For those who’ve been keeping track of Vice President Kamala Harris’s day-to-day duties, one reality that has become clear is that she simply doesn’t seem interested in doing her job. She wants the shiny title but that’s where the buck stops.
The biggest example is her utter reluctance to tackle the border crisis even as the humanitarian catastrophe continues to spread to places like El Paso and beyond.
Now Harris seems to be suggesting that she’s actually doing too much work, which will undoubtedly have many political observers scoffing mightily.
In a new interview with BET, broadcaster Soledad O’Brien started to tick off the long list of Harris’s assignments and pressed her on whether she’s overworked.
“Immigration, increasing broadband access, Black maternal mortality, racial inequality, women in the workforce, infrastructure,” O’Brien said to Harris. “We just talked about voting rights. That seems like a lot for one person.”
Harris piped up: “Well, don’t forget I’m in charge of the Space Council.”
“Can one person do all that realistically?” O’Brien responded.
Then came the tacit admission…
Harris said she’s used to multitasking and is motivated by all the work that she and Biden are trying to get done.
“Yeah, maybe I don’t say ‘no’ enough,” Harris said with a laugh. “But I do believe that these things are achievable. It’s just a lot of hard work, but that’s why we’re here and that’s what people wanted. Right?”
Harris had originally suggested that, instead of traveling to the border to examine the crisis up close, that she would work on the “root causes” of immigration instead, citing the liberal buzzwords of “climate change” in doing so.
