Vice President Kamala Harris faced backlash on Twitter for prioritizing the issue of airplane restroom inequity, with users questioning why she would focus on this while the southern border crisis and rising prices remain unresolved.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Harris wrote, "The majority of domestic flights do not have accessible restrooms. This is absolutely unacceptable. Our Administration will soon announce a solution to help end this inequity."
Twitter users responded with laughter and confusion, expressing concern that remodeling aircraft to include accessible restrooms would lead to increased domestic flight prices.
The Arizona Libertarian Party sarcastically asked, "So when seating capacity is diminished, do you plan to deploy the government to solve the pricing problem the government created?"
Actor Dean Cain chimed in, saying, "Yeah get on that VP!! Forget the Border, and all the other"
One user commented, "I honestly had to check to see if this was a parody account."
Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, simply wrote, "Really?"
Another user pointed out, "What are you talking about?!?! I fly all the time and the only flights that do not have bathrooms are the puddle jumper flights that have like 10 seats and only fly 40-45 minutes."
Rob Schmitt from Newsmax expressed his concerns, saying, "Oh fn lovely. Get ready for trans bathrooms big enough to hold a baby whale and the increase in ticket prices for the rest of us to make up for the missing row of seats."
One user sarcastically remarked, "I thought you were fixing the border and doing AI regulation, but airplane bathrooms now"
Harris posted the tweet on Tuesday evening, shortly after receiving sarcasm for her definition of transportation during a roundtable discussion. She stated, "This issue of transportation is fundamentally about just making sure that people have the ability to get where they need to go! It's that basic." Tomi Lahren responded on Twitter, sarcastically calling her a "genius."
Republican communicator Steve Guest criticized Harris, saying, "Kamala Harris gives voice to thought and then this nonsense comes out. She can't be serious."
