Kamala accidentally said "reduce population" instead of "reduce pollution"

Kamala Harris once said this, as you can see in the video above: “When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and REDUCE POPULATION, more of our children can breath clean air and drink clean water.” She meant to say "reduce pollution" but she made a mistake, as pointed out by fact checkers. Reducing pollution does make sense in the context of her speech at the time, but it was still fun for some social media users to mock her for the mistake. FactCheck.org wrote:

The official White House transcript shows Harris misspoke. She had intended to say “reduce pollution,” not “reduce population.” The transcript provides this correction in brackets alongside the original wording, which is crossed out. But some social media posts have spread the video of her mistake without mentioning the correction.
