Internet roasts Kamala Harris for claiming she once asked 'Why are conservatives bad, mommy?'
The vice president was skewered by Twitter users comparing her 'whoppers' to Biden's
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Vice President Kamala Harris shared a childhood memory to bash conservatives Monday that made Twitter users cringe and suggest it was completely made up.
Harris has been widely criticized for her public speaking, ranging from repetitive word salads to personal anecdotes of dubious authenticity. Her participation in a moderated conversation on climate policy at Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities in Colorado gave the latest example.
"I grew up learning about – we called it ecology at the time and so some of us who were born around that time know what I’m saying – and we talked about it in the context of conservation," she said laughing. "In fact, I’m going to share with you a very simple story, which is that I went home one day and I said, 'Well, why are conservatives bad, mommy?’ I thought we were supposed to conserve things."
