kamala. You are a great help. Why don't you go play with the dog outside while the grownups talk?
I just can't picture us having another Biden like president.
Good one!!!!
Recess.
At this point the very phrase 'word salad' has become a tiresome word salad. Maybe, although I doubt it, y'all can come up with something new before y'all kill us with verbal ennui. I am reminded of an old recipe commercial that employed a vinyl record that skipped at the line "add a little more sherry".
Thank you.
Kamala Harris delivers word salad like Donald Rumsfeld. Kamala Harris stretches the truth like Colin Powell, Kamala Harris lowers the political temperature like Condi Rice. Kamala Harris prosecutes adversaries like Dick Cheney.
Does the name Jim Sensenbrenner bring back fond neocon memories of torture, enemy combatants, and Freedom Fries? The remaining neocons who supported the war on terror, the Patriot Act, globalization, free trade, and all the efforts of Republicans to sell out America are backing Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris has made a big deal about who supports Donald Trump. From my perspective the Republicans supporting Kamala Harris are far more dangerous than those backing Trump.
There may be truth stretching but no one lies and distorts the truth like Trump and his pals.
Yeah, what's the purpose of the exaggerations, fabrications, and lies? The lies aren't nearly as important as what the liar is attempting to achieve. Is Trump trying to lie the country into war, like Colin Powell? Is Trump trying to lie the country into open borders for trade, immigration, and military expansion? Is Trump trying to lie the country into accepting more power, influence, and control by financial institutions, insurance brokers, and stock peddlers? Is Trump lying to get another Patriot Act to turn social media vendors into censors and snitches? Is Trump lying to expand for-profit medicine at the expense of those who need health care? Is Trump lying to burden communities with half funded infrastructure projects and no promise of maintenance? Is Trump lying to give taxpayer money to purveyors of untested, unproven high tech junk?
You know, Kamala Harris is making all sorts of wonderful promises about what she'll do in office. But she is already in office. Why hasn't she done what she said she will do? Isn't Harris lying? What is she trying to achieve with those lies?
Kamala Harris is making all sorts of predictions about what Donald trump will do in office. But Trump was already President and has a record. Why didn't Trump do what Harris says he'll do? Isn't Harris lying? What is she trying to achieve with those lies?
Seeing as your diatribes consist of questions, here's one for you ... what powers does a VP have?
The VP is the liaison between the Oval Office and Congress, particularly the Senate. The VP, in modern times, has become a chief advisor to the President and has the authority to lobby Congress for legislation to support, apply pressure on the President, and enact the VP's political agenda.
Dick Cheney was the modern VP who expanded the role and authority of the VP into more of a partner to the President rather than a servant to the President. Joe Biden was a similar type of activist VP under Obama.
What country do you live in? Those are not the job functions of an American VP. The VP is picked by and serves at the pleasure of the President. Period.
Cheney/Bush and Biden/Bush are irrelevant to what Biden expected of Harris.
"The VP is picked by" this part is correct.
"and serves at the pleasure of the President. Period." absolute unadulterated bullshit. the VP is in elected position and can only be removed by Congress, the President can go fuck himself if he doesn't like or want his VP. and the VP can absolutely pressure a president through lobbing congress and the press and there isn't a fucking thing the president can do about it.
“the President can go fuck himself if he doesn't like or want his VP.”
To the point of sitting idly by while his acolytes chant ‘hang him’…
Where was Teddy Roosevelt when McGinley was shot?
Roosevelt was essentially exiled to do whatever he wanted, wherever he wanted as long as he didn't interfere with or bother McGinley at all.
He was dead politically and McGinley aimed to keep him that way.
Roosevelt lived with Henry Cabot Lodge at 1765 Massachusetts Ave for 5 days after the inauguration before returning to New York to live with his family.
And Congress couldn't do shit about it except to talk Roosevelt out of resigning a few times.
It's not reality TV George; can you list any instance where an American POTUS "fucked himself' because he didn't like his VP?
Again, it would be interesting to see how this theoretical political theatre would workout. Do you have any example. Self experience?
Still unadulterated bullshit, the VP doesn’t serve at the pleasure of the president. PERIOD!

Stil wrong as far as reality goes. Who picks a VP he can't stand besides Donald Trump?
Let me ask a different way counselor.
Have you any experience working in the Executive Branch? the White House? any self experience or just being disagreeable
because you can?

Yes, George, the PotUS cannot directly fire the VP, but the reality of the relationship is that the PotUS sets the agenda and the VP supports it. Politically, if a VP is at odds with the PotUS, the PotUS can relegate the VP to oblivion. A VP who publicly counters the PotUS would be viewed as a traitor to the party.
In history, to see a such a disagreement in action one needs to go back to John Calhoun and Andrew Jackson where Calhoun resigned as VP. The most recent example was Pence refusing to engage in the unconstitutional acts of Trump's scheme but prior to that he was entirely loyal to Trump.
In effect, in actual reality, the VP abides by the wishes of the PotUS because it is political suicide to do otherwise.
Calhoun and Agnew both resigned. Agnew was allowed to be replaced by Gerald Ford after approval by Congress, Ford was not elected to the position.
Calhoun like many other VPs could not be replaced according to the Constitution prior to the 25th Amendment. Calhoun had also run for a Senate seat for SC which he won and decided he could do more to protect slavery as a six year Senator as opposed to a toothless VP. He resigned the VP position after six days.
The office of the VP wasn't taken seriously for over 200 years and functioned without a VP for over 40 plus years.
Isn't history fun?
And yet some people ask why the current VP hasn't been running the show for the past 3 and a half years?
Really?

It's not word salad, it's weaving.
