Harris Gives a ‘Kind of’ ‘Word Salad’ ‘When She Doesn’t Want to Answer a Question’ Like on Israel

On Wednesday, CNN senior political commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod said 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris “has a habit of using the term Salad City when she doesn't want to answer a question. Yes, and she did.” He said that several times during his town hall with CNN, including about Israel.

Axelrod said Harris' performance at CNN's Town Hall was “mixed” and that “she was very strong out of the gate, and she clearly had a purpose and wanted it — They want to focus on this latest chapter, including John Kerry's Hitler story, but generally they want to focus on anti-democratic behavior and the threat it represents. And she was clearly well prepared for that, because she was as passionate about abortion rights as ever. Because she has. She can be clinical on some of these economic issues. She was great in long-term care for the elderly, helping people in the sandwich generation.”

He added, “But the thing that bothers me and I — she did one thing at the end that I thought was very important — is that it bothers me. That’s it.” [are] When she didn't want to answer a question, it was her habit to go to Word Salad City, and she did so with some answers. One was about Israel. Anderson asked him directly if he thought he was stronger on Israel than Trump. And there were 7 minutes of responses, none of which were related to the question he was asking. So when it came to that particular question, immigration, she admitted that she had no concerns about government policy, so I thought maybe it was a missed opportunity, but I was wrong. did. Sometimes you have to make concessions, but she didn't make many concessions. …but she said something at the end, which I thought should actually be a frame…she said, he has a list of enemies, I have a to-do list , and that to-do list concerns you mentioned tonight. I think that's the basic discussion here, what are the motivations for each of them, and who is actually going to work on things that are going to have a positive impact on your life? ”
