She ’s the real - life VP Selina Meyer .
The internet has been drawing parallels for months between Vice President Kamala Harris and fictional vice president Selina Meyer onHBO comedy showVeep, and the viral joke seems to be getting more accurate by the day.

She seemingly assumes that they’re celebrating her visit as she smiles and excitedly claps along for several moments.
“We want to know, Kamala, what did you come here for?” theprotesters sing.“We want to know what you think of the colony,” they continue. “Long live free Palestine and Haiti, too.”
After watching Harris clap along, Mariana Reyes, the community center’s executive director — asidentified by the Associated Press— leans toward the vice president and explains what the group is saying.
It was at that moment that she realized…
Harris immediately stops clapping and stands with her hands together, appearing uncomfortable.
