Footage has recently surfaced on social media showing Vice President Kamala Harris sharing a strange story at Spelman College. Harris described how the white lids on Starbucks Coffee cups arouse anxiety, as she fears leaving a lipstick stain during important meetings. Many have raised concerns about Harris leading important meetings or negotiations with world leaders if coffee cups arouse anxiety.
“We talked about those lids. So here’s what I said to her, here’s what I said to her. So you know how those lids are? Because this is, I’m just gonna speak, okay, so this is it. So you know how those lids on the Starbucks cups, they’re white, right? And so if you wear lipstick, they get all over the lid. And so then I find myself in meetings if I’m the only woman, and that’s kind of until I keep taking the lid off and having my cup out so that I don’t have that big lipstick mark on the lid. So I said, Can we do something about the color of the lid?” Harris said at the historically black college.
Social media users reacted to Harris’s statement, pointing out that she should be addressing much more significant issues. “She literally spoke more about the lid of her Starbucks coffee cup, then she has about the border, illegal immigration and illegal aliens, inflation, the price of food, gas prices, crime, or the troops who were killed at Abbey Gate. And the Democrats have selected her to be President,” one person said.
“You can’t be serious. Can you imagine Christine Lagarde or Giorgio Meloni going on like this. I worked in finance in a very male dominated business for a decades. This is embarrassing. It is a reinforcement of the female dingbat stereotype. We don’t need DEI. We need women who can be taken seriously. No one care what color creed you are. They care about the words coming out of your mouth. She’s interviewing for the most important job in the world,” another person wrote.
Echoing the same sentiment, another user lamented the idea of Harris leading negotiations with the United States’ world leaders. “Imagine her trying to negotiate with Putin. Putin would be like “Let me take over Europe and I will give you lids to match your lipstick”. No wonder she has Putin’s endorsement,” they commented. Another blasted the vice president, writing, “No mention of the economy, borders, price of food and gas, interest rates, credit card debt, bankruptcies, wars, rising crime, or fentanyl deaths. Just Starbucks lids.”
Another person posted in the comment section, “There’s not just one, but 3 things wrong in this video: 1. Her anxiety over the lid 2. Her “authoritarian elitist” stance….she has the power to tell Starbucks to change the lid. 3. Note the accent…..want to guess who she’s talking to? You win if you guessed a “historic black college in Atlanta”. The cackle doesn’t help either!”
