In the wake of media reports that her staff is “dysfunctional” and they “feel like s*it,” Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband hosted said staff at their residence for a summer BBQ on Thursday. Check out the photos:

But it’s clear that someone distributed the photos to the staffers are there are duplicates showing up on different staffers’ feeds.
Here’s the same one as above:

The hashtag to coordinate the message is a nice touch, too:
What an honor to be at the Vice President’s residence with incredible colleagues for a post July 4th BBQ. As always an honor to work on a team that looks like America. Thank you, @VP & @SecondGentleman for having us over! #VPRBBQ pic.twitter.com/PxH4FUjvfq

Maybe they’re mocking a video of Joe Biden and that’s why they’re laughing?

And this staffer can’t even keep his story straight. Harris clearly didn’t take the photo on the left because that’s her in the background. And the photo on the right isn’t a “selfie” if the VP took it:
Me, taking every opportunity for selfies with @OpalVadhan46@VP: Hand over that phone!

And the obligatory group shot:
“You’re having an impact on people you may never meet, people who may never know your names but because of the work you do their lives forever will be uplifted and better.” – @VP #VPRBBQ pic.twitter.com/HxLARUVcex
