How Vice President Kamala Harris became 'brat'

Multiple videos have surfaced online over the last two days referring to likely Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris as a "brat." So how did this viral sensation begin, and why is her campaign embracing it? Abigail De Kosnik, associate professor for the Berkeley Center for New Media, joins "America Decides" to explain how British pop star Charli xcx's album has become a part of the 2024 race.

CBS News Washington presenter trying to articulate BRAT in journalistic speak is definitely *not* BRAT. 😄

Now...imagine a a world in which you don't have to hear about Donald Trump every day. These last 10 years have been exhausting.

thank god an expert explained this to me

[flipxd]

it's not "a" brat. it's "brat". She is not "a brat". She is "brat"

[ggcastill]

So basically Kamala is brat and Trump is a brat. Makes sense to me.

Oh lord y’all, keep up because this campaign is going to be anything but tired. The more CNN talks about it the sooner brat will be over lol. But seriously, this future president’s media team is everything

Ok but can we talk about how UC Berkley has a Professor of Memes on staff?

George washington would be proud of the race to twitter fame

Brat is embracing the chaos that life throws at you and really taking the reins of your destiny.

Nikki Haley was right
She said it was either gonna be her or Kamala, definitely not her

It's not "calling a political figure A BRAT", it's "calling a political figure BRAT". Being brat does not mean you are a brat.

There’s a big difference between Kamala’s team picking up on Brat (which is cvnt) and the media trying to milk it for unrelated purposes.

And I’m SO over the “cringe” comments. Had Obama done this yall would have lapped it UP. If Harris shows she’s a worthy leader in the coming months (which I’m confident she will) she can bring the memes as much as she damn well wants

“Hundreds of millions of young voters”? This from a professor.

Legacy & policy ideas to draw attention ❌
Memes by a singer for a candidate to draw attention ✅😂😂

Would love to have someone under 40 explain it.

Pokemon Go to the polls! How do you do, fellow kids!

[Johnnyballgameus]

If I were in the Harris campaign, I would run as far away from this as I possibly could. It will not age well.

There's no way this is real world
