Social media was not happy with a recent shopping trip by former Vice President and failed Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff.
Photos of the couple leaving 99 Ranch Market Asian Grocery store in Westwood, California showed them carrying their groceries in plastic bags, which got her branded a "hypocrite" by some social media users.

In 2019, Harris waged something of a campaign against plastic bags. During a CNN campaign event, Harris was asked if she thought plastic bags should be banned and she said, "I think we should, yes."
At the time, she did say she didn't like paper straws. "We gotta kind of perfect that one a little bit more," she said.
Somewhere between then and 2024, she stopped talking about banning plastic bags. Now she's using them, but is she doing anything wrong?
California has banned single-use plastic bags, so why was this market even using them?
According to some internet users, Harris and Emhoff were probably using reusable plastic bags, which are now used in California instead of single-use ones.
"Quick clarification with the plastic bags," one X user said. "Here in California, they decided to allow grocery stores to distribute these thicker, reusable plastic bags. So, that’s what they’re using, rather than the thin plastic bags you get in most other states."
The publicity is happening at the same time that Harris campaign insiders are saying that Harris is blaming Emhoff for her election loss and that their marriage has become strained as a result.
Emhoff has faced recent accusations that he cheated on his former wife and conceived a child with their nanny.
An ex-girlfriend also said that Emhoff slapped her when they were dating.
Let's be real though--no one cares about what Emhoff did half as much as they feared, and rightly so, that Harris would make everything Biden did worse by continuing them and making them even more radically liberal.
If she wants to feel better about her showing in the election by blaming hubby, I guess it's a free country--no thanks to her.
