\u201cThey mocked it because it's incredibly stupid and you know it's incredibly stupid which is why I can guarantee you don't introduce yourself in your daily life by describing your outfit\u201d

\u201cWhen you use pronouns to introduce yourself, I\u2019m assuming everything you have to say after is as idiotic as your introduction.\u201d

\u201cKamala Harris just introduced herself with she/her pronouns at an official event.\n\nShe then clarified that she was a \u201cwoman\u201d sitting at the table wearing a blue suit. \n\nThis is what happens when your speechwriter quits and you hang around with Geriatric Joe too long.\u201d

\u201cWe're hearing some folks may have questions about visual descriptions. Here's how and why to give one:\n\nVisual descriptions are an accessibility practice for blind and low-vision people. We do them to ensure that everyone can have context that sighted people may take in visually.\u201d

\u201cA good example of a visual self-description is: "I am a woman sitting at a table wearing a blue suit." \ud83d\ude09\n\nWe are glad to see this accessibility practice expanded in government, and hope to see more government leaders give visual self-descriptions in the future!\u201d

\u201c.@VP: "I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit." \n\nThere are visually impaired people around that table and she's describing herself.\n\nRight wing media has lost their \u201ceverything is woke\u201d mind\n\u201d

\u201cOn the 32nd anniversary of the ADA, @GOP thought it was a good idea to mock @VP for providing a visual description for people who are blind or have low vision. Keeping it classy, as always. #ADA32\u201d

\u201cYou know this was a meeting with disability advocates, right? Common courtesy might not be something the RNC understands, but most Americans think we should have more of it. Go on ridiculing people for being nice though.\u201d

\u201cRepublicans are truly awful for mocking the VP for providing visual descriptions for folks who are blind or have low vision.\n\nAt some point we have to just call out how cruel and disturbing their attacks are on the most vulnerable in our communities.\n\nThey are just gross bullies.\u201d

\u201cAs an author of the ADA, this is proof Republicans are not a party of inclusivity. If they paid attn to people with disabilities they\u2019d know VPOTUS was addressing people on the anniversary of the ADA that includes people who cannot see. A gross & ignorant attack. #PWDvote\u201d

\u201cThe RNC is making fun of the Vice President for describing herself to a table of disability activists, including some who are blind.\n\nThere's truly no bottom for these people.\u201d
