Watch Kamala Harris' viral 'coconut tree' remarks

Since Vice President Kamala Harris announced she will be seeking the Democratic presidential nomination after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, memes of her asking, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” have circulated the internet. Harris said it in May 2023 during a White House event for an initiative focused on expanding educational opportunities for Hispanic and Latino Americans. Here's a portion of her speech where that now-viral "coconut tree" moment came from.

I appreciate the context behind this viral “coconut tree” reference

[natedamak]

It's her context, we're just living in it.

[jacobr]

Ironically, the reason this quote went viral is because people heard it out of context

[troy]

She’s so right! “you exist in the context of ____” can really help you understand, well everything!

[angussssssssss]

Can’t wait for the Harris/Trump Debate 😂

"You exsist in the context of all in which you live & what came before you"

[albertcheeni]

After the coconut fell the tree said "I'm unburdened by what has been"😅

[sonicstar]

The funniest part of this meme to me is how it’s literally her talking about not taking things out of context and people are taking that one line out of context XD

"Don't be like the fallen coconut that forgot it came from a tree".

[trustno]

The tree was unburdened with burden of being burdened as with any passage of time that will be in the moment.

In Puerto Rico our grandmothers told us..."perhaps you were born from a banana tree", we did not become solitary, we are part of something more...and they also told us "you are Boricua, show your banana stain" Meaning, be proud of your roots

[hickorysocks]

“We exist in the context” I cannot count how many times this wisdom has helped me

[mrsean]

The coconut tree is unburdened by the children who fell from its branches

“I didn’t just fall off a turnip truck” ❌
“I didn’t just fall off a coconut tree” ✅

Never say something in 1000 words that you can say in 10.

[superkalafragilistic]

Islanders know if your mom used that phrase with you, it meant you had coconut for brains.

[dingdong]

Americans are living in coconut 🥥 and not homes 🏠

[ryosjsh]

In the Philippines, we also have that expression, but instead of coconut tree it is mango tree.😂

[TS-gfog]

That was actually very sweet.
That’s it. Now I’m coconut pilled 🥥🥥🥥

[FVWhimsy]

Lolol! I always heard, "did you just fall off the cabbage truck?"
