President Joe Biden has become notorious for his long history of making bizarre and nonsensical comments. However, Biden isn't the only member of his administration whose words are often mocked.
As Townhall contributor Matt Vespa pointed out in an article published this weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris regularly says things that leave critics scratching their heads.
Vespa began by recalling a speech that Harris gave this past summer in Highland Park, Illinois following a mass shooting there.
"We gotta take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are, because you have been forced to have take it seriously," the vice president told reporters.

An earlier example came in December of 2021 when Harris tried to defend the White House's inflation record to CBS News host Margaret Brennan.
When asked by Brennan whether it was "wrong to consider inflation transitory," the vice president replied, "We have to address the fact that we have got to deal with the fact that folks are paying for gas, paying for groceries, and are -- need solutions to it."

Harris offered another puzzling remark when addressing the administration's COVID strategy during an interview this month with NBC News.
"It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down," she insisted.

Then there was Harris' strange attempt in an interview this past spring to explain the details surrounding Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"So Ukraine is a country in Europe," Harris declared. "It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that’s wrong."
OH… MY… GOD
Q: “What’s going on in Ukraine?”
Kamala: “Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine so basically that’s wrong.”
