Former Vice President Kamala Harris -- also a failed presidential candidate -- didn't have a very good Fourth of July holiday, at least not on the public relations front.
According to the New York Post, the former vice president was slammed across social media for posting what many described as a "gloomy" Independence Day post while also using a photo that clearly had former President Joe Biden cropped out.
The situation shouldn't come as a surprise, as Harris has a tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time, and typically went viral for all the wrong reasons while she was vice president and ultimately a presidential candidate.
Her message was especially dark, warning her followers that things would "probably get worse" before they get better, which was an obvious symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome on the left.
Harris put out the doom and gloom statement on her official X account.
"This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better," Harris wrote.
She added, "But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation."

The New York Post noted:
X users were quick to point out that the image Harris promoted — which showed her and first gentleman Doug Emhoff enjoying an Independence Day fireworks display in July 2024 — was conveniently framed to exclude Biden and first lady Jill.
The picture drew mountains of criticism from both sides of the aisle.
Users across social media were quick to point out that the former president was cropped out of the photo Harris posted on her X account.
The Post noted:
“Kamala cropping Joe out is very symbolic,” noted Link Lauren, a former senior adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign, publishing another shot from the White House balcony that shows the first couple just feet away.
Another X user wrote, "Hahahahahaha. You cropped out Joe and Jill."
Obviously, Harris' social media team hasn't learned much since she's been out of office.
