@vp made an OTR visit to the back of the plane and delivered cookies decorated with the shape of her likeness as well as AF2. pic.twitter.com/TQrUR47Vgc— Courtney Subramanian (@cmsub) June 7, 2021
They were apparently made by a bakery owned by black people.
Assuming she didn't order these herself (which is possible), this is the type of political fumbling that makes Elizabeth Warren look like Sheev Palpatine. If someone gives you something that makes you look incredibly self-absorbed, you don't share that with other people.
at least emphasize that somebody made them for her on their own accord
Even this -- which probably happened -- is guaranteed to get deliberately misrepresented to make you look pompous. It's just amateurish.
And I was just thinking the other day that one reason Biden picked Harris as VP is that she's not a threat to him. There's no constituency that's going to be clamoring for her to take the reigns in 2024.

His name is Sheev?!

I'm willing to believe that somebody made the cookies and she didn't ask for them.
However, Harris shouldn't have started to give them out to the press or at least emphasize that somebody made them for her on their own accord.

Realistically, it does come across as incredibly specific denial.
