'Clueless' Kamala Harris gives Christmas shopping advice but mum on Afghan crisis

Social media called the Biden administration a 'joke' after Harris said nothing about the Afghanistan debacle in a meeting with business leaders

Kamala Harris said on Monday, August 23, how parents might need to do their Christmas shopping during a roundtable conference with business leaders in Singapore. Harris reportedly discussed Christmas and climate change but failed to talk about the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan since the Taliban took over weeks ago. Addressing the business leaders she was talking to, Harris warned that climate change and the pandemic had drastically impacted supply chain issues. And this has prompted the internet to dub Harris as a #MajorFail.

Harris has been slammed recently for running off to Singapore as Afghanistan continues to burn amidst the Taliban takeover. Both she and President Joe Biden has been dumped with intense social media backlash for being MIA as thousands of Americans continue to remain trapped in Afghanistan. Desperate Afghans have also pleaded the president to rescue them, fearing the Taliban will murder them, while the insurgent group continues to threaten "consequences" if the US and UK fail to meet the August 31 deadline for evacuating all troops.

As the humongous humanitarian crisis unfolds, it seems odd to many that Harris would go on and on about issues like lack of supply of gift items during the holiday season. According to the New York Times, Harris told the conference: "The stories that we are now hearing about the caution that if you want to have Christmas toys for your children, it might now be might be the time to start buying them, because the delay may be many, many months. So across the board, people are experiencing the issue. And, of course, the climate crisis is fueling a lot of this. When we look at the stronger typhoons that have disrupted shipping lanes and sea level rise, which threatens port infrastructure as an example. So these are the many issues that are causing these disruptions."

The veep, who kicked off her week-long Asia tour on Sunday, August 24, also warned China's 'coercion' and 'intimidation' at the South China sea with a stern reminder that the US will support its allies in the region. However, one user wrote: "Our@VP #KamalaHarris addressing the issue of “ When to Buy Christmas Presents” as the “ If I don’t see it its not Real “ .. in all that is right can this be happening ? America in chaos another country spinning and this individual is given the task of giving advice on Christmas" They added: "@VP Speaks about the pressing issue of when to buy your Christmas Presents as another country burns and America spirals with violence inflation border crisis … TRAGIC FOOLS"

Another user angrily claimed: "So @VP said to buy #Christmas presents now? How much #stupidity can exist in @POTUS @JoeBiden #administration? #FixTheProblem or #RESIGN! YOU WANTED THIS JOB NOW DO YOUR DAMN JOB! Or step aside and let someone else do it! #BidenMustResign #BidenIsADisgrace #HarrisIsADisgrace" One more complained: "This "Administration" is an absolute joke. Everything that's going on in the world and this clueless putz is talking about Christmas presents."
