Vice President Kamala Harris was roundly mocked by conservatives online Tuesday after she tweeted the country was “moving again” as thousands of commuters were trapped on a snowy, frigid Virginia highway.

What was projected to be a minor snow storm gave some Virginians a foot of snow instead. A portion of Interstate 95, which is often used to get from Richmond to Washington, D.C., was at an impasse beginning Monday.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) reported he was among those who sat in the cold waiting to be rescued.

The gridlock broke Tuesday afternoon, but not before Harris touted the Biden administration’s recently passed infrastructure package.

“Because of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, America is moving again,” the vice president tweeted. “That’s what infrastructure is all about: getting people moving.”

The tweet proved ill-time for Harris, as scores of Twitter users, mostly on the right, reminded her that thousands of Americans were quite literally stuck.

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro responded, “Could you possibly be any more incompetent? It’s truly astonishing.”

Kassy Dillon, a conservative activist, commented, “What a poorly timed tweet.”

Harris was summarily roasted by untold conservatives, many of them lawmakers, who used her poorly-time social media post as evidence she is politically inept.

Even Aaron Rupar, formerly of Vox, chimed in.
