Several social media users were concerned about Vice President Kamala Harris after a clip of her chuckling during a “awkward” moment while addressing a room went viral.
The moment arrived when Harris was swearing in members of the “White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics.” She began to speak with an accent as she recalled a story involving her mother.
“My mother used to, she would give us a hard time sometimes,” Harris said. “And she would say to us, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’”
At that point, Harris began chuckling — some would say cackling — during her retelling of the story and appeared to invite the audience to join in.
But no one did. There were a few muffled murmurs in response, but that was it. However, the bizarre video prompted many social media users to openly query her mental health.
“I’m pretty sure Kamala just fell out of a coconut tree. There’s something seriously wrong with her,” one user wrote on Twitter.

“Kamala didn’t fall out of a coconut tree but she definitely had one dropped on her head,” another wrote.
“Kamala’s coconut tree joke…she was lit up on something,” another user observed.
“Please! That’s her norm! It’s utterly embarrassing. We have a guy that doesn’t know what he’s saying and where he’s walking too and a gal who consistently sounds like a stoner philosophizing,” said another.
“What was she on?” asked another user.
“So she knew early on something wasn’t right with her daughters head,” said another user, referencing Harris’ story about her mother.
It is not the first time Harris has recalled a cringe-worthy story about her mother, replete with a cackling laugh.
The Republican National Committee’s research division posted a clip where Harris said, “I went home one day and I said, ‘Why are conservatives bad, Mommy?’ because I thought we were supposed to conserve! Ha ha ha! I couldn’t reconcile it. Now I can! Ha ha ha.”

In March, Harris had a less than ideal start to the college basketball championship tournament, as she and a second gentleman were taunted when they attended her alma mater’s March Madness NCAA men’s basketball game. Newsweek reported that Howard University, an HBCU, was defeated by Kansas in a blowout.
She then addressed the team in the locker room.
“You played hard. You played to the very last second. You made all us Bisons proud,” she said, The Associated Press reported. “You are smart. You are disciplined. You put everything you had into the game. You guys did not stop, and that is so inspiring. So you keep playing with chin up and shoulders back because you showed the world who Bison are.”
