When Harris said, in a May 2023 speech, 'You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?', a Republican YouTube channel snipped the clip from its context and tossed it to commentators, who used it to compare Harris to a daffy talk show host or to joke that she sounded high.
The stickiest anti-Kamala meme of the 2020 election – that the former prosecutor Harris is a cop – united leftists, Black Twitter and Republican trolls in an internet-wide project of framing Harris as either a reactionary or a hypocrite.
Since President Biden bowed out of the race and threw his support to Harris, the familiar old Kamala memes have risen again. It's their interpretation that has changed. In the hands of her online fans, Harris's word salad has been replated as hypnotic internet speak.
