Vice President Kamala Harris drew widespread mockery after being captured on video clapping along to chants in Spanish by protestors opposed to her recent visit to Puerto Rico.

On Friday, the embattled Biden deputy made her first stop on the island as VP to tout the administration's commitment to providing humanitarian aid following several years of devastating storms. Later in the day, she attended a fundraiser in support of President Joe Biden's reelection campaign.

Anti-colonial protestors made their objections known over the beat of drums as they sang in support of a free Palestine and increased humanitarian aid for Haiti.

“We want to know, Kamala, what did you come here for? We want to know. The vice president is here making history. We want to know what she thinks of the colony,” sang the leader.

Hispanic Federal president Frankie Miranda, standing to Harris' left, soon began clapping along which prompted the vice president to smile and join in. She eventually stopped clapping after an aide leaned into her ear and explained the purpose of the chants.

Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory since 1898, is not allowed to vote in the presidential election despite its population being U.S. citizens, but the visit by Harris was ostensibly intended to encourage the five million Puerto Ricans living in the continental U.S. to cast their votes blue in November.

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi, a Democrat, joined Harris along with other Biden administration officials including U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Housing and Urban Development Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman, according to the AP. The group toured areas decimated by Hurricane Maria in 2017, which killed nearly 3,000 residents.

The blunder by Harris is another embarrassing highlight on the campaign trail which has plagued President Biden's reelection campaign and led to speculation that Harris might be replaced ahead of the Democratic Party's convention in August. She has at times been tasked with leading federal efforts in Africa, artificial intelligence, and reproductive rights, drawing scorn from opponents and concern from allies that her place within the administration has never been fully understood.

Democrats in Congress have long pushed for statehood for Puerto Rico, believing the progressive base of politicians could help tilt the Electoral College toward Democrats. Republicans have largely opposed the measure as have contingents of residents content with paying fewer taxes than most Americans.
