A Twitter account lampooning Vice President Kamala Harris has gained thousands of new followers after a similar account mocking far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was deleted in recent days.
The profile, “Vice President Kamala Harris Official Parody,” has grown by more than 10,000 followers while mocking the veep’s habit of repeating herself and leaning into criticisms that her boss is too old to govern.
“Yellow school buses are yellow and they’re buses and yellow is yellow and buses are buses and that’s why I love yellow buses,” one post read, referencing remarks the 58-year-old Harris made during a visit to Seattle last year to tout the Biden administration’s investment in electric vehicles.
“Who doesn’t love a yellow school bus, right? Can you raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus? Many of us went to school on the yellow school bus, right? It’s part of our experience growing up. It’s part of a nostalgia, a memory of the excitement and joy of going to school to be with your favorite teacher, to be with your best friends and to learn. The school bus takes us there,” she said at the time.
The unknown humorist also made light of the 80-year-old Biden’s fall last week at the Air Force Academy’s graduation in Colorado.
“Just got Joe one of these,” the account tweeted, sharing a photo of a senior walker emblazoned with a crude photoshop of the presidential seal and the caption “Walk Force One.”
Biden’s campaign account blocked the parody VP profile later the same day.
“And then I told them, put the sandbags right there next to the podium,” another tweet said in reference to Biden’s stumble over the obstacle on stage. The post included a picture of Harris cackling with her onetime lover, former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.
AOC had criticized the presence of the parody account linked to her name after its creator joked about the “Squad” rep having “a crush” on Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who responded with a fire emoji to the post.
“FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility,” she said. “It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread. I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.”
The parody account clapped back at Ocasio-Cortez minutes later, saying, “After brainstorming with my staff — I’m going to push Congress to make it illegal to joke, laugh, or make fun of me. Parody should be illegal.”
The account, which has gotten some serious engagement despite its parody label, had been suspended last year but was brought back in May under Musk’s leadership — along with thousands of other accounts banned for alleged Twitter policy violations.
