Vice President Kamala Harris launched into a bizarre explanation about stars and constellations to explain former President Donald Trump’s actions.
During an interview with Roland Martin published Monday, the commentator asked Harris to react to former Trump’s frequent mockery of big cities with large black communities, such as Detroit, Chicago and Washington, DC.
“I once talked to someone who told me, ‘You know, if you just look at where the stars are in the sky, don’t look at them as random things,'” he said. “If you just look at them as dots, look at the constellation: what does it show you?”
Harris used the constellation analogy to suggest that Trump’s attacks on those cities were not accidental but a product of racism.
‘You just outlined it, Roland, what does it show you?’ she asked. ‘These are the cities you mess with in terms of black population or black mayor or both. Come on.”
US Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris speaks during a campaign rally at Williams Arena in Greenville, North Carolina.
Last week, Trump made a surprising comment during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, suggesting the city is mismanaged.
‘The whole country is going to say: do you want to know the truth? It will be like Detroit. Our entire country will end up being like Detroit if she is your president. “You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” Trump warned the bipartisan group of executives and business leaders.
He also previously criticized Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for being a “horrible city” days before the Republican National Convention was held there. And Trump frequently attacks the city of Chicago for rampant crime.
Harris’ hapless comment sparked ridicule on social media as the candidate’s latest ‘word salad.’
“Kamala tries to talk about stars and constellations, but ends up offering the worst word salad in the history of humanity,” wrote X user Johnny Maga on social media. “This is a major party’s presidential candidate, folks.”
“It’s like a gambler trying to recoup his losses by yelling at a slot machine,” said X user Anthony Galli. notedreferring to Harris’ media strategy.
“Every time I hear Kamala speak, I start to believe a little more that she actually has brain damage,” wrote self-proclaimed Independent for Trump David LaBeouf in X.
With just three weeks until the presidential election, Harris is increasing the number of media interviews, especially with outlets focused on Black audiences.
She urged the black community to fight “misinformation” and “lies” that she said were used by foreign governments to suppress the black vote.
“Don’t let anyone take you out of the game,” he said. “There is an intention to make it more difficult, there is an intention to suggest to many people that their vote will not matter with the intention of making people not vote, which is an attempt to silence people.”
Harris said she would continue campaigning to win the black vote in states like North Carolina.
“I don’t feel like that, I’m going to go everywhere,” he said. ‘That’s why I’m in rural areas of North Carolina and Georgia and other places where people say, ‘Oh, your votes aren’t there.’ But my people are there.’

Martin also asked Harris about her intention to use the Justice Department to prosecute hate crimes.
“In fact, we have seen an increase in hate crimes across the board and it doesn’t help when you have someone who was president running again to be president and constantly fanning the flames of hate and division in our country,” he responded. . ‘Constantly.’
