[WATCH] Kamala Harris Cluelessly Claps To Song Protesting Her Puerto Rico Visit
Kamala Harris smiled and clapped at a song performed in Spanish during her visit to Puerto Rico.
However‚ Harris suddenly stopped her clueless clapping and nodding once an aid apparently informed her the meaning of the lyrics.
“Kamala Harris unknowingly claps along with a song in Spanish protesting *her* during her visit to Puerto Rico. Harris may be the dumbest VP in the history of our country. Harris kept clapping until an aide told her what they were saying‚” Collin Rugg writes.
“We want to know‚ Kamala‚ what did you come here for? We want to know. The vice president is here making history. We want to know what she thinks of the colony‚” a man sang.
“Long live Free Palestine and Haiti‚ too.”

From the New York Post:
The vice president‚ 59‚ had ventured into a courtyard after her visit to the Goyoco community center in San Juan when the protester broke into song in Spanish.
Trying to be friendly‚ the unwitting Harris nodded and clapped along — but then an aide appeared to inform her about what the lyrics meant‚ and suddenly she stopped.
“We want to know‚ Kamala‚ what did you come here for? We want to know‚” the man sang‚ according to multiple translations. “The vice president is here making history. We want to know what she thinks of the colony.
“Long live Free Palestine and Haiti‚ too.”
Officially joining the vice president at the time were Mariana Reyes‚ executive director at La Goyco‚ and Frankie Miranda‚ Hispanic Federation president.
Harris had trekked to Puerto Rico to tout ongoing federal aid to the territory in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

Per CBS News:
Harris’ visit is intended to highlight the administration’s efforts to bolster the island’s recovery and the impact of Puerto Rican culture around the world. Details of the trip were first shared with CBS News.
The vice president’s trip is also taking place as recent CBS News polling from late February shows President Biden’s support among Hispanics has dropped by 12 points since 2020‚ from 65% to 53%‚ representing the steepest drop in his share among demographic groups surveyed.
Hoping to turn those numbers around‚ Democrats are starting outreach efforts early.
“You are seeing outreach happening earlier than you usually see it happen‚” said Clarissa Martinez De Castro‚ vice president of the Latino Vote Initiative at UnidosUS. “I think a lot of times Latinos are either an afterthought or outreach comes during the final month so the fact that we are in March and you’re seeing some of these efforts‚ I think it’s positive.”
Puerto Ricans living on the island are not eligible to vote in the general election‚ since Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and not a state‚ although this November‚ for the first time‚ they’ll be able to cast a symbolic ballot.
