Vice President Kamala Harris was mocked after mistakenly praising America’s “strong alliance” with “the Republic of North Korea.”
The latest example of Harris’ strong command of the issues came during a speech while visiting the Korean Peninsula’s Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Thursday.
“The United States shares a very important relationship which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea,” she said.
“It is an alliance that is strong and enduring,” Harris added.
The White House website provides transcripts of her speechin which the mistake has been corrected, only noting the “Republic of Korea,” which is South Korea’s name.
Which, had that been done in the previous administration, would have led to fact-checks and accusations of doctoring official White House documents. Instead, it will be dismissed as a legitimate clean-up operation on a sloppy Vice President with the oratory skills of a drunken street preacher.
