Vice President Kamala Harris wrote about her childhood memories of a different holiday when the rest of the country was celebrating Christmas. Many social media users, however, questioned the veracity of her statements.

On Twitter on Sunday, Harris remarked, “Our Kwanzaa celebrations are some of my favorite childhood memories.”

She continued by saying “My favorite principle is the second: Kujichagulia (self-determination). This principle is about having the power to design your own life and determine your own future. It’s a deeply American principle. From our family to yours, happy Kwanzaa.

People online, however, were not having it and immediately questioned Harris’ story and sentiment for a holiday that is less than 60 years old, and not even taken seriously by most Americans.

Comments such as, “You should post pics from your childhood Kwanzaa celebrations, as an encouragement to the community today!” flooded the internet mocking the routinely unlikeable and in-genuine Vice President who continues to struggle with sinking approval ratings.

Others simply said they didn’t believe her, and who can blame them? You can see other responses here.
