Political commentators and other social media users criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for remarks that she gave during a campaign event and interview with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday night. 

“We love our country,” Harris said. “I love our country. I know we all do, that’s why everybody’s here right now. We love our country. We take pride in the privilege of being American and this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us. Let’s come together with the character that we are so proud of about who we are, which is we are an optimistic people. We are an optimistic people.” 

Harris spoke with Winfrey at the “Unite for America Rally,” a livestream event featuring several celebrities as well as questions and stories from citizens across the country.

“Americans by character are people who have dreams and ambitions and aspirations,” Harris said, continuing her comments.

“We believe in what is possible, we believe in what can be, and we believe in fighting for that. That’s how we came into being, because the people before us understood that one of the greatest expressions for the love of our country, one of the greatest expressions of patriotism is to fight for the ideals of who we are, which includes freedom to make decisions about your own body, freedom to be safe from gun violence, freedom to have access to the ballot box, freedom to be who you are and just be the love, who you love, openly and with pride. Freedom to just be.”

Critics online accused the vice president of offering rambling commentary that didn’t seem to have much substance. 

“Oprah is looking at this moron thinking, “What the sh*t is she saying?” Unbelievable CRINGE,” author Juanita Broaddrick wrote on Thursday.

“The fact that she is within 20 points of Trump is a depressingly sad commentary on the state of our body politic and the media that poisons it,,” attorney David Limbaugh wrote. “Stunning.”

“To call this pablum is an insult to pablum,” ReaclClearPolitics co-founder Tom Bevan said on Friday.

“This might just be the most spectacular two minutes of Kamala’s nonsensical wisdom I have ever heard,” political commentator Kate Hyde wrote on Thursday.

Writer Steve Skojec also responded to the video on Thursday: “I can’t. I can’t do it. I made it 17 seconds and I just cannot continue.”

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
