The Internet is divided after learning that Vice President Kamala Harris’ guilty pleasure is nacho cheese Doritos, a treat she says soothed her soul after the “shock and dismay” of the 2016 election.
In a fundraising email her team sent out Friday night, she revealed that she ate the entire bag of chips by herself that night.

“Then I came home and sat on the couch with a family-sized bag of Doritos and didn’t share a single chip with anyone… I just stared at the TV in complete shock and dismay.”
She even revealed that she didn’t share any of the fries with her husband, Doug Emhoff.
But most importantly, he told his fans: “Eight years later, two things are true: I still love Doritos and we still haven’t stopped fighting.”
