Kamala Harris, who once achieved the lowest approval rating for any vice president in history at 28 percent, is facing major criticism over recent comments.
“Elections matter,” she began. “And when folks vote, they order what they want.”
“And in this case, they got what they asked for,” she added. “I went off script a little bit.” Watch the clip:

Social media responded quickly to Harris.
Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas said, “The American people didn’t ask for any of this,” and then listed “Record Inflation, Record border crisis, Closed schools, A war on American energy, Afghanistan disaster, and Russia invasion of Ukraine.”
The American people didn’t ask for any of this:
Record Inflation
Record border crisis
Closed schools
A war on American energy
Afghanistan disaster
Russia invasion of Ukraine https://t.co/hahTDoG2rC— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 28, 2022
Here are some other responses:
Yes, elections do matter! And in November, we’ll see that no one asked for the Democrats’ soaring inflation, closed schools & masked kids, record crime, or war on American energy. It’ll be a referendum on Biden’s complete and total failure. https://t.co/7o7HIVOqdN

“Biden has a 37% approval rating in the recent ABC poll. People didn’t ask for this. She is a terrible politician,” former Trump 2020 campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh wrote.
