Kamala Harris recently posted a tribute to her Indian heritage on social media, which received criticism as the elections approach. In her post, she shared a childhood photo with her mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan, expressing gratitude for her mother’s “courage and determination.” Harris credited her mother for shaping who she is today.
Despite her heartfelt message, the timing raised eyebrows among internet users, as many questioned her sincerity just days before the elections. Harris often mentions her mother in speeches, especially in discussions about racism and feminism. In her acceptance speech as her party’s presidential nominee, she highlighted her mother’s journey to the U.S. from India at age 19.
However, the recent post was met with skepticism. Social media users criticized Harris for only emphasizing her Indian roots now that the elections are nearing. Comments ranged from sarcastic remarks to outright accusations of inauthenticity, with some users suggesting that she was “back to being Indian” only to gain votes.
One user commented, “Oh, so you’re Indian again?” while another said, “Funny how you’re back to Indian again when Candace called you out about not being black.” Others echoed this sentiment, questioning her motives for invoking her Indian identity so close to the election.
In related news, former President Donald Trump criticized actress Julia Roberts for her endorsement of Kamala Harris. He expressed disappointment over Roberts’ narration of a pro-Harris ad aimed at encouraging women to vote independently of their husbands. Trump commented that Roberts would eventually regret her involvement in the ad, which suggests that wives can keep their voting choices private, regardless of their relationship status.
The ad, produced by Vote Common Good, emphasizes women’s rights to choose how they vote. It features a narrative that includes the line, “what happens in the booth stays in the booth,” suggesting privacy in voting decisions.
Roberts joins a growing list of celebrities supporting Harris, including Jennifer Lopez and Cardi B, while Trump has garnered endorsements from stars like Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan. The dynamics of celebrity endorsements play a significant role in the political landscape as the election approaches.
