Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent Nevada rally might have made headlines, but it wasn’t for the reasons her team was hoping for. Once again, Harris became the target of online mockery for her infamous “word salad” style of speaking after a heckler threw her off-script. During her speech in Reno, her response to the disruption spiraled into the usual pattern—repeated phrases, empty lines, and confusing loops.

It started with Harris trying to regain control: “Let me say something about this,” she declared, only to launch into an awkward attempt at a rallying cry. “We are here because we are fighting for a democracy. Fighting for a democracy.” She then rattled off more of her trademark verbal fillers, “understand the difference here,” “moving forward,” and “freedom of choice,” while the audience—half confused, half amused—watched as she struggled to keep her composure. She capped it all with, “That’s OK, that’s alright,” as her supporters drowned out the heckling, trying to smooth over the chaos.

As expected, the Trump campaign and conservative critics on social media wasted no time in highlighting her floundering moment. Trump advisor Stephen Miller went straight for the jugular, calling out her “CRACKS UNDER PRESSURE” and labeling her inability to handle interruptions as “not a quality you want in the commander-in-chief.” And the punches kept coming, with conservatives online dubbing her the “Word Salad Queen” and Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce remarking that “the gibberish never ends.” To them, Harris’s performance was yet another example of her lack of substance and inability to handle even mild criticism.

Meanwhile, as Harris was busy delivering her “pledge” to voters in Nevada, her campaign team rolled out celebrity endorsements, including an emotional Jennifer Lopez. The pop star took the stage at Harris’s rally in Las Vegas, shedding tears as she condemned Trump’s alleged remarks about Puerto Rico. Lopez claimed that Trump’s comments were an insult to “every Latino in this country” and called on voters to rally behind Harris. It’s almost as if she’s putting on an Emmy performance…oh wait- she is, but she won’t get an Emmy for that acting.

But in a twist of irony, Lopez’s own controversies overshadowed her plea. Just days earlier, she dodged questions about her ex, Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces serious criminal charges. For critics, Lopez’s tears at Harris’s rally rang hollow, given her silence on the disgusting allegations surrounding Combs. Allegations from when she was involved with Diddy.

And let’s be real here—Harris’s new star-studded circle isn’t exactly raising her credibility. Her roster of celebrity supporters reads more like a list of entertainment industry regulars with baggage of their own. From Eminem to Usher to Beyonce, these aren’t exactly the faces you’d expect to see standing behind a “common ground” candidate. And that’s not lost on voters who are questioning if this is the type of leadership they want in the White House.

Kamala has also surrounded herself with the likes of Beyonce, Usher, Eminem…see a pattern. All Diddy attenders, and genuinely not good role models to say the least. I think that speaks for itself when you’re looking to vote.

At the end of the day, this Nevada rally might be another misstep for Harris. Her stilted, repetitive speeches, celebrity endorsements riddled with controversy, and her tendency to fumble in the spotlight doesn’t inspire the confidence her campaign desperately needs. And as Election Day looms, the image of Harris struggling to deliver a clear message is something many voters are going to remember. This isn’t what most Americans envision in a vice president, let alone a potential future president.

So, as Harris’s campaign looks to celebrities and rehearsed rhetoric to try and secure votes, it’s worth asking: is this really the kind of leadership we need for the next four years? For those paying attention, the answer is looking clearer by the day.
