Vice President Harris suffered a slip of the tongue at a memorial service for late Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, when she seemingly mixed up her own title while delivering Jackson Lee’s eulogy.
While honoring Jackson for working to make Juneteenth a federal holiday, Harris slipped and gave herself a new title.
“It was Sheila Jackson Lee whose bill made Juneteenth a federal holiday. Which, as a United States senator, I was proud to co-sponsor. And then as president – as vice president …“ Harris said, quickly correcting herself.
“It was my honor – it was my honor, with our president, Joe Biden, to stand beside Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee as our president signed her bill into law,” Harris continued.
