Conservatives were making hay about Kamala Harris’ latest “word salad” at a campaign event in Pennsylvania, where, in an attempt to sound intelligent, she went on about the “duality of democracy.”

“They took Kamala off the teleprompter today in Pennsylvania,” Outkick.com founder Clay Travis posted on X. “It didn’t go well.”

But conservatives have it wrong. It’s actually much worse than that.

Harris has been uttering this particular word salad for years – robotically, using almost the exact same phraseology, and at almost any public event where she was allowed to speak, whether or not it was relevant.


Here’s what Harris said in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

We know there’s a duality to the nature of democracy. On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact; what it does for its people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty, and their freedom — incredibly strong. And incredibly fragile. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it.

Here’s what Harris said at a security conference in Munich back in February 2022.

And — and then, when we think about the election and in the context of that, we must understand the duality of the nature of democracy.
On the one hand, it’s very strong in its nature, in terms of what it does to protect individual rights and freedoms. And there’s great strength in that.

And on the other hand, it’s very fragile. It will only be as strong as our willingness to fight for it. And this is one of those moments in time.

And what Harris said DNC Winter Meeting in April 2022:

And we must always remember the duality of a democracy in that, yes, there is strength. But a democracy by its nature is also fragile, meaning it will only be intact if we fight for it and never take it for granted and be vigilant with a sense of clarity every day.

And a “moderated conversation on reproductive rights” in April 2023:

And we must always remember the duality of a democracy in that, yes, there is strength. But a democracy by its nature is also fragile, meaning it will only be intact if we fight for it and never take it for granted and be vigilant with a sense of clarity every day.

And in an interview with the New York Times last November:

And — and then, when we think about the election and in the context of that, we must understand the duality of the nature of democracy.

On the one hand, it’s very strong in its nature, in terms of what it does to protect individual rights and freedoms. And there’s great strength in that.

And on the other hand, it’s very fragile. It will only be as strong as our willingness to fight for it. And this is one of those moments in time

There are many, many, many other examples.
