It’s been a rough November for Kamala Harris. Heading into this month, Harris was sure that she’d end it as the first female President-elect in American history.
Instead, Harris was trounced by Donald Trump not only in the Electoral College, but also in the popular vote. Weeks after this devastating loss, Harris has posted a video that has some social media users speculating that she’s been drinking her sorrows away.
Immediately after her loss, Harris fled to Hawaii for a vacation. She then arrived in San Francisco on Monday to spend Thanksgiving with her family.
The next day, Harris posted a Thanksgiving video in which she sent a message to Democrats. Indeed, this video was nothing short of bizarre.
From Daily Mail:
She was dressed in work-wear for the video in what appeared to be a living room and looked bleary-eyed as she delivered the 28-second message.‘And you have the same purpose that you did. And you have the same ability to engage and inspire,’ she continued. ‘So don’t ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.’
It’s unclear what prompted the VP to deliver the pep talk, though online commenters suggested she wasn’t sober.
“Have you been drinking?” asked the former Hercules star Kevin Sorbo.
“Ooof she looks rough. Couple too many drinks?” another social media user questioned. A third commented, “When you’re by yourself minding your own business at Thanksgiving and your drunk Aunt finds you…”
The conservative media personality Chad Prather bluntly asked, “Is Kamala Harris drunk?”
“The Democrats just released this video of Kamala Harris sending an urgent reminder to her followers to keep fighting,” he continued. “It’s kinda funny, she’s trying to sound inspiring but ends up saying absolutely nothing.”

Body Language Expert Weighs In
Body language analyst Judi James spoke out to say that Harris’ mannerisms in the above video are indicative of someone who struggles to express honest human emotion.
“This is a very verbose speech that combines Harris’ talent for the word salad with her signature body language rituals that try to persuade you that you are listening to some extremely profound, motivational thoughts and messages,” James said.
James went on to explain that in her opinion, Harris was grasping to show some real emotion and empathy for her supporters in this footage.
“Her gestures are largely flaccid, including the waggling finger, implying a weaker impression than her words,” James concluded.
Many of us have known for years that Harris struggles to show genuine emotion. This is likely largely why the Harris campaign hid her away from the media as much as possible throughout the race.
While running for president, Harris avoided having to speak off-the-cuff like the plague as she instead typically opted for highly-scripted appearances that were firmly in her control.
The bottom line is that the more Harris speaks to the public, the more unlikable she is. This likely played a huge role in her not winning over the voters that she desperately needed in order to defeat Trump.
Whether Harris was drunk or not, the above video certainly does not paint her in a positive light. In the end, it’s nothing short of baffling that Harris and her team thought that releasing this video was a good idea.
Thank goodness Harris won’t be our next president!
