On Monday, users on X reacted to a clip of Barrymore’s interview with Harris where she deployed a play on the vice president’s name, saying, “‘I’ve been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug in the world right now.”
“But in our country, we need you to be Momala of the country,” she added.
