Vice President Kamala Harris has once again come under fire, this time for a questionable claim about listening to Tupac while smoking weed during her college years. Harris made the remark during a radio interview, suggesting she enjoyed the iconic rapper’s music while in college—despite the timeline making that impossible.
Harris attended college at Howard University from 1982 to 1986. The issue? Tupac Shakur was only 10 years old when she graduated and didn’t release his first album until 1991. This discrepancy has raised questions about Harris’s credibility, especially when it comes to appealing to younger and hip-hop audiences.
The VP has faced criticism for using cultural references to boost her image with certain demographics while bending the truth to make connections. This incident adds to a growing list of inconsistencies that some say reveal a pattern of exaggeration or pandering in her public persona. With many Americans already questioning the authenticity of political leaders, Harris’s statement has become another focal point in the ongoing debate over the sincerity of today’s top officials.
