She wrote: ‘Kamala is ABSOLUTELY a brat, a drunk, a fraud, bad taste in music, a party girl, uneducated as hell, thinks we’re not correlating with Merck, a cliché in every way that needs a revamp.
Addressing British star Charli, she added: ‘And now all of a sudden a non-citizen with tons of problems in her own country because of Brexit, something like 2 in 5 children don’t have enough to eat.

‘The English are worried about not being able to heat their homes this winter
‘Girl, you’re uninformed and attention hungry, please give her a damn break.
‘You have no idea what life is like for women in the United States and you know nothing about Kamala Harris.
‘Go ahead and pay that 48% California state tax on top of the 30% federal tax. Please be my guest.
“Don’t fool yourself, sister. The American girls will run you out of town without hesitation.

The pop star’s tweet quickly went viral and caught the attention of Kamala, 59, who then got involved and revised her campaign to include a reference to Charli’s new album.
The release of the singer’s latest album, called Brat, in June has sparked a massive social media trend that sees people embracing their inner “brats” this summer.
While Charli’s post left many news anchors confused, Kamala herself seemed to be completely on board with the message.
In fact, within hours she was already embracing the hashtag, changing the header image for her campaign’s X account, titled Kamala HQ, to resemble the album’s iconic lime green cover.
Since Charli XCX shared her post about Kamala, her fans began posting edits that show a montage of clips of the vice president while one of Charli XCX’s songs plays in the background.
Since the LP dropped last month, hundreds of thousands of people have shared videos on TikTok showing all the ways they’re having a “brat summer,” whether it’s wearing the lime green color that’s on the album cover or dancing to Charli XCX’s new songs.
And after Charli XCX shared her post about Kamala, her dedicated fans began posting edits that feature a montage of clips of the vice president while one of Charli XCX’s songs plays in the background.
In another interview, Charli XCX said about being a spoiled brat: ‘It can be a luxury, but it can also be very vulgar.
“A pack of cigarettes, a Bic lighter, and a white strappy top. No bra. That’s all you need.”
Some businesses have even gotten involved, with bars and cafes promoting bright green drinks.
Stars like Stephen Colbert, Glen Powell and Ashley Tisdale have also gotten in on the trend.
Ashley uploaded a clip of herself dancing to Charli XCX’s song Apple, which she captioned: “I may be pregnant but I’m still having a brat summer.”
When asked what his song of the summer was during a recent interview, Glen replied, “Well, it’s a brat summer, so…”
Stephen danced to one of his songs live during his show and then uploaded it to TikTok and wrote: “Stephen Colbrat.”
