Vice President Kamala Harris shouted “shrimp and grits” this week when questioned about Hamas’ decision to agree to a ceasefire deal in Gaza, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The awkward incident unfolded on Monday as Harris visited Detroit, Michigan to push her and President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign.
But the vice president appeared to dodge reporters as she visited a Black-owned business called Joe Louis Southern Kitchen for lunch.
"Madam Vice President, Hamas says it accepted a ceasefire deal,” one reporter asked Harris as she exited the restaurant with a bag of food. “Your reaction?”
“Shrimp and grits,” Harris responded as she was escorted into a nearby SUV. “You wanted to know? Shrimp and grits.”
The vice president was ridiculed online after the awkward incident went viral, and many wondered why Harris did not comment on the Hamas ceasefire development that was unfolding in the Middle East on Monday.
