Former Vice President Kamala Harris drew ridicule over a motivational speech to the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks over the weekend – with critics arguing the appearance was another "word salad."

Harris told the Sparks they were making an "incredible impact" on the country, while critics ripped her circuitous delivery and the fact she went from the Democrats' presidential nominee to "giving speeches to the WNBA."

"I travel our country. Young girls, boys, people of every gender background, race, watch the ‘W’, and understand how inspiring it is," Harris said.

"So keep doing what you're doing. You guys are impacting people who you may never meet," she said, before claiming that that includes people who "may never know your names or mine but they are aware of what you are."

"And it is giving them a sense of their value, their dignity, and what they have a right to expect from this world -- so congratulations on this game, but congratulations as much as anything else for the path you guys are charting. It is extraordinary to watch."

Outkick founder Clay Travis was nonplussed by Harris’ remarks, saying the former vice president made "zero sense."

"This league has still never had a team visit the White House with Trump in office," he added.

Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines said on Fox News Monday that when FBI Director Kash Patel fired up the U.S. Olympic Men’s Hockey Team in February after its upset of Canada, he was ridiculed by Harris’ ideological flank for the appearance while serving as the FBI chief. Gaines said on Fox News that while she had not seen Harris’ clip yet, she was reminded of the invective launched at the administration official. 

"Was there any outrage like there was when Kash Patel was in the men's locker room after the Olympic team won a gold medal at the Olympics? No, I don't think so," she said.

Other critics said Harris served up her latest helping of "delusional word salad nonsense," hearkening back to prior speeches and public remarks that also appeared circuitous or vague.
