Former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered an unusual speech about snack food delivery during a major artificial intelligence conference in Las Vegas.
According to The Western Journal, Harris shared a lengthy anecdote about ordering Doritos through DoorDash while watching the Oscars, attempting to connect the experience to broader AI trends and consumer demands.
The former vice president's remarks at the HumanX conference on Sunday left many attendees and social media users bewildered as she tried to link her personal chip-ordering experience to artificial intelligence innovations. Her meandering story about nacho cheese Doritos lasted over two and a half minutes, during which she attempted to connect convenience food delivery to topics like scientific discoveries and affordable housing solutions.
Social media platforms erupted with criticism and confusion following Harris's speech. Many users expressed relief that she was no longer in office, with one commenter noting the incident demonstrated why her departure from leadership was beneficial.
The former vice president's attempt to pivot from snack food to serious policy matters struck many as disconnected and poorly conceived. Her transition from discussing DoorDash tracking to affordable housing left audience members struggling to follow her logic.
Here's what Harris said during her speech:
So I was willing to give up whatever might be the tracking of Kamala Harris' particular fondness for nacho cheese Doritos for the sake of getting a big bag of Doritos as I watched the Oscars.
Critics pointed to this latest public speaking incident as evidence of ongoing concerns about Harris's qualifications for high office. Some suggested her selection as vice president was based more on demographic considerations than leadership abilities.
The speech highlighted persistent issues with Harris's public communication style that plagued her throughout her vice presidency. Her tendency to deliver confusing explanations of complex topics became a recurring theme during her term.
One social media user captured the general sentiment with this observation:
Every time you hear Kamala Harris talk, you think it's not real. Yet somehow, it's real and it is exactly has bad as it actually is. We dodged a massive bullet in 2024.
The AI conference speech follows a pattern of similar public speaking moments that characterized Harris's vice presidency. Her previous attempts to explain complicated policy matters often resulted in similarly confusing presentations.
The incident reinforced existing criticisms about her communication style and ability to effectively convey ideas to audiences. Her tendency to meander through explanations and create unusual analogies remained consistent even after leaving office.
These speaking engagements continue to generate discussion about her previous role in national leadership. Many observers view them as validation of concerns raised during her term as vice president.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris's appearance at the HumanX AI conference in Las Vegas became notable for her extended discussion about ordering Doritos through DoorDash while watching the Oscars. The speech, which attempted to connect snack food delivery to artificial intelligence innovation and affordable housing policy, sparked widespread reaction on social media and renewed discussion about her communication style and qualifications for high office. The incident served as a reminder of similar moments during her vice presidency, where attempts to explain complex topics often resulted in confusing presentations.
