Vice President Harris Accidentally Calls Herself President

Slip of the Tongue or Freudian Slip?

Well, folks, it seems our esteemed Vice President Kamala Harris has once again found herself in the spotlight, and not for the reasons her PR team would hope. During a somber occasion meant to honor the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Harris managed to inject a moment of unintended levity by referring to herself as “president.” Now, before we dive into the details, let’s take a moment to appreciate the irony of a verbal gaffe during a eulogy for a politician known for her own colorful moments in the public eye. But enough with the quips – let’s get down to brass tacks and examine the public’s reaction to this latest Harris headline.

The Slip-Up Heard ‘Round the World’

During her eulogy for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in Houston, Vice President Harris was highlighting the late congresswoman’s work on making Juneteenth a federal holiday. In what was likely meant to be a seamless transition from her past role as a senator to her current position, Harris stumbled:

Quickly realizing her mistake, Harris corrected herself, but not before the crowd erupted in cheers and applause. The vice president then smoothly transitioned:

“As vice president it was my honor – with the president! With the president!” – Kamala Harris

Public and Social Media Response

The incident quickly sparked a flurry of reactions across social media platforms. Some viewers saw it as a simple slip of the tongue, while others interpreted it as a Freudian slip revealing Harris’s true ambitions. Conservative commentators were quick to pounce on the gaffe, using it to fuel existing narratives about Harris’s competence and the Biden administration’s leadership.

Remembering Sheila Jackson Lee

Despite the slip-up, it’s important to note that the purpose of Harris’s speech was to honor Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who passed away on July 19 at age 74. Harris spoke warmly of her relationship with the late congresswoman:

“Sheila Jackson Lee was a woman of deep faith and deep compassion. She was a proud member of our beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated and she was a dear, dear friend to my husband Doug and me,” – Kamala Harris

The vice president also highlighted Jackson Lee’s legacy and impact on American politics, emphasizing her role in making Juneteenth a federal holiday and her tireless advocacy for her constituents.
