Georgia Young Democrats President Parker Short is going viral on TikTok for the energy he brought to Vice President Kamala Harris' Atlanta rally, enthusiastically rapping along to Kendrick Lamar.
Video from Tuesday shows Short energetically dancing and singing along to Lamar's "Not Like Us" while holding a "Kamala" sign.
"They not like WHO," the user posted, riffing on Short's whiteness.
