After tweeting Tuesday that America is moving again thanks to the new, Democrat-backed $1.2 trillion infrastructure investment bill, Vice President Kamala Harris was met with a barrage of ridicule.
Because of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, America is moving again. That's what infrastructure is all about: getting people moving.

The issue was that Harris’ tweet lauding the concept that “America is moving again” came at a time when hundreds of commuters were still stalled on Virginia’s Interstate 95.
Due to cold temperatures and vehicles running out of petrol, traffic between Ruther Glen in Caroline County and Dumfries in Prince William County not far from Washington, D.C., where Harris lives came to a halt Monday and remained that way overnight.
As you would expect, a number of commentators called out to the vice president that the stuck drivers in her metaphorical back yard were unlikely to be shouting plaudits for the infrastructure investment package or yelling “America is moving again!”
Correct me if I’m wrong here, but the below video alone tells me that people aren’t “moving” on a very critical piece of actual infrastructure which is located not far from our nation’s capital where you are located in a warm and toasty place at this hour https://t.co/fSs547WdnZ

Many have thought that the Vice President’s tweet is a tad insensitive. This also made a lot of people question whether she cares about what is going on around her- this time- about the exhausting experience being stranded.
Some commenter said that there might be someone in the Vice President Kamala Harris’ social media coordinators might be mad at her. This actually might be true given how the veep treats her staff.
