In a clumsy attempt to be discreet, Vice President Kamala Harris was caught on a hot mic and video Wednesday telling someone that the Hurricane Milton briefing she was in the middle of was a “live broadcast.”
As National Weather Service Director Ken Graham warned of the potentially devastating flooding that could result from the major hurricane’s landfall, Harris — who was taking part in the briefing over video — appeared to become distracted by something behind the camera.
The vice president — in a moment that some on social media likened to a scene from HBO’s “Veep” — awkwardly raised her hands up to her chin and slowly concealed half her face, including her mouth, with her palms and fingers.
“It’s a live broadcast,” Harris barked, with her mouth still shielded behind her hands.
Graham wrapped up his portion of the briefing seconds after the bizarre moment.
