Spreading rapidly on social media, Univision was seemingly captured providing Kamala Harris a teleprompter script for responses during a townhall event.
The controversial snippet is embedded below. Additionally, after reviewing the entire event, I am providing the full video as broadcast by Univision.
While the script is not used during the entire townhall event; yes, Kamala Harris uses a teleprompter during responses to questions that require policy outlines. In short, her handlers do not seem to have confidence that Harris can provide succinct responses despite continual rehearsal. WATCH:

I’ve looked at the entire broadcast. YES, there is teleprompter script running at specific segments of the event. NO, not all the time.
Obviously, the Univision townhall was prepped as part of a campaign strategy. In this example to target a Latino audience. We have seen Univision do this previously in the 2016 campaign. It is a production with questions pre-selected and likely previewed by the campaign.
The Screen System shows a clock during questions that are general and easy to ad-lib. These examples are emotional responses, feeling responses, opportunities for Harris to tell the audience a story replete with personal anecdotes, etc.
However, when the questions require specifics, citations or a more policy focused response, the screen turns to script for Harris to read or reference. This is a staged production with a live studio audience.
The camera movement around Kamala is timed to mostly show the clock. However, as noted, there are a few moments when the policy script is visible.
Here’s the full video where you can watch the transitions.

It is obvious the campaign is worried that Harris does not have the intellectual capability to avoid her traditional goofy word-salad responses. This is essentially another effort by media similar to the heavily edited and manufactured CBS 60-minute interview.
Kamala Harris is a puppet candidate. However, unfortunately modern Democrats are pre-programmed to ignore the strings on their marionettes.
You just can’t fix stupid, and the Harris campaign knows that. The Democrats have a steep hill to climb to get her into the Oval Office. No doubt the election steal or something even more nefarious is in the works.
Her defenders say the teleprompter was for the moderators. But the moderators are behind it and can’t see it as it is facing her, not them, for her to read.
Democrats are so frustrating the way they are brainwashed!
HOw can anyone even CONSIDER voting for this lazy and talent-less woman? Is she going to bring a teleprompter with her to speak with world Leaders? Is she even going to show up ? She was missing a lot during the run up to the election – like the first 5 days of Helene…where was she???? She- is inarticulate, and annoying her cackling is like nails on a blackboard…hasn’t she realized yet that NO ONE is laughing with her???) She NEVER asnwers a question- just a word salad of the same old garbage we[ve heard from her over and over…but NO PLANS,NO IDEAs, NO SMARTS. The absolute WORST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN MY LIFETIME.
KOWmala, the stupid
