00:00You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
00:04What does that mean?
00:06Social media has become ablaze with Vice President Kamala Harris' coconut meme.
00:10But those who aren't familiar with the origins might be a little confused.
00:15Harris' quote is from a 2023 speech in which she described how her mother used to give
00:19her children a hard time.
00:21Now the quote has transformed from a meme to a symbol of her campaign for president.
00:26Social figures like Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz have
00:30jumped on the trend.
00:32And singer Charli XCX has deemed Harris to be having a brat summer too, a status her
00:37campaign seems to be endorsing.
