Kamala Harris has been spotted showing off her moves at a White House party celebrating hip-hop’s 50th anniversary.
But she didn’t hit the mark when a critic on social media said she dances like a “grandma.”
Political commentator Anthony Brian Logan called out Harris in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, for mocking how she looked while grooving to Q-Tip’s 1999 hit Vivrant Thing.
“Kamala Harris with the grandma moves at her 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop party,” on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The post caused a flood of comments that weren’t particularly nice, with some joking and making their eyes hurt.
‘My eyes. MY EYES!’ someone said.
“Please, Lord, give me back my sight,” another teased.
‘Wow!!!! My kid has better moves than this!’ someone else wrote.
‘She has to put on those ill-fitting men’s suits again. Pink pants don’t look good,” a fourth cruelly joked.
But there were also those who happily praised her, came to her defense and called out people’s “obsession with her.”
“She’s got moves,” said one of her fans.
‘The obsession with her should be that studying is a new disease. She dances better than any vice president in American history. Easy,” another claimed.
‘She dances the same as the boys next to her! WTF!? Maybe you should all check out Trump’s cringe-inducing dance moves!’ another stated.
‘She did great…….TF people are talking about??’ said another.
Harris hosted a celebration of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary on Saturday with performances by some of the music genre’s pioneers and stars.
Common, Jeezy, MC Lyte and Roxanne Shante were among the hip-hop artists invited to join Harris for the party at the vice presidential residence.
Hip-hop’s 50th anniversary has led to numerous anniversary events this year.
Many trace the genre’s creation to a back-to-school party on August 11, 1973, where 18-year-old Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc, deejayed at an apartment building in the Bronx in New York City.
Harris said hip-hop is “the ultimate American art form” that “shapes every aspect of American popular culture.”
“Hip-hop culture is American culture,” she told the crowd.

Hip-hop has grown into a global art form and has become one of the most influential cultural forces in the world, an integral part of movements for social and racial justice and a multi-billion dollar industry built on generations of rapping, emceeing, deejaying, breaking and graffiti.
Harris noted that Public Enemy rapper Chuck D has described rap as “Black America’s CNN.”
“It has always channeled the voices of the people. It tells the stories that don’t make the news,” she said before watching the musicians perform with her husband, Doug Emhoff.
Saturday’s celebration was a collaboration with Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective and Live Nation Urban.
“This is a hip-hop household!” said Emhoff.
