Vice President Kamala Harris made an apparent error during a speech about climate change on Friday by calling for population reduction in order to provide cleaner air and drinking water.
“When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breath clean air and drink clean water,” Harris said during a speech centered on the Inflation Reduction Act at Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland.

Harris’s comments about the Biden administration’s climate change agenda sparked a wave of backlash, with some Republican lawmakers questioning the remark.
"Are you the population she wants to reduce?” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) tweeted.
Twitter owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk jumped in to call Harris out for her unintentional misuse of the phrase as well.
“Reducing population is [nuts]. We need to increase population,” Musk tweeted.
The mix-up comes shortly after Harris was ridiculed for her explanation of transportation at an event hosted by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday.
“This issue of transportation is fundamentally about just making sure that people have the ability to get where they need to go,” Harris said to a crowd of disability rights advocates, pushing the message that airplane restrooms are not accessible. ”It's that basic.”

Harris also faced criticism over an attempt to explain Artificial Intelligence during a meeting with labor union and civil rights leaders on Wednesday.
“I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing,” Harris said during a roundtable in Washington, D.C. “First of all, it’s two letters. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is, is it’s about machine learning.”
