Confusion Reigns Online as Wrestler Kamala Harris Dies

It would be pretty jarring to find out that, in the midst of being vetted for a potential 2020 vice president slot, a U.S. senator passed away late on a Sunday night.

But Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) did not die last night.

Kamala Harris did. Got it?

The Democratic senator from California, who some see as Biden’s top choice for vice president, is perfectly fine.

Wrestler James “Kamala” Harris did die at age 70 last night.

WWE is saddened to learn that James Harris, known to WWE fans as Kamala, has passed away at age 70.https://t.co/d0kGY4GcTO

That a number of Twitter users replied to the announcement with the hashtag #ripkamala and #ripkamalaharris didn’t help matters.

#RIPKamala IS NOT FOR KAMALA HARRIS.

I repeat #RIPKamala IS NOT FOR KAMALA HARRIS.
