After a video of Harris whipping off her sunglasses and asking reporters on a tarmac 'Whatcha got?' went viral, the internet couldn't help but meme the iconic moment.

After a video of Vice President Kamala Harris whipping off her sunglasses and asking reporters on a tarmac, "Whatcha got?" went viral, social media users couldn't help but meme the iconic moment.

Republicans—notably former President Donald Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance—have in recent weeks accused the Harris campaign of refusing to answer questions from journalists.


But Harris quickly proved them wrong, strutting over to reporters on a tarmac before flying off to another rally—and taking off her sunglasses before answering a reporter who asked for her reaction to a recent press conference Trump held at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Harris responded:

"Well, I'm glad that he's finally agreed to a debate on September 10. I'm looking forward to it and hope he shows up ... I'm happy to have that conversation about an additional debate after September 10."

At another moment, she dismissed Trump's other remarks, saying:

"I didn't hear him. I was talking to voters."

She answered other questions of course—countering a narrative that's rather rich from the party that regularly attacks the press as "fake news"—but it was those first few seconds as she strolled up to reporters that really said it all.

You can see the moment and hear her remarks in the video below.

And a flurry of memes popped up almost immediately.




This is only the latest meme Harris has inspired while on the campaign trail.

Last month, after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her to be his successor, a speech made by Harris last year resurfaced in the form of memes, featuring the line:

"You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?"

In May 2023, the vice president delivered remarks at the swearing-in ceremony for commissioners of the White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics. During the speech, Harris emphasized the importance of focusing on the younger generation while also being "clear about the needs of their parents and their grandparents and their teachers and their communities."

She continued by stating that “none of us just live in a silo” and shared some wisdom from her late mother, Shyamala Gopalan:

“My mother used to — she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’”

The viral moment even inspired several bars in Washington, D.C. to offer Kamala Harris-themed coconut tree drinks, including a bar and nightclub called Bunker that served $5 “Piña Kamala” coconut shots all night on July 21, the day Biden dropped out.

Riley Gaines Ripped After Boasting About Getting 'Groveling' Apology From Simone Biles

Anti-trans activist and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was called out after she boasted about getting a "groveling" apology from Olympic gymnast Simone Biles just days after Biles criticized her for regularly attacking the transgender community for participating in sports instead of promoting inclusivity.

Last week, Biles ridiculed Gaines in a post on X after Gaines complained about a recent victory by a Minnesota high school softball team that has become a focus of conservative media attention due to the reported inclusion of a transgender girl on the roster.

As MAGA Republican President Donald Trump ramps up the agenda put forth for him by the misogynist, White supremacist, Christian nationalist Heritage Foundation's Project 2025—which includes importing White people and deporting as many Black and brown people as possible in response to the Great Replacement conspiracy theory—more and more 2024 Trump voters are asking why they're being negatively impacted.

Video Of Tank Squeaking Through Sparse Crowd At Trump's Military Parade Sparks Hilarious Memes

People are cracking up after a video of a tank squeaking through a sparse crowd down Constitution Avenue on Saturday during President Donald Trump's military parade sparked commentary and memes about the controversial event.

Trump had long wanted a military showcase in the U.S.; during his first term, he expressed a desire for a military parade after witnessing a Bastille Day parade in Paris. However, the event he gave—a celebration of the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary that also coincided with his 79th birthday—was poorly organized.

Jesse Watters Blasted For Hypocrisy After Using Term He Was Previously Outraged By

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was called out for hypocrisy after he described the oustings of ABC News correspondent Terry Moran and Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg as them having been "86'd"—just weeks after complaining about the term "86 47," which he sees as a clear call to assassinate President Donald Trump.

The term "86" means to eject, discard, or disprove of, and though it's said to have military origins, it's commonly used in restaurants when getting rid of unruly customers or when a patron has specific dietary restrictions. For example, saying "86 the mushrooms on the burger" means to prepare a burger sans mushrooms. Similarly, saying "86 the burger with mushrooms" means to not make the burger at all.
