Drew Barrymore's Awkward Interview With Kamala Harris Has The Internet Divided

Drew Barrymore is known for getting extremely close to people she's interviewing.

She got right up in Dua Lipa's face last week.

She did it feet-on-the-couch with Oprah.

And one time, she was literally clenching Brooke Shields.

But now a clip of her interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris is going viral.

In the clip, Drew is, as always, extremely close to her interview subject.

But the "I need you to be mamala of the country" line is *really* going viral.

"Excuse me... WHAT?" this person said.

"This would piss me off so bad. I'm the Vice President of THE United States and you're talking about being mamala," another person said.

This person asked what or who made Drew say "mamala" in the first place.

And this person said she could see Kamala's soul leave her body at that exact moment.

Here's her face at that moment FWIW:

Not everyone is up in arms about the mamala thing, though! This person threatened anyone coming after Drew for the comment.

Ultimately, it appears "mamala" has been added to our online vernacular and will be used for years to come.

I'm personally still convinced five minutes with Drew on that couch could fix me.

Bye!
