Harris mocked for new word salad, saying spy balloon 'not helpful' for U.S.-China relations: 'Master of words'

Twitter users ridiculed Kamala Harris on Friday for her latest word salad stating that Chinese spy balloon entering U.S. airspace was "not helpful."

Twitter users mocked Vice President Kamala Harris for another meandering, wordy answer that ended with her claiming that the Chinese spy balloon that the U.S. shot down in its airspace was "not helpful" for U.S.-China relations.

Puzzled internet users berated the Vice President for the awkward and soft phrasing she used to describe a major geopolitical threat to the United States.

Harris’ latest bit of eyebrow-raising rhetoric happened during a recent MSNBC exclusive interview with MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell. During the segment, Harris discussed the balloon incident and America's current relationship with China after the spy balloon was shot down near South Carolina.

The first notable aspect of the Vice President's balloon discussion was that it featured another awkward word salad that she’s become known for. The second was that it included a strange description of the threat posed by the spy balloon itself.

She stated, "We will maintain the perspective that we have in terms of what should be the relationship between China and the United States. That is not going to change, but surely and certainly that balloon was not helpful, which is why we shot it down."

Earlier this week, Harris insisted she believed that the Chinese spy balloon invading U.S. airspace should not affect the relation between the two countries. When asked by Politico Tuesday whether the balloon had changed things, she replied, "I don’t think so, no."
