Watch: Kamala Harris Booed At March Madness Appearance

-

Vice President received less than a lukewarm welcome from roughly 20,000 spectators at Wells Fargo Area in Des Moines, .

Harris was on hand to watch her Howard University Bison get blown out by Kansas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Associated Press reported that when the announcer introduced Harris over the public address system, the crowd's boos drowned out the cheers and applause.

Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff appeared alongside his wife to cheer on her alma mater.

Afterward, Harris gave an awkward locker room speech to the deflated Bison.

Per the New York Post:

The Democrat witnessed the top-seeded University of Kansas Jayhawks trounce the Howard Bison — Harris graduated from Howard in 1986 – by a score of 96-68 in the west region matchup.

Harris, who watched the game in a suite with her husband, second gentleman , visited Howard's locker room after the loss to commend the players on their effort and impressive season.  

“You guys are so good, you guys are so good,” Harris said as she met the team and gave them a round of applause. “You played hard, you played to the very last second, you made all us Bisons so, so proud.”

Harris joked that when she went to school there, fans were just happy there was a game, “much less getting to this place.”

Thursday's appearance by the Howard men's basketball team in the NCAA Tournament was their third in the program's history.

  1. Did Miss Second in Command also do one of her famous “giggles” when she doesn’t want to answer a question and big smile that makes her look like a fool?
    Or did she offer to do her “Lewynsky vs Clinton” thing like she did in California with Willie Brown to move up the political ladder. Even Wille has stated she used to do him. I am not sure if she was married then or not…but then to the Dems like Clinton that is “not sex.”

    • (Giggle)… “I did NOT have sex with that man.” ..(Cackle!) It is not hard to project a Clinton-Harris ticket.


  2. Peter Principle: “In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his (or her) level of incompetence.

    Unfortunately Joe Biden and Kamala were already there, prior to being elected!
