Vice President Kamala Harris has talked herself into knots —again.
According to a local CBS affiliate in Louisiana, the Veep visited the St. Landry Parish town of Sunset as part of the Biden administration’s high-speed rural internet initiative.
“Harris was introduced by St. Landry Parish student Josie Lemelle, who illustrated the digital divide in rural communities by telling stories of how virtual learning failed within the first week in St. Landry Parish as many students did not have enough bandwidth to stay on digital services like Google Meet,” the affiliate reported.
“Harris said as many as 42 million Americans either cannot afford or do not even have access to high-speed internet services. At best, some Americans are stuck with slow satellite internet or dial-up services, which are more expensive and less reliable than urban internet plans. The vice-president said that lack of service keeps rural residents from being able to take on remote work situations and hampers their abilities to collaborate and create business opportunities,” the report added.
She also says “the passage of time” a lot. Way, way too many times.
