Critics were quick to jump and attack VP Kamala Harris on Monday, after she claimed American voters ‘got what they asked for’ when they elected her and President Biden.
Harris made this statement during a celebration for Black History Month, taking a moment to celebrate Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Jackson, the first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court.
Harris stated, “Elections matter and when folks vote, they order what they want. In this case they got what they asked for. I guess I went off script a bit.”
“I felt such pride and such hope this past Friday when President Joe Biden nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson,” Harris told those gathered for the event.
Critics jumped to social media to blast Harris, with some listing what they saw as the administration’s numerous failures, and others predicting a defeat for Democrats in the November midterm elections.
“The American people didn’t ask for any of this: Record Inflation, Record border crisis, Closed schools. A war on American energy, Afghanistan disaster, Russia invasion of Ukraine,” wrote Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, while former White House press secretary and Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Sarah Sanders called the Biden administration a “complete and total failure.”
“So she’s confirming those who voted for Biden and her wanted Russia to invade Ukraine?”, Ross Schumann tweeted.
“Biden has a 37% approval rating in the recent ABC poll. People didn’t ask for this. She is a terrible politician,” former Trump 2020 campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh wrote, while other critics predicted Harris’ comments would be used as campaign fodder for Republican campaigns across the country.
Harris’ comments came as Americans’ approval of the Biden administration’s job performance reached its lowest point since taking office, with one recent poll showing Biden with a 37% approval rating.
Harris, who faced an exodus of staff members at the beginning of the year, has also been plagued by historically low job performance ratings, with the Real Clear Politics average of all the most recent national surveys giving her a 37.5% approval rating and a 51% disapproval rating through Feb. 24.
Americans have also given the administration failing grades when it comes to its handling of the economy after inflation hit its highest rate in 40 years in January.
Actually, those who did vote for Biden/Harris got exactly what they voted for, just not what they thought they were voting for.
Voting, what a joke!
