A video recently shared by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, following her loss to Donald Trump in the presidential race, has ignited a fresh wave of controversy. The video, which comes after her concession speech at Howard University, has drawn sharp criticism from some corners, with detractors going so far as to label her a “functioning alcoholic.”

In the video, Harris addressed her supporters with a tone of candid vulnerability, acknowledging the challenges of the moment. “I know this is an uncertain time. I’m clear-eyed about that. I know you’re clear-eyed about it, and it feels heavy,” she said, reflecting on the weight of the situation.

While her supporters viewed the video as an earnest and relatable message during a difficult time, critics focused on her demeanor, fueling a divisive narrative that has added another layer of scrutiny to her public image. The controversy has further polarized opinions, highlighting the heightened emotions and stakes surrounding the post-election landscape.

In an effort to rally and encourage her supporters after her recent defeat, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a message urging Democrats to remain resilient and focused. “I just have to remind you, don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you,” she said. “You have the same power that you did before November 5th, and you have the same purpose, the same ability to engage and inspire.” Harris also highlighted a significant achievement of the campaign, noting, “Because of your efforts, we raised a historic $1.4 billion from grassroots supporters alone.”

However, the video quickly became a target for criticism, with some Republicans and Harris detractors accusing her of sounding incoherent, even speculating that she might have been intoxicated. North Carolina Representative Virginia Foxx mocked the speech, saying, “The dial-up modem sound played on an infinite loop is more bearable than 28 seconds of whatever this is.” A Trump aide added fuel to the fire on social media, commenting, “I’d read a 5,000-word article on how this got approved for release.”

The mixed reactions to the video reflect the highly polarized atmosphere in the wake of the contentious election, with Harris’ message drawing both support and sharp derision.

“No video like this would ever have been released by a politician who is not hated by her staff,” Dan McLaughlin, a writer for National Review, commented.

“Kamala Harris appears to be a functioning alcoholic who almost became President of America. Meanwhile America is about to give another $24,000,000,000 to a barely functioning Cocaine Addict who’s in charge of Ukraine. Absolute clown world,” wrote a user.
