From The Hill: Former President Barack Obama commemorated the 10th anniversary of his tan suit controversy with a social media post praising Vice President Harris.
He posted side-by-side photos of him wearing his tan suit from 2014 and of Harris wearing her tan suit at the Democratic National Convention last week. This comes 10 years after his decision to wear a tan suit as he spoke about the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and Russia’s intervention in Ukraine sparked an online furor.
“How it started. How it’s going. Ten years later, and it’s still a good look!” Obama wrote in a post on social media platforms X and Instagram.
He also shared a link to IWillVote.com, a website paid for by the Democratic National Committee to encourage Americans to check their voter registration status.
Right or wrong, Obama became the butt of jokes in 2014 when he wore a tan suit to a press briefing. Then Harris wore a tan suit during the Democratic National Convention last week, one day prior to Obama taking the stage.
How it started. How it’s going.
Ten years later, and it’s still a good look! https://t.co/NKXRGNgJPv pic.twitter.com/KeI1gn7HSg

While Democrats are gushing over the photo comparisons, conservatives are pouncing on it as evidence that Harris will just be another Obama ‘puppet.’
Below are just a few of the scorching comments and memes that are pouring in…

It all started with a fake birth certificate from Hawaii.

It started with a divisive race baiting POS and it destroyed our country.

I am ashamed to have voted for you in both 2008 and 2012. We were deceived on so many levels.

Same outfit as Obama.
Much lower IQ than Obama.

This is proof that she’s your 2nd installed puppet after Biden. You once had a wet dream of being president while not being at the forefront

So, you are admitting that you are still pulling the puppet strings. Thanks. We will defeat you!
