US Vice President and Democratic party Presidential nominee is under scrutiny once again due to her recent briefing session on Hurricane Milton briefing session with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (
Fema
).
During the meeting, Harris covered her mouth and appeared to tell staff she was on a live broadcast, "It’s a live broadcast," she said.
The incident occurred nearly 20 minutes after Harris struggled through a speech directed at Floridians.
"To the people of Florida, and in particular, the people of the Tampa region: We urge you to take this storm seriously," she said. "As has been said before, this is a storm that is expected to be of historic proportions. And many of you, I know are tough… and you’ve ridden out these hurricanes before. This one’s going to be different,” she added.
MAGA
was quick to attack the VP over her stumbles, with some calling the meeting ‘Total incompetence on full display,’ with others claiming, ‘She looks like she's trying to talk into an earpiece.’
US President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris had a briefing session on Hurricane Milton update with disaster relief authorities from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema).
The session was on life-saving preparedness for Hurricane Milton. Both of them also received the forecast updates and expected impacts for Florida, according to Fox News.
The meeting featured several blunders from Harris. Throughout the meeting, she kept on looking down multiple times, as if referencing her notes or scripts.
While Biden attended the meeting from the White House, Harris and others attended virtually.
Hurricane Milton intensified to Category 5 strength multiple times over the past two days before making landfall as a Category 3 storm Wednesday night in the Siesta Key area of Tampa, Florida.
