She’s courting the FIREFLY vote.

Vice President Kamala Harris raised a number of eyebrows after video

circulated of her recent tour of a semiconductor plant — where she

asked employees whether or not she could touch something she described

simply as “shiny!”

Harris, ramping up her campaign stops during the final days of the 2024

presidential election, made a visit to Hemlock Semiconductors in

Saginaw, Michigan, where she got the chance to see newly harvested

silicon laid out on a table.

“Here is, actually, a harvested U-rod,” an employee wearing a hard hat

informed the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. “We actually do

grow it, so this is what it looks like when it comes out of the water

processing bag —”

Harris reached out a hand toward the rod, which was covered in plastic,

and hesitated, asking, “Can I touch it?”

The response was immediate: “No! Do not touch it!”

“Do not — I’m glad I asked,” Harris recoiled slightly, laughing. “And I

won’t touch that.”

“Please do not touch any of the poly — it is very sharp,” the employee

repeated. “Those are very sharp.”

“And shiny,” Harris agreed, still laughing.

Critics mocked the whole scenario, suggesting it looked more like a

scene from the show “VEEP” than a real interaction between a

presidential candidate and a constituent.

“Veep or VEEP?” conservative communications strategist Steve Guest

asked, encouraging viewers to watch the exchange play out with the

sound on.

Still, others just mocked Harris for even asking to touch something in

a factory where the employees were clearly taking safety precautions —

such as wearing hardhats — even while walking on the factory floor.

“Apparently both @SecondGentleman and @KamalaHarris can’t keep their

hands off of things they shouldn’t touch,” another posted.

Which is actually way smaller than anyone is willing to admit.
