Must Watch: Daily Show Mercilessly Mock VP Harris and Her Word Salads
Comedy Central’s far-left “The Daily Show” took on Vice President Kamala Harris’s penchant for delivering word salads during public speeches and interviews and the show actually threaded the needle.
The program, known for picking on conservatives, shared some of the VP’s most notable and head-scratching anecdotes and packaged them as though they were planned by a secret adviser to her who helps Harris make as little sense as possible.
The show roasted Harris in a three-minute and 42-second segment called “Meet the ‘Holistic Thought Advisor’ Behind Kamala Harris’s Speeches.”
During the bit, “Daily Show” correspondent Desi Lydic played a character called “Dahlia Rose Hibiscus” whose sole purpose in the Biden administration is to assist Harris in making herself appear foolish.
The vice president is known for bizarre comments that leave audiences confused and Ms. “Hibiscus” claimed to have the answer.
In her segment, Lydic aired a couple of them, including the time Harris declared, “You need to get to go, and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work – and get home.”
Another Harris lowlight shared by the show was when she stated, “It is time for us to get to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.”
The show naturally played Harris’ infamous “passage of time” remarks from Louisiana in March 2022 in which she stated:
“The Governor and I and we were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time. Right? The significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires…”
Lydic finished airing clips of Harris and her word salads and in the character of Hibiscus claimed she was behind the vice president’s public speaking troubles.

While in character, the comedian said Harris had come “far” on her journey to becoming an abhorrent public speaker.
“I lead the vice president on not so much sentences as idea voyages,” Lydic’s character said while “The Daily Show” presented an “ad lib” sheet that it implied Harris uses to make absurd and nonsensical statements.
“It’s a process I call speaking without thinking,” Lydic said in character. “It’s not about the destination of the thought, it’s about the journey and how many words you use to describe the journey.”
Lydic’s character said once she receives a completed speech ready for Harris to deliver, she cuts out every word and retreats to a “word cave” which she can use to determine “what order the universe wants them to be in.”
“I hear the counterarguments all the time; people should be able to understand what their leaders are saying when they talk,” The comedian concluded.
“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.’”
With “The Daily Show” now actively targeting an unpopular vice president just months before a presidential election, it begs one question about what the show’s writers are angling for here.
Is the writing room undermining Harris and her boss President Joe Biden with the hope a more popular set of candidates will represent the Democratic Party on the ballot in November?
The country’s far left is calculated, so the fact that one of the DNC’s largest mouthpieces is going after Harris without mercy right now should be eyed with suspicion.
But no matter their rationale for trashing Harris, the segment is hilarious and worth a watch.
The sad part is that the theory that Harris would hire a “holistic” advisor to help her speak is believable.
