Kampallawalla Ding Dong mocked for giving childlike explanation of the Ukrainian war
During an appearance on the syndicated “Morning Hustle” radio program, Harris was asked by co-host Headkrack to explain the conflict “in layman’s terms for people who don’t understand what’s going on and how can this directly affect the people of the United States?”
Speaking slowly, Harris began, “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.”
“It exists next to another country called Russia,” she continued. “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.”
Conservative critics laid into the vice president on social media Tuesday over her overly simplistic explanation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with one commenter comparing it to an episode of children’s TV program “Peppa Pig.”
UPDATE! I missed this bit when I first posted. I apologize if I left the reader with the impression that our second in command isn’t on top of her game and ready to step up should our leader falter.
We threatened sanctions to hopefully deter Russia from going in. Basically, like if you’re a parent and you tell your children, ‘Well, if you do this, the punishment is going to be that,’ right? And we hope that by doing that, it will deter our children from doing the wrong thing,” she said.
