WASHINGTON, DC: The Vice President's office released a video on June 18, showcasing Kamala Harris' interaction with the 'Queer Eye' cast and crew during a special Pride Month event, celebrating the show's 20th anniversary.

Vice President Harris was mistakenly referred to as "Madam President" in a video caption during her meeting with the cast of the Netflix show.

Near the end of the clip, which was tweeted by Harris’ official X account, one of the cast members addressed her as “Madam Vice President,” but the caption read “Madam President” instead. 

“The cast of @QueerEye joined me at the White House to discuss the hard-fought progress the LGBTQI+ community has made in the past 20 years,” Harris proudly posted on X. “Thank you for a meaningful conversation, for giving my office your stamp of approval, and for being fabulous,” she added.



 

It was unclear whether the error in closed-captioning was manual or software-generated. The video was uploaded without correction by Harris, 59. 

The video shows Jonathan Van Ness, who uses they, he, and she pronouns, with a beard and clad in a long, form-fitting, tie-dye dress, eagerly knocking on the door of the office at the White House Executive Office Building, and expressing excitement in a high-pitched manner upon Harris opening the door.
