Nikki Haley, former Republican governor of South Carolina as well as former President Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, is facing online ire after she criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her Saturday, May 29, tweet telling people to enjoy the long weekend.

The GOP politician was evidently upset Harris did not talk about Memorial Day in that particular tweet.

Haley called Harris "Unprofessional and unfit" in a quote tweet Sunday afternoon.


But Harris had already tweeted about Memorial Day Sunday morning, 6.5 hours before Haley's criticism.

Harris noted people were preparing to honor those who sacrificed their lives for their country on Monday, the day of the actual national holiday.

Haley later tweeted about Memorial Day on Monday, over 24 hours after Harris, asking God to bless the families of those who sacrificed their lives.

Unfortunately for Haley, she then followed this up with a tweet about how she was happy to be spending time with her son—presumably enjoying the long weekend.

People on Twitter didn't hesitate to criticize Haley for her hypocrisy, with many throwing her own words right back at her.



The problem folks had with Haley's tweet was not that she was enjoying time with her son—indeed, many families spent Memorial Day weekend together after over a year of pandemic lockdowns.

The problem was the harsh criticism Haley leveled at Vice President Harris for wishing everyone enjoyment during their long weekend, then tweeting about enjoying herself on Monday. If Harris had completely neglected to mention the reason for the holiday, Haley might have almost had a leg to stand on.

But that wasn't what happened.





Others noted a distinct lack of outrage by Haley over her former boss' Memorial Day messaging, both past and present.

On a platform like Twitter—where character limits mean posts have to be concise—it just made sense for Harris to make two separate tweets. She posted one on Saturday to address one of the first major travel weekends since the pandemic began and a second on Sunday to address Memorial Day.

If only Haley waited to see if Harris followed up her weekend well-wishes, she might have been able to avoid the storm of accusations of hypocrisy and internet anger currently aimed in her direction.

Andrew Cuomo Slammed After Campaign Posts Racist AI Video Of 'Criminals For Zohran Mamdani'

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was criticized after his official social media pages shared—then quickly deleted—an AI-generated campaign ad depicting "Criminals for Zohran Mamdani," his democratic socialist opponent.

Mamdani handily defeated Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary in June, sparking racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who've claimed his policies would "destroy" the city. The latest polls show Mamdani has a double-digit lead over Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, who is facing calls to drop out.

People Share Purchases Under $20 That Made Their Lives Way Easier

Sometimes, in an effort to improve our lives in some capacity requires us to make a significant dent in our bank account.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.
