Vice President Kamala Harris is facing mockery for her attempt to share an example of a cultural connection between the U.S. and South Korea.
On Thursday, Harris said during an event with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, “South Korea and the United States… also share strong culture and people-to-people ties.”
She continued, “K-Pop bands — they top the billboards in the United States, including BTS who I had the great pleasure of meeting… I also think of the Emmy award-winning TV shows like ‘Squid Game’ — which I will confess Doug and I binge-watched at home over a series of weeks.”
Harris added, “These are examples of cultural ties and the intertwined history between our nations.”
