During a recent appearance at Broadway’s “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical,” former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a speech that has been widely criticized for its lack of clarity and coherence.

As of now, Harris has not publicly responded to the criticism stemming from her appearance at the Broadway event.
