Is the video with Kamal Harris true, where she makes a question about yesterday, today and tomorrow?

A video on which US Vice-President Kamala Harris pronounces several rather incoherent phrases widely diverged on the Internet. We decided to check if she said something like that.

Internet users Harris is attributed to this statement: “Today is today. And yesterday it was for us today, but yesterday. And tomorrow it will become for us today, but tomorrow. So live today so that the future today are for you as yesterday today, only tomorrow. ” Often it accompany Medicuing comments about the mental abilities of the vice president and her ability to formulate thoughts. The video can be found in "VKontakte" Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, blog platform "Picabu". Even some media outlets placed it at home (for example, "Komsomolskaya Truth"). 

Judging by the clothes of Kamaly Harris and the situation around, the shots of the video were taken from her performances On reproductive rights at the University of Howard (USA) on April 25, 2023. The White House website has complete Decoding Her speeches - however, quotes about yesterday, today and tomorrow, which sounds in the video in question, is not there.  

The first thing that catches the eye when watching a video is the Susinchron of the movements of the speaker’s lips and sounding words. The video itself seems to be “inhibited” during reproduction, Harris moves slow and unnatural. Many authoritative media have published Excerpts From her speech. The voice and manner of speaking on them are significantly different from the video in question. All this indicates that it is most likely installation.

In addition, at the performance of Kamal Harris stands behind the tribune with the inscription Fighting for Reproductive Freedom (that is, “The struggle for reproductive freedom”). In the video distributed, the inscription is different: Ramble Rans Reproductive Freedom, which can be translated as “incoherent chatter about reproductive freedom”, although the phrase grammatically is compiled incorrectly, probably because it would not fit. It also indicates that the video was most likely done as a kind of joke, and then some Internet users took it seriously and distributed it as a real fragment of the speech of the vice president. 

At the same time, Harris's real speech was really criticized for some incredity. So, for example, New York Post calls Her "verbal salad." Sky News Australia Journalists They saythat the vice president does not understand at all what she is talking about. “And we too,” they add. In excerpts that criticize the media, she pronounces the following: “I think that it is very important - as you have already heard from many outstanding leaders - for us, at every moment in time and, of course, at this moment, to see the moment in which we exist and are present, and be the opportunity to contextualize it in order to understand where we exist in history and at the moment, since this is due not only to the past, but also with the future.” Moreover, if you look at the gestures of Harris at the performance, you can notice that it is this excerpt from its speech that was used to create the video we are considering. Probably, one of the Internet users decided to bring the situation to the point of absurdity and invested a even more meaningless phrase into the charter of Harris.

Thus, Kamala Harris did not utter a phrase about yesterday, today and tomorrow, and the distributed video is installation. This is evidenced by a number of indirect signs: slow gestures, rasinchron movements of the lips and voice, a strange timbre, which differs from the usual manner of Harris. “Verified” failed to find the primary source of the video, however, judging by the altered and clearly mocking inscription on the rostrum, most likely it was initially someone's joke. In fact, in her speech at that moment she said other words, which, however, were also criticized by some media for meaninglessness and incoherence.
