Kamala Harris joyfully clapped along to a Spanish protest song before abruptly stopping – after the lyrics were revealed to be targeting the vice president and the administration’s foreign policies.
Videos showed Harris eagerly clapping and smiling as a group banged on drums and sang in Spanish during her trip to San Juan, in Puerto Rico, on Friday.
But her face fell after an aide leaned over to speak with her – presumably to translate the lyrics. Harris immediately stopped clapping, lowered her hands and assumed a more serious facial expression.
The song was a protest anthem that questioned: ‘We want to know, Kamala, what did you come to do? We want to know, Kamala, what is going to happen?’
This is the latest in a series of gaffes that have seen the Democrat‘s approval ratings slide in what is panning out to be a ruthless presidential election year.
