What is Kamala Harris' coconut palm meme and why did it go viral online? Photo

Kamala Harris's rapidly growing popularity on social media is making itself felt, as users show their affection for the US presidential candidate by creating new memes. In particular, one of the viral jokes associated with the politician is the "coconut palm". Even her fellow party members do not miss an opportunity to make a joke.

According to the NY Post, the "coconut" meme emerged from Harris's speech in May 2023. At that time, the vice president was swearing in members of the White House Initiative to Advance Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Latinos.

During her speech, Kamala tried to explain the need to invest in the next generation of American citizens, recalling her mother's words - "nothing can exist without a predecessor." "I don't know what's wrong with you young people, do you think you just fell off a coconut tree?" Harris quoted her mother's words, laughing. The 12-second video went viral and became a meme. That's why users "opened the archives" and found funny pictures from a year ago.

Hawaiian Senator Brian Schatz joined the flash mob, sharing a photo of himself picking coconuts from a tree with the caption: "Madam Vice President, we are ready to help." Colorado Governor Jared Poris posted emojis of a coconut, a palm tree, and the US flag.
