Kamala Harris goes viral for another bus gaffe

In the past, Vice President Kamala Harris has gone viral for gushing about her esoteric interests, like Venn diagrams.

Earlier this month, Harris continued the pattern. She ranted about another one of her interests: school buses.

During a panel on energy, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm asked Harris,  “What is the technology that you are excited about?”

Harris said, in front of an applauding crowd. “So much of that — I mean, how could you not be excited, especially if you listen to Jennifer Granholm? I — you know, what also excites me, when I — among the many things? I’m excited about electric school buses.”

She continued, “I love electric school buses. I just love them for so many reasons. Maybe because I went to school on a school bus. Raise your hand if you went to school on a school bus. Right? Electric school buses.”

Oddly enough, Harris had made a similar remark in October.

“So, here’s the thing. Who doesn’t love a yellow school bus, right? Can you raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus, right? There’s something about — Most of us, many of us went to school on a yellow school bus, right? And it’s part of our experience,” Harris said at the time.

Perhaps the vice president has developed a fascination with buses, like her fascination with Venn diagrams.

Then again, Harris has amassed a history with buses. At a presidential debate in 2019, she slammed rival candidate Joe Biden for his stance on federally mandated busing in the 1970s. During that same campaign, she went viral for marveling at her campaign’s bus.
