Vice President Kamala Harris faced ridicule on social media after she called for Americans to move on from the "failed policies" that "we have proven don't work," in an address on the economy on Wednesday.
During a policy speech at The Economic Club of Pittsburgh, Harris emphasized her "middle-class upbringing" and pledged to "build a strong middle-class," with proposals she's rolled out in recent weeks like increasing the tax break for new small businesses and giving a $25,000 credit to first-time homebuyers.
"We just need to move past the failed policies that we have proven don't work. And like generations before us, let us be inspired by what is possible," Harris said.
Harris' comments about "moving past" failed policies drew jokes from conservative political commentators on social media, who found her statement ironic since she's the incumbent vice-president.
