An infuriated Oprah Winfrey was forced to interrupt Kamala Harris to answer questions about the border on behalf of the emotionless vice president.
Winfrey spoke for two hours. United for America Kamala's livestream on Thursday night was a star-studded event, but it wasn't actually star-studded: Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, and Jennifer Lopez weren't actually there. They were watching the show on their computers, like everyone else, and probably playing solitaire 15 minutes later.
For the rest of the evening, VP Word Salad Annie didn't answer any questions or make any headlines, but things got especially awkward when Oprah had had enough of Kamala's nonsense.
A young man asked Kamala a very blunt question: “What concrete steps will you take to strengthen the border?”
That's it. That's all he asked. It's not a deep question. It's a simple question. But that's the answer he got. And that's what I think was going through Oprah's mind for the next 3 endless minutes (Kamala is serious)…
Kamala: This is a great and important question. I have a background as a prosecutor and was elected two terms as Attorney General of a border state. So this is not a theoretical issue for me. This is something I have worked on in practice. I have prosecuted international criminal organizations on gun, drug and human trafficking charges. I take very seriously the importance of securing our borders and keeping the American people safe.
Oprah: Well done, she supplemented her answer with her own experience.
Kamala: Sadly, the situation we're in can be traced back to when lawmakers, including some of the most conservative Republicans in the United States Congress, introduced a border security bill that would have put 1,500 more Border Patrol agents on the border. Border Patrol agents work around the clock. The purpose would have been to give them support and relief. Maybe that's why Border Patrol agents actually supported this bill. This bill would have stopped the flow of fentanyl. I'm looking at people here across the country, so I don't need to tell you all of you watching this how fentanyl has impacted families and children in our country, and that we need to seriously stop the flow of fentanyl coming into this country, and we need to address this extraordinary, tragic problem in terms of its impacts.
Oprah: Okay, Kamala…okay, you opened the border wide open to Third World Democrats because of everyone else. We all appreciate that. But this young person and this country wants specifics. We both know you'll never secure the border, and we appreciate that, but let's move on with the specific lies.
Kamala: This bill would have allowed for more resources to be put in place to prosecute international criminal organizations and would have been part of the solution. Donald Trump called these people and said, Do not bring the bill to a vote on the floor.
Oprah: Blaming Trump is fine. I forgot about that. But before the questioner falls asleep, let's get to the specifics.
Kamala: He blocked the bill. Why? Because he preferred to run with the problem rather than solve it.
Oprah: I get it! I get it, guys. I swear, I get it. Now, answer me, okay?
Kamala: And he prioritized his own political security over border security.
Oprah: Chocolate pie. Chocolate pie. Chocolate pie.
Kamala: Because I understand what an impact this bill has had in supporting people who care about this issue, even in the months since.
Oprah: Naked Steadman removes his girdle and I look on. Real Housewives And McDonald's wrappers fall at my feet like autumn leaves.
Kamala: And this again relates to what leadership actually is. And is it about you or is it about people? Is it about addressing problems or solving problems?
Oprah: Salad… Salad… Salad… Wait, why am I thinking of Salad? Then the girdle opens, the belly band is released… Salad. Salad. No! No! … Why… Where…
Kamala: My job and my career has always been about saying, “Let's solve the problem.”
Oprah: A salad of words. A salad of worlds! Oh no… she still goes on and on about nothing and doing funny things with her hands. Barry had warned me about this!
Kamala: Let’s address the needs because we know we have the capacity to do it.
Oprah: Watch me save her with one word. This is why I'm a queen, bitch… “So, to answer Justin's question, since that bill has disappeared and not passed, are you going to introduce it?”
Kamala: absolutely.
Oprah: So I'm Oprah and she's Willie Brown's old mistress.
See for yourself and tell me I'm wrong.
