In the world of politics, a running joke has emerged about Kamala Harris and her supposed penchant for indulgence. While the claim remains unverified, her speech often exudes a certain *je ne sais quoi* that can leave listeners questioning her sobriety.
Recently, a radio host from WPHT in Philadelphia decided to experiment by slowing down a recording of Harris reading from her own book by a staggering 30 percent. The resulting audio turned out to be pure comedic gold, captivating listeners and circulating widely across social media.
The Daily Caller even took note:
In a delightful twist, a talk radio show in Philadelphia aired a clipped version of Harris’ audiobook slowed down dramatically. The outcome was side-splitting, as it sounded remarkably like Harris had enjoyed a few drinks before recording. Her drawn-out enunciation is often a telltale sign that she might be a bit under the influence.
Back in July, Harris took to TikTok to dispel the rumors of her supposedly lazing about with cocktails during her time out of the public eye.
“Everyone thinks you’ve been kicking back, drinking margaritas on the beach, but really, you’ve been hard at work writing a book, meeting with leaders, and contemplating our nation’s future,” she cooed, referencing a quirky TikTok trend that encourages users to deliver outrageous statements while obscuring their mouths.
While it’s likely that Harris wasn’t tipsy during the actual recording, one can’t help but feel empathy for someone attempting to promote a book that appears, at best, uninspired. In fact, the experience of reading it might be akin to enduring a slow form of torture without the aid of liquid courage.
Could it be that Kamala Harris had a drink or two while recording her audiobook? This is a laugh! HILARIOUS! @stuntbrain was ON FIRE on today’s Kayal and Co! @NickKayal @DawnStensland @MattRooneyNJ @GREGSTOCKER @AlmquistOnAir pic.twitter.com/dIijccL9ZK

Perhaps Kamala should think about pivoting from politics to the entertainment industry. After all, the ability to entertain is just as valuable as political clout in today’s media-centric world.
