Harris' struggle to shovel dirt while planting memorial tree raises doubts about her 'middle-class' claims

WASHINGTON, DC: Vice President Kamala Harris, accompanied by second gentleman Doug Emhoff, planted a tree at the Vice President's residence in Washington, DC, on Monday, October 7.

This event commemorated the first anniversary of the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel. Footage showed Harris and Emhoff planting the memorial tree.

Video of Kamala Harris struggling with the shovel sparks mockery

A video that captured Kamala Harris apparently struggling to shovel dirt has gone viral on social media, leading users to speculate about her lack of experience with a shovel.

Concurrently, this has sparked a debate over her assertions of a middle-class upbringing, where, as she mentioned in a recent interview, maintaining a well-kept lawn was a source of pride.

In the video's comments section, social media users scrutinized Harris' assertions of a middle-class background. A user claimed, "That’s not someone who grew up in a middle class family."

Another mocked, "Was she holding the shovel backward? Who does not know how to use a shovel?"

A commentator remarked, "That is someone who has never touched a shovel in their entire life."

"Not even stood and watched the gardener..." one critic wrote.

Someone else asserted, "She literally can’t do anything."

Another individual chimed in, "Kamala needs to stay away from manual work photo opps. It's obvious she has never done this before."

Joe and Jill Biden attend vigil commemorating one year since Hamas attack on Israel

On Monday, the Second Gentleman, who is Jewish, recited a prayer at an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee in Washington.

While Harris, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, commemorated the October 7 attack at the Vice President's residence, her opponent, former president Donald Trump, visited a historic Jewish site in New York and offered prayers wearing a traditional Jewish skullcap.

He was also scheduled to address Jewish community leaders at one of his resorts in Miami, Florida.

 

Recently, President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden hosted a commemorative event at the White House to mark one year since the lethal Hamas assault on Israel, which resulted in 1,200 fatalities and approximately 250 hostages taken by the militant faction from the Gaza Strip.

Rabbi Aaron Alexander from Washington's Adas Israel Congregation delivered the Jewish remembrance prayer at the White House, honoring the victims of the attack while President Biden and the First Lady watched.

Following the prayer, the octogenarian Rabbi lit a candle and set it on a table in the Blue Room, with a moment of silence also being held during the ceremony.
