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.

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

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

Some online complained about “the wrong Kamala Harris” dying.
