n a breaking and bizarre development, rumors are swirling that Vice President Kamala Harris was recently spotted tumbling out of a coconut tree. While the Vice President’s office has yet to confirm or deny the incident, an anonymous source has indicated, “No coconuts were harmed, and her smile was as wide as ever.” Eyewitnesses describe the VP scaling a tall palm on what was supposed to be a “casual, no-press” wellness retreat.
