Watch the moment Kamala Harris talks about coconut tree during 2023 speech

You think this meme just fell out of a coconut tree?

With Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the new Democratic front-runner after President Biden suddenly dropped out of the race on Sunday, her coconut tree meme has resurfaced and gone viral, with members of her own party getting in on the action.

In the last 24 hours, Democratic governors, senators and PACs have voiced their support for Harris while mentioning coconut trees or adding coconut emojis to their posts.

The meme stems from a random moment in a speech Harris gave in May last year as she was swearing in commissioners for the White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics.

You didn't just fall out of a coconut tree = you are not an object randomly spawned out of thin air; you have been influenced by the process it took to grow you.

No cause this is actually so Tamil mom coded and this is the *CONTEXT* that ppl are missing 😤

[kaulz]

How can so many men on the right be triggered by women laughing. 😂

[tone_science]

She basically said - “you live in a world with history and other people so appreciate that.” It’s not that complicated

[laurenmichael]

She’s having the time of her life. She’s just live laugh love

[JamieChambers]

Bring on our cackling wine-mom president!

[Hexie]

I wonder why republicans picked this clip to go after her for, she's just saying something objectively correct here

[Bobbyisrael]

I love her laugh. I have to be honest. Our politics have gotten so hateful these days that seeing someone who gets so happy and laughs just makes my freaking day.

[Piclanop]

Are y’all to inept to understand what she saying? She’s 100% correct

[ryosjsh]

It means you were not born out of thin air. You are shaped by family, environment, culture etc....

[davidmason]

I somehow missed the context of her illustration of Mom’s coconut tree. 🤔

[zed]

If these are the kinds of attacks you've got coming, it means that now you're desperate. I was expecting something incriminating. 🤣

[ryosjsh]

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

[WAYSBAND]

To be the president is to be the president of the United States and the ability to be president and the responsibilities of being a president should be handled by somebody who could be a president that understands the abilities of what a president should be in a president should understand the passage of time in the time of Passage and how it corresponds with the passage of time and what it means to be a president and yeah blah blah blah blah blah ha ha ha ha Kamala Harris 2024🎉

[turboluck]

I don't think its possible for her to speak without saying contextualize at least once

[sygnetmeaman]

Cackling Kamala would tear down the southern border wall and replace it with coconut trees!!!

[CaneFu]

Her mother sounds like mine with her favorite "are you a dumb ape?" line that Mom used on us when we messed up really bad as kids.

[patrickkavanagh]

Imagine her sitting down with Putin and telling him that.
