1:26Now PlayingFormer Vice President Kamala Harris emerged from political hibernation to deliver a stern rebuke of President Trump — before bizarrely shifting focus to a lighthearted video of elephants at the San Diego Zoo during an earthquake.
“A lot of folks are wondering what’s going to guide us through this moment. How are we all going to figure out how to chart the course,” Harris said during her Wednesday address at Emerge’s 20th anniversary gala in San Francisco. “Please allow me, friends, to digress for a moment.”
“Okay, it’s kind of dark in here, but I’m ask[ing] for a show of hands — who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake. Google it if you’ve not seen it,” she went on with a cackle.
Harris described how after they “felt the earth shaking beneath their feet,” elephants in the zoo “got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable.”
“What a powerful metaphor,” she said. “Because we know those who try to incite fear are most effective when they divide and conquer, when they separate the herd, when they try to make everyone think they are alone.”
The light-hearted moment came in the middle of a speech that painted a dystopian view of America under Trump as her former 2024 foe marks his 100th day in office.
