During her participation in a climate policy event at Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities in Colorado on Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows when she told a bizarre story about speaking to her mother about “why conservatives are bad.”
“I grew up learning about – we called it ecology at the time and so some of us who were born around that time know what I’m saying – and we talked about it in the context of conservation,” she said laughing. “In fact, I’m going to share with you a very simple story, which is that I went home one day and I said, ‘Well, why are conservatives bad, mommy?’ I thought we were supposed to conserve things.”

Reactions curated by Fox News:
A clip of the quote went viral across Twitter, and users shredded her story from multiple angles.
“Her comms team would be wise to keep her far, far away from a camera and a microphone. Forever,” 2022 New Hampshire congressional candidate Karoline Leavitt wrote.
Conservative Twitter personality ALX implored, “PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.”
Many Twitter users appeared to suggest the story was a complete fabrication.
“This never happened,” “The Dana Show” host Dana Loesch wrote.
“I can’t tell if she laughs because she believes the content is funny or because she knows there are a few suckers dumb enough to believe this actually happened,” writer Virginia Kruta tweeted.
“I’ll take, ‘Things that never happened for $1,000,'” special adviser for communications for Sen. Ted Cruz, Steve Guest tweeted.
“She’s been around POTUS too long, the only thing missing is ‘not a joke’ at the end,” WGY Mornings with Doug Goudie tweeted.
