   Vice President Kamala Harris touted her pro-labor stripes this   
   weekend when she claimed in an interview that she did not eat a   
   grape until she was in her 20s because of union boycotts on   
   grape growers. But according to an analysis by the New York   
   Post, Harris's story of union solidarity is inconsistent with   
   the timeline of the grape boycotts.   
      
   "This sounds quaint, and so I'm reluctant to say it, but, you   
   know, I didn't eat a grape until I was in my 20s. Like,   
   literally, had never had a grape," Harris told the Nation. "It   
   was absolutely ingrained so deeply in me: Never cross a picket   
   line."   
      
   But Harris would have crossed a picket line if she ate non-union   
   grapes in her 20s. For all of her 20s, the United Farm Workers   
   union imposed a boycott on grape growers. And Harris would have   
   had ample opportunity to eat grapes during her childhood, when   
   the UFW negotiated settlements and ended its earlier boycotts.   
      
   The first UFW grape boycott took place from 1965, when Harris   
   was less than a year old, to 1970, when she was five years old,   
   the Post noted. The second boycott started in 1973, when Harris   
   was eight years old, and ended when she was 13 in 1978. Harris   
   could have eaten any grapes under a clean pro-labor conscience   
   from when she was 13 until she was 19, when the UFW started its   
   third and final grape boycott.   
      
   That boycott, which ran from 1984 to 2000, took place for all of   
   Harris's 20s. That means if the vice president was forgoing   
   grapes through her teenage years until she was in her 20s, as   
   her comments in the Nation imply, she would have gone from   
   needlessly avoiding grapes when there was no boycott to crossing   
   a picket line and disregarding the UFW's strike.   
      
   The Post linked Harris's grape story to another seemingly   
   anachronistic tale from her youth that she told during an   
   interview in 2019. When asked which artists she listened to when   
   she smoked marijuana in college, Harris said she listened to   
   Tupac and Snoop Dogg, both of whom did not release albums until   
   at least five years after she graduated from Howard University.
