Kamala Harris’ new website mocks her word salad after gaffe-prone campaign

Many U.S. citizens were not at all surprised as they had become familiar with Ms Harris’s previous gaffes.

The error message displayed on the website of the former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris sparked a frenzy across various social media platforms Friday evening given its content was a word salad — similar to the gaffes that characterised the erstwhile VP’s failed presidential campaign.

She launched the website after her term ended on January 20, urging people from her social media page to stay in touch with her via the website.

“404. This page is unburdened by what has been,” read the word-salad error message on Ms Kamala’s new website.

A word salad is a set of incoherent words or phrases that is difficult to understand and – in most cases— lack actual meaning.

This error message that apparently mocked the most famous of her many unintelligible words in recent years appeared to have been inserted by those managing the site for her.

Many U.S. citizens, particularly Republicans, were not at all surprised as they had become familiar with Ms Harris’s previous gaffes.

As the wildfires devoured homes and other landed properties in Los Angeles in January, Ms Harris praised the firefighters with her signature word salad.

“We went and visited World Central Kitchen. I mean, the volunteers who were there, some of them who lost their own homes, are there doing the work of taking care of perfect strangers, who, in the face of that stranger, they see a neighbour,” said Ms Harris on January 21.

A week before then, she served another word salad when she asked the wildfire victims to exercise patience in thr middle of the crisis.

“It’s critically important that, to the extent you can find anything that gives you the ability to be patient in this extremely dangerous and unprecedented crisis, that you do,” Ms Harrris said in another event in January.

In September 2024 while trying to court voters at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 47th Annual Leadership, she said “children of the community are the children of the community,” a remark that fuelled trolls and narratives that her statements were too repetitive in nature and that they often lacked any actual substance.

“I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community, and we should all have a vested interest in ensuring that children can go grow up with the resources that they need to achieve their God-given potential.”

Paul A. Szypula, former U.S. Senate candidate,then mocked Ms Harris saying, “Kamala is reminding America why she is now unemployed.”

It was unclear if her team had been informed, the screenshot has been circulating on social media for about a day and even Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr are posting about it.

Checks by Peoples Gazette on the site Saturday afternoon showed that the site was running again.

Still, Republicans and Ms Harris’s critics are milking the word-salad to throw jabs at former veep.
