Kamala Harris seems to have a knack for turning even the simplest of photo ops into a circus worthy of a laugh track. During a recent visit to a semiconductor plant in Michigan, the Vice President’s attempt to touch “shiny” silicon nearly turned into a visit to the emergency room. One might think a seasoned politician would understand the concept of looking but not touching, but Harris clearly didn’t get the memo.
As she approached what was described as a harvested U-rod, the allure of the shiny object was too much for Harris to resist. With her hand hovering dramatically, she asked the factory worker if she could touch it. The worker, likely wishing he had a safety net nearby, quickly responded with a firm warning to keep her paws away from the potentially dangerous “poly.” Apparently, the Vice President couldn’t resist the glimmering trappings of the modern age, even if they were razor sharp.

Kamala: "And shiny! 😃"

In yet another episode reminiscent of her extensive “experience” in the political realm, Harris seemed oblivious to the risks. Despite multiple reminders about the sharpness of the silicon, she amusingly remarked on its shine. Let’s hope she doesn’t try to pet a cactus next—one shudders to think what might happen then. Her fascination with what can only be described as a shiny kitchen countertop isn’t going to win her any points in the campaign trail though.
As if that wasn’t enough, it appears that her campaign is in a downward spiral. Polls show Harris struggling significantly, especially among Hispanic voters in crucial swing states. While the rest of America is focusing on real issues, she’s busy getting snared in the glint of silicon rods. The ad buying reduction in states like North Carolina isn’t exactly a sign of confidence; it’s closer to throwing in the towel.
This episode serves as a fitting metaphor for Harris’s overall campaign: shiny on the outside but with a potential for disaster lurking just beneath. As the election cycle heats up, it becomes increasingly clear that Harris and her team might want to swap out the shiny objects for a bit of substance before they trip over yet another mishap.
