President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and members of the administration made headlines again this week when discussing the wildfires in California.

While speaking in the Oval Office, Harris followed up remarks from Biden by offering a word salad response that caught the attention of many on social media.

“As you’ve said, what we have been witnessing is truly mass devastation. And whether we are talking about Sylmar to Palisades to Altadena, it’s important to know that we’re talking about neighborhoods of people who, in many cases, I think about Altadena, these are — these homes have been in these families for generations. And in many of these homes, it is a multi-generational family that lives there,” Harris began.

“Also understand that in a lot of these neighborhoods, the folks who live there also work in that neighborhood, which means they’ve lost their home and their livelihood. So the devastation that we are looking at is multi-generational and is going to linger for quite some time. And the work under the president’s leadership that we are doing through the federal government to provide aid in every way, to the governor, to the mayor, to local police and fire is critically important,” Harris said.

“And we are doing it with a sense of urgency. I also would mention that not only are firefighters out there working around the clock, some of whom, sadly, more than a few who have lost their own homes in the fire, but so too with LAPD police officers who are working around the clock and there are at least a dozen who have also lost their own homes to the fire,” she added.

“So there is a real human story that is associated with the mass devastation that we are seeing and everything that we can do to support, we will do. Also understanding there are moments where we should find optimism in the heroism of people who are taking in strangers, taking in friends, providing shelter to evacuees, people looking out for each other regardless of where they come from or who they voted for. They’re looking out for each other and showing the best of the American spirit in a moment of crisis,” Harris concluded.

Social media responded negatively to Harris’ “word salad” remarks, with some expressing gratitude that she lost the election to President-elect Donald Trump.

“Imagine if Kamala Harris were president during these wildfires. Just imagine,” conservative commentator Kyle Becker wrote on X.

“Thank God she’s leaving in 7 days, and not taking the Oath Of Office,” conservative social media user Johnny MAGA wrote.

President Biden also announced in that Oval Office meeting that people impacted by the California wildfires will receive a one-time payment of $770 “so they can quickly purchase things like water, baby formula, and prescriptions.”

“The wildfires that have ravaged Southern California over the past week are among the most devastating ever in the state—and could be among the costliest in American history. Private forecaster AccuWeather has estimated the damages and economic loss caused by the fires to be between $250 billion and $275 billion, as thousands of structures, including many homes and well-known landmarks, are thought to be destroyed,” Newsweek reported.

“We are not waiting until the fires are over to help victims,” Biden said at the briefing at the Oval Office on Monday. “We are helping them all right now.”

Biden authorized the major disaster declaration for the Golden State on January 8, allowing federal funds to be disbursed to impacted residents of Los Angeles County. It involves “grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster,” according to a White House statement.

For the next six months, the federal government will also cover all of the costs associated with responding to the fires.
