Vice President Kamala Harris was captured on camera clapping to a song during her trip to Puerto Rico, if only she had known what was being said.
After speaking in San Juan Harris took a planned visit to Goyoco community center to meet with staff and leaders.
As her motorcade arrived, there was a small group of protestors holding signs attacking Biden’s administration’s stance on Israel.
While moving through the courtyard at the community center there was a group of six people playing music. Kamala happily clapped as they played until an aid translated what the band was playing.
“We want to know, Kamala, what did you come here for?… Long live Free Palestine and Haiti too!” the band said, according to the account managed by the Republican National Committee.
Once learning what they were saying, Kamala stopped clapping and folded her hands as the song continued.
NEW: Kamala Harris unknowingly claps along with a song in Spanish protesting *her* during her visit to Puerto Rico.
Harris may be the dumbest VP in the history of our country.
Harris kept clapping until an aide told her what they were saying.

Before visiting the community center, Kamala visited homes that were rebuilt after Hurricane Maria ripped through the island.
“What we all need to do then is just supply the community and the talent here with the capacity and the resources. And so President Joe Biden and I have been very intentional about what we are doing for the leaders and the people and the families of Puerto Rico. So far, our administration has invested over $140 billion in Puerto Rico,” Harris said.
Adding: “What that means for a family, a multigenerational family, which you see behind me, is extraordinary in terms of the quality of life. The part of the challenge that Puerto Rico has faced has been what we know is, is intermittent electricity and energy sources because of these extreme weather and the installation of this smart technology, including the solar panels, will allow for more consistent energy sources for the families that are here, which again, is about an upgrade on quality of life and just the well-being and the dignity of each family to be able to satisfy their basic needs.”
