Former Vice President Kamala Harris visited backstage with the cast and crew of Wonderful World on Broadway over the weekend. The New York Post helps with a transcription of a few of the quotable quotes from her remarks along with a great screenshot of Kamala in mid-flight.
This is one of the quotes: “When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also let’s see it, you know, nature abhors a vacuum. Where there’s a vacancy, let’s fill it. Let us know that the reality is that the progress of our nation has been about the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights.”
I see a vacancy that no one can fill. Nature may have something to do with it. Nature or nurture, anyway.
Harris’s remarks are pitched perfectly to those who work the Broadway boards. It doesn’t get much deeper than this: “We have to be clear-eyed. And it doesn’t mean we don’t see the beauty in everything. These things all co-exist, but I believe we fight for something, not against something.”
Harris has retained a self-satirizing gift of gab that is both pompous and empty. A commenter on X attributes it to her being “unbourboned by what has gin,” which may be the charitable interpretation. Whether that is accurate or not, an intervention might be helpful.
