Conservatives roast Harris for yet another 'word salad' after US-Russia prisoner swap

Vice President Kamala Harris became the target of Republican ridicule again Friday after delivering rambling and repetitive remarks on the U.S. prisoner exchange with Russia.

President Biden and Harris met with Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine Corps veteran Paul Whelan and others at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland around midnight after the freed Americans landed safely on U.S. soil. Biden has called the prisoner exchange with Russia, the largest in post-Cold War history, a "feat of diplomacy."

Harris echoed those remarks in her comments on the tarmac, celebrating the president and his historic accomplishment. "This is an extraordinary day, and I'm very thankful for our president and what he has done over his entire career, but in particular as it relates to these families and these individuals," she said.

The 24-person swap was the culmination of difficult negotiations between Washington, D.C., and Moscow, which involved six countries releasing at least one prisoner each and a seventh, Turkey, hosting the exchange in Ankara. Harris said the deal demonstrates the importance of having a president who is experienced in diplomacy, in so many words and more.

"This is just extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy, and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances," she said.

GOP critics and conservative media figures were quick to point to these remarks as yet another instance of Harris offering up a "word salad" when she is unguided by a teleprompter.
