Users also joked at the fact that in some bizarre universe, Montel could have been the husband of the vice president.

Some users old enough to even know who Montel is also momentarily questioned whether Kamala had actually dated ’90s rap star Montel Jordan.

“Had to pause for a min and think ‘Williams or Jordan?’ but then realized it didn’t matter because it would’ve been hilarious to have either Montel as a 2nd Gentleman,” @roywoodjr said.

In reality, news of the old relationship has made the rounds online multiple times before.

Just one year ago, many on Twitter learned about Harris and Williams for the first time.

Williams even discussed the news in a tweet back then, stating that he had “great respect for Sen. Harris.”
