Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized online after the Democratic Party posted a video of her on Tuesday evening that many on social media said showed what appeared to be her in an inebriated state.
“I just have to remind you, don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you,” Harris said in a video address to her supporters.
“You have the same power that you did before November 5th and you have the same purpose that you did and you have the same ability to engage and inspire,” she continued. “So don’t ever let anybody or circumstance take your power from you.”

Thousands of users on X speculated that Harris had been drinking based on the way she appeared while making the remarks.
“Honestly I saw a lot of the chatter about Kamala and alcohol over the last year and didn’t pay much mind but … wow yeah she’s wasted,” said author Bethany S. Mandel. “I understand that whoever did this did it as revenge. But here’s what I take from it: She’s got a problem. And Democrats knew it and put her up anyway. Just like they knew that Biden had a problem and covered it up. They created a trust deficit that will take years to regain.”
Trump adviser Tim Murtaugh posted on X: “Take some time to reflect on the fact that they posted this on purpose.”

“She’s totally hosed,” said political commentator Jack Posobiec.
“I’m not sure you guys want to be amplifying this,” said media analyst Joe Concha. “There’s something, ummmm, off with the vice president.”
“She looks like she just got back from a three week bender,” said journalist Jordan Schachtel.
“She looks, and sounds, smashed,” said writer John Podhoretz. “And you know it.”
