Twitterverse Calls Out Politico Over Referring to Harris As ‘Kamala’: ‘Respect Her and The Office’

She is Vice President of the United States so let’s respect her and the office. The same standards used for others who held this esteemed role should also be used for VP Harris! “Harris,” “VP Harris,” &“Kamala Harris” are all appropriate and consistent with previous VPs. https://t.co/RYIQWtPifS

Vice President Harris. At least try to act professional and not like some contemptuous disrespectful entitled little brat, @samstein of @politico https://t.co/dO27DqxHXW

The constant disrespect towards the Vice President is nauseating. https://t.co/72E97qtKVE

I don’t remember Politico reacting this way when Donald Trump received the still-experimental monoclonal antibody treatment in 2020. https://t.co/7kSjFiDfPg

For those wondering why a public figure is getting care that seems to be not indicated, allow me to point you to any executive wellness program at your local world famous medical center (also: we have no idea if she has comorbidities) https://t.co/iI7q1Qi6dy

Why did Al take …. ?
Why did Dick take … ?
Why did Mike take … ?
Why did Joe take … ?

These headlines would not be written. That’s a choice. https://t.co/8V2uEzhAhO

She’s the Vice President of the country, so maybe “VP Harris” is a better thing to call her? https://t.co/vyn9KyOGhn

Her title is Vice President Harris. Put some respect on her name.

Maybe if you had included her title in the headline it might have elucidated why she’s taking the Pfizer pill you absolute bellends https://t.co/L8ZklyAf7o

.@politico did y’all forget the Vice President’s title?!? Y’all stay with the disrespect like we don’t notice. Get your shit together! #WokeAF https://t.co/T6tRnrG5Mm

I am genuinely curious about why you’ve chosen to address the vice president of these United States by her first name. https://t.co/gYcxcsvRAj

Hey there, Sam, that’s VP Harris to you.

Show some respect. https://t.co/TVydFl99o3

— Kimberley ‘Radical Left Maniac’ Johnson (@AuthorKimberley) April 28, 2022

Because she’s the fucking Vice President.

Also, did you habitually refer to VP Pence just as “Mike”? No? What’s the difference? https://t.co/BnOdvF8nym

— Michael Marshall Smith (@ememess) April 28, 2022

I’m just wondering if Sam ever referred to Pence by his first name. https://t.co/A0OlIr240y

— Gabe Ortíz (@TUSK81) April 28, 2022

Pretty sure you didn’t use “Mike” for the previous Veep. https://t.co/ztsTbeQctq

Why are y’all acting brand new? She got the pill for the exact same reason Trump was helicoptered to Walter Reed and given COVID treatments that weren’t available to the average American. Our system sucks.

And it’s Vice President Harris. Stop disrespecting Black women. https://t.co/MGKi2axKIl
