Kamala Whispers ‘It’s A Live Broadcast’ During Televised Briefing

 On a C-Span broadcast in which she appeared with five other people to discuss Hurricane Milton, Vice President Kamala Harris covered her mouth while Ken Graham, the Director of the National Weather Service, was speaking, and muttered to the person speaking to her, “It’s a live broadcast.”

Harris was joined by Graham, Michael Brennan, Director of the National Hurricane Center, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, and Admiral Linda Fagan of the Coast Guard. When Graham finished, Harris offered, “Hey, Ken, I have a question for you. You mentioned ‘words matter,’ and I know there is a lot of media following this briefing. So there have been, um … we’ve gone from a Cat 5 to a Cat 4 and the language a lot of folks have been using is ‘downgrade,’ but it sounds like you’re cautioning us that that may communicate a sense that the danger is lessened when, in fact, it’s not. Can you talk a little bit about that, ‘cause I know a lot of folks are watching right now and would love to have your feedback on how we should be talking about this.”

On Wednesday, Harris bragged on X that she had been working “around the clock to prepare for Hurricane Milton and to ensure that federal, state, and local resources are being coordinated in an efficient and effective way.”

 

Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany fired back, “You have been ‘working around the clock to prepare for Hurricane Milton’? Yesterday, you spent the day filming The View, Howard Stern, and Colbert. Today, you called into the hurricane briefing virtually. At least come up with a talking point that is believable!”

On Wednesday, just as Hurricane Milton was about to strike Florida’s west coast, Harris appeared on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show, hoisted a beer, and posted a photo of herself with Colbert and her beer, writing, “Cheers.”
