'She is drunk in every speech': Kamala Harris ridiculed after Desi Lydic takes aim at her 'word salad' speeches in hilarious roast

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of 'The Daily Show', Vice President Kamala Harris found herself at the center of harsh ridicule as correspondent Desi Lydic hilariously lampooned her penchant for what was dubbed "word salads."

The skit, aired on Tuesday, took a playful jab at Harris' tendency to deliver speeches that sometimes leave listeners scratching their heads.

Desi Lydic introduces 'Dahlia Rose Hibiscus'

Lydic introduced a fictitious character named Dahlia Rose Hibiscus, portrayed as Harris' "holistic thought adviser." With candles flickering in the background and a vision board in sight, Hibiscus elaborated on her unconventional approach to advising the Vice President.

"It means that I am the one by whom the thoughts are being advised, from a place of advisement. And then once advised, communicated, holistically," she says in the skit.

"It’s a process I call speaking without thinking," she quipped, emphasizing the importance of the journey over the destination when it comes to expressing thoughts.

'Dahlia Rose Hibiscus' explains Kamala Harris' unorthodox speech patterns

The skit cleverly spliced together clips of Harris' real speeches, showcasing instances where she appeared to ramble or repeat herself. One notable snippet featured Harris telling an audience, "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you."

Hibiscus, portrayed as a whimsical character, further explained her method of crafting Harris' speeches. "It’s not about the destination of the thought, it’s about the journey and how many words you use to describe the journey," she continued. She humorously described a ritual involving a "word cave," where she throws around words to discern their cosmic order, emphasizing the feeling they evoke over their literal meaning. "The feeling they give you is so much more powerful than what they mean," she says.

Critics who demand clarity in Harris' speeches were humorously dismissed by Hibiscus, who preferred leaving the Vice President's thoughts open to interpretation, likening them to abstract art pieces. "I prefer to leave Kamala’s thoughts open to interpretation, like a work of modern art that you look at and go, ‘I wonder what that was all about?'" she explained.

Kamala Harris and 'Veep'

This isn't the first time 'The Daily Show' has poked fun at Harris' speech patterns. A previous video posted to the show's X account in 2022 drew comparisons between Harris and Selina Meyer, a satirical character from HBO's 'Veep'.

The video juxtaposed clips from 'Veep' with real speeches by Harris, highlighting amusing parallels in their delivery.

For instance, one clip showed Harris addressing an audience at the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC, stating, "When we talk about the children of the community, they are the children of the community."

This was followed by a clip of Meyer from 'Veep' articulating a similarly circular point about the United States being united because it's comprised of states.
