Trump campaign mocks Harris with debate ticket for Tupac Shakur, Internet says ‘she is getting dragged so hard’
A month ago Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris had an “oops” moment when during NAACP's virtual convention she called the late hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur as the “best rapper alive.” It looks like her faux pas is going to haunt her for a long time as the American politician is now being trolled by the Trump campaign for the same.
According to the New York Post, the Trump campaign said that they have invited long-dead rapper Tupac Shakur to attend the vice presidential debate being held on October 7 referring to the mistake made by Democrat Joe Biden’s running mate.
Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller told reporters on a conference call previewing the debate between Harris and Vice President Mike Pence, “I can confirm that we have left a ticket for Tupac Shakur, who as we know is Senator Harris’ favorite rapper alive.” He further quipped, “I don’t know if he shows up. I’m personally more of a Biggie fan if he’s still alive, but we will have a ticket waiting for Mr. Shakur,” referring to Biggie Smalls, who, like Shakur was gunned down decades ago and also shared a strong rivalry before they died.
As soon as the troll news surfaced on the Internet, social media users logged into Twitter to express their opinion. One user said, “If Tupac Shakur was still alive when Kamala Harris was San Francisco DA, she would have been Heels Up, drinking Hennessy & smoking weed with him, then lock him up for smoking weed.” One user made fun of the whole situation and tweeted, “Kamala Harris is gettin’ dragged so hard over stupidity over Tupac” One individual posted, “Kamala Harris will only take the vaccine if Tupac Shakur tells her to”
Another user added, “Kamala Harris could become President of the United States. If that doesn’t scare the hell out of you you’re vital signs are worse than Tupac Shakur’s.” One user slammed Harris and said, “Kamala Harris threw more black American men in prison than anyone who held a similar position! And then she had the nerve to brag about smoking dope, while listening to Tupac, years later! She is a hypocrite and a disgrace!”

According to Complex, when CNN commentator Angela Rye had asked Harris who she believed was the "best rapper alive” back in September, the 55-year-old politician had said “2Pac.” Angela Rye, who hosted the virtual event, corrected the California senator and said, “He's not alive! You said, 'He lives on...”
Tupac, known by his stage name 2Pac, died on September 13, 1996. The hip-hop artist was fatally shot on September 7, 1996, in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. The rapper was only 25-years-old at the time of his death. Even though he was carried to the hospital, he succumbed to his wounds after six days.
