Many mocked King on X [formerly Twitter], while a few came to her rescue. A fan wrote, “She had a $12 latte in her hand. What is she supposed to do, carry her own umbrella?” Another commented, “Don’t you think she’s also creating employment. If she’s not carrying the umbrella, how will she get paid.”
One individual also took a dig at her, referring to her 2025 trip to the edge of space. They wrote, “She is a very important astronaut!” Meanwhile, a supporter of King defended her, saying that it was “okay to hire an assistant.” “Wealthy people have staffs. But y’all critique everything these elites do like it’s a crime, while ignoring actual issues,” they stated.
