A new conspiracy theory just dropped, and this one is perhaps the strangest yet.
People online believe Vice President Kamala Harris might just be part fish.
Apparently, Harris, 58, looked fishy during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address last week, leading some people on TikTok and Twitter to theorise something was up with the VP.
TikTok user deelovesroberto posted a video zooming in on Harris during the speech as she sat behind Biden.

In one video, that was taken down for posting misleading content, the TikToker wrote, “is it just me or what is this creature that doesn’t breathe and has fish gills or something weird?!”
\u201cMaybe this is why Kamala didn\u2019t care when her husband and Jill kissed in front of her\u2026was it even Kamala? What is going on here? Lol.\u201d— Liz Churchill (@Liz Churchill) 1675882794
\u201c@POTUS @VP She has fish gills\u201d— President Biden (@President Biden) 1675856283
The video was circulated around Twitter where others jumped in on the theory claiming Harris was wearing a rubber mask.
\u201c@KamalaHarris And why did you look like you were wearing a rubber mask at the SOTU? Look like you had fish gills on your neck. You know the D party getting ready to boot you out.\u201d— Kamala Harris (@Kamala Harris) 1675956605
In another video, posted by deelovesroberto, the user claimed Harris had “demonic eyes.”
\u201c@liz_churchill8 I just wonder why her and Bidens eyes are so black. Doesn\u2019t Biden have light blue eyes??\u201d— Liz Churchill (@Liz Churchill) 1675882794
The “gills” people online seem to be referring to are wrinkles on Harris’ neck.
As for the “demonic eyes,” Harris has dark brown eyes and the lighting in the Capitol may have been too dim for cameras to catch her irises.
As leaders of the US, Harris and Biden are often subject to conspiracy theories, especially from people associated with the far-right.
People will accuse Biden of using a body double or being a shapeshifting reptile sent from aliens to take over the world.
