Did Kamala Harris's tan suit at the DNC echo Barack Obama's 2014 controversy?
Kamala Harris attracted attention for her outfit choice rather than her beliefs. Reminiscent of former President Barack Obama's famous fashion moment, the Vice President showed up in a tan suit with a white top. Obama, who typically wore navy or black suits, caused a stir in 2014 when he showed up for a press conference on ISIS wearing a similar tan suit—a decision that some felt was unsuitable for such a serious event, as per the reports of The U.S Sun.
Obama's tan suit controversy
Obama's tan suit incident caused a lot of controversy, with some questioning whether light-colored clothing like that was appropriate for professional situations. Fox's Lou Dobbs attacked the decision, calling it «un-presidential» and raising the possibility that Obama was subtly conveying a message with his choice of color. Because of the controversy's widespread coverage, the White House press secretary at that point, Josh Earnest, defended Obama's decision and emphasized that the president stood by it at an official press conference.
