A post on X (formerly Twitter) regarding the Wisconsin school shooting has sparked a hilarious and brutal takedown from a Community Note, leading to a wave of reactions on the social media platform.
The post, written by user @AesPolitics1, who has over 70.5k followers, suggested: “Trump won’t do a damn thing about school shootings. Harris would have.” The statement, which seemed to pit former President Donald Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris in the debate over school shootings, was quickly flagged by Community Notes—a feature on X aimed at providing factual clarifications.
The response from Community Notes was swift and to the point: “Kamala is currently in office.”
The note quickly gained attention, with users having a field day with the correction, given that Kamala Harris is indeed the sitting Vice President under President Joe Biden. The comment’s takedown prompted a flood of reactions, ranging from sarcastic comments to outright criticism.
One user reacted to the brutal correction with a touch of humor: “In case people in the comments are making you feel kinda bad? ?? Community Notes just SLAYED YOU! ??”
Others used the moment to share their frustrations about the political situation. One user chimed in, “We don’t have a gun problem. We have a mental illness/democrat problem. When will Democrats stop shooting kids and blaming Republicans?”
Another comment sharply criticized Democrats in general: “God just another fing moronic Democrat! Biden and Harris are still in office, dumb f!”
The post also ignited several back-and-forth debates, with some users pointing out the obvious: “She’s the current VPOTUS!! Are Harris supporters the dumbest people on earth?”
Another user took a direct jab: “Joe and Kamala are president and vice president right now. Right. Now.”
The criticism was relentless with some going so far as to question Harris’ actions: “Kamala is still the Vice-President. So what has she done? Clue: absolutely nothing.”
