Kamala Harris served up another huge helping of "word salad" during her softball interview with an ABC affiliate - dodging questions and saying little of substance during her first solo media sitdown since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, critics told The Post Saturday.
"When a reporter asks about inflation and she responds by talking about [neighbors'] lawns, I'd say she is disconnected from everyday Americans," Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) said.
"But worse, is that she has no plan to fix it because she's the one who broke it."

Harris went off on a series of cringe-worthy rants during her nearly 11-minute Friday interview with anchor Brian Taff of Philadelphia-based Action News 6, including after Taff's initial question on how she'd bring prices down in the U.S.
"Well, I'll start with this: I grew up as a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard," said Harris, before moving on to greener pastures — but not the economy.
"I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn. You know? And, um, and I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity," the vice president added.
She never said how she'd tackle inflation, but instead highlighted her proposed policy to give a $25,000 handout to new homeowners and provide tax breaks to new small businesses.

"When asked a basic question about the economy, she once again regurgitated the same story from the debate about growing up in a middle-class setting with a working-class mother."
"At best, it was a disjointed response showing no real empathy or understanding of the issue and only repeating the lines that were drilled into her during debate prep, offering no real solutions."
When asked how she's different from President Biden, Harris also said a lot of nothing.
"Well, I'm obviously not Joe Biden, and I offer a new generation of leadership."
She then vowed to "invest in areas that need a lot of work," without specifying any.
"My focus is very much on what we need to do over the next 10, 20 years to catch up to the 21st Century," Harris bizarrrely added.
Harris also skirted the question when asked why ex-President Donald Trump appeals to so many Americans.

Instead, she spent time speaking in circles before painting the Republican presidential nominee as divisive.
"I, based on experience and, uh, and, a lived experience, know in my heart, I know in my soul, I know that the vast majority of us as Americans have in common so much more than what separates us," Harris said.
"And I also believe that I am accurate in knowing that most Americans want a leader who brings us together as Americans — and not someone who professes to be a leader who is trying to have us point our fingers at each other," she said.

Perhaps, the veep's clearest answer came after being asked about the country's gun-violence epidemic.
Harris, a licensed gun owner, said she won't take "anyone's guns away" and supports the Second Amendment, but would beef up background checks and ban "assault weapons."
"They're literally tools of war," Harris said.

Oh, if you don't like Ranch, I'll see what else I can find in the fridge............./s
Green Goddess might be more appropriate.
The question is, She has been part of this administration for 4 years, why hasn't she even tried to do any of the things she claims now she will do? does the current president think she is an idiot? or is it she is just that ineffectual as a leader that she can't get anything accomplished?
The other question is since Trump was actually POTUS for 4 years, why didn't he accomplish anything he promised to do, other than tax cuts for millionaires? He is almost 8 years past due on his healthcare plan that he said was only 2 weeks away.
Make America Proud Of Lawns Again. MAPOLA is a real grass roots movement.
It's not word salad; it's turf and surf.
This is as bad as palin. Trump’s campaign is promoting it as an ad to get people to watch.
Here's something you've never seen before. A presidential campaign posting the entire, unedited interview of his opponent in the hopes people will watch it. Nothing but her own incoherent words words necessary:
She is such a joke.
Harris does word salad for politics, trump does it because he's retarded.
