Vice President Kamala Harris was mocked on Thursday over a video showing her trying to define “culture.”
Harris was speaking on June 30 at the 2023 Essence Festival of Culture to discuss issues like abortion and small business growth. Harris was then asked to define “culture.”
“Culture is – it is a reflection of our moment and our time, right? And present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment. That is a reflection of joy ‘cause you know — it comes in the morning,” the vice president said before she began to laugh.

“We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life. And I think about it in that way, too.”
Twitter users immediately mocked Harris, with radio host Chris Stigall saying she is the “emptiest human being alive.”
“Sincerely. Empty. Vapid. Nonsense.”
