Last year, the Biden White House invited plenty of criticism for how it marked Pride, and that looks to be the case once more. On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris welcomed the cast of “Queer Eye” to the White House, including a bearded Jonathan van Ness, a trans activist who appeared in a dress.
Harris herself posted from her official X account to express her excitement about the visit. How the White House goes out of its way to prioritize Pride month might not be the only takeaway from such a video clip, though. At one point, Harris is referred to as “honey–I mean, Madame Vice President.” However, the words on the screen show Harris being referred to as “Madame President.” At best, that’s an embarrassing oversight.
