Kamala Harris’ Book Tour Sparks Concern — Fans Say the Former VP Appeared ‘Inebriated’ During Public Talks
Vice President Kamala Harris is back in the spotlight, fam! But this time, it’s not on the campaign trail. She’s on a nationwide book tour, sharing her memoir that dives into her 2024 presidential bid and, in her own words, how she “misread the moment” that led to Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Whew, chile, that’s a lot to unpack!
The book is said to be full of deep reflection and behind-the-scenes tea about her campaign’s struggles. But here’s the kicker – the internet is buzzing about how she’s delivering her message, not necessarily what she’s saying.
Social Media Reacts: “Is Kamala Okay?”
Clips from Harris’ recent events have gone viral on social media, and folks are wondering if she’s been hitting the happy hour a little too hard. Some users are saying she appeared “tipsy,” “slurred,” or just plain “overly giddy” during her tour stops. Uh oh!
One user joked that “Kamala sound like she just came from happy hour,” while another posted a video captioned, “Sis is giving drunk auntie at the cookout vibes again.” Yikes. Is it just us, or are these comments a bit extra?
These comparisons ain’t exactly new, though. Remember during the 2024 election when “Drunk Auntie Kamala” was trending after some appearances where she was laughing a lot or seemed a little off-message? Her team called those rumors “sexist and baseless attacks” rooted in online nonsense. Hmmm…
What’s in the Book
Word on the street is that Harris is taking responsibility for her campaign missteps in the memoir. She’s admitting that her team struggled with a clear message, internal drama slowed things down, and her being cautious came off as aloof. Real talk!
She also talks about how tough it was to run against someone like Trump, admitting she underestimated his appeal to working-class voters and overestimated the country’s desire to go back to normal. Okay, VP, we see you being honest.
But even though the book is meant to fix her image, all this chatter about her behavior might overshadow the actual message. Is the internet being messy or holding her accountable? It’s a thin line, fam.
The Online Divide
Of course, Harris’ supporters are coming to her defense, saying these “drunk” claims are just more sexist attempts to tear down a powerful Black woman in politics. “They said she was too tough, then too soft, now too tipsy,” one supporter posted. “When will they let Kamala be human?” Preach!
Still, others argue that how she looks matters, especially since she might run again in the future. “If you’re trying to rebuild your brand, you can’t give the internet ammo,” one Democratic strategist told Media Take Out.
Media Take Out’s Take
Whether it’s nerves, being tired, or just her chill speaking style, Kamala Harris’ book tour is giving us flashbacks to the scrutiny she faced during her campaign.
Her memoir might give us answers about what went wrong politically, but these public appearances are sparking a whole new conversation about how she’s presenting herself.
No matter what’s really going on, one thing is clear: the “Drunk Auntie” rumors aren’t going away anytime soon. Let’s hope she can turn the narrative around!
