US Vice President Kamala Harris has been trolled all over Twitter for her bizarre claim she was a liberal green activist from her early childhood.
Harris, already famous for constructing meaningless sentences and laughing uncontrollably at inappropriate moments, made her latest comments in a debate on climate policy at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities in Colorado.
"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," Harris giggled.
"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," the second-in-command of the US nuclear arsenal said. "I couldn’t reconcile it. Now I can."
Harris' anecdote was met with a mixture of scepticism and ridicule by Twitter users.

Harris was lampooned for her baby-talk back in March 2022, when she launched into a Sesame Street-level analysis of the causes of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia during a radio interview.
“Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically that’s wrong," she burbled.
