The Democratic California Senator Kamala Harris, who is the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, just made a humiliating mistake while discussing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

In a flub that seems more characteristic of Biden, Harris referred to Ginsburg as the “Notorious B.I.G,” according to The New York Post.

“She was part of our culture. Yes, we wear those Notorious B.I.G. T-shirts with a lot of pride, but since she passed, there are parents reminding their children that she helped their lives,” Harris said during a speech about President Donald Trump nominating Amy Coney Barrett to fill Ginsburg’s seat.

Harris accidentally uses the nickname of Brooklyn-born rapper Biggie Smalls rather than Ginsburg’s nickname of “The Notorious RBG,” as she was popularly known late in her long career on the bench.

This comes days after Harris called Tupac Shakur the “best rapper alive” during an interview at the NAACP’s virtual convention Friday, even though he has been dead for over twenty years.

“Best rapper alive?” CNN’s Angela Rye asked Harris.

“Tupac,” Harris answered before Rye reminded her that he’s been dead for many years.

“Not alive, I know, I keep doing that,” Harris said with a laugh.

Though Rye continued to try and get Harris to name the best living rapper, she could not name a single one, and eventually told the CNN commentator to move on with other questions.

On Monday night, Harris sidestepped a question about Democrats stacking the Supreme Court. While being interviewed by MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell, Harris was asked if the court should be expanded.

“You know, let’s. I think that — first of all — Joe has been very clear that he is going to pay attention to the fact, and I’m with him on this 1,000 percent, pay attention to the fact that right now, Lawrence, people are voting,” she said.
