Finally, someone who knows what a brat is (e.g. “Stop being a spoiled brat”). It’s a pretty common term. Why so many around here are unfamiliar with it is beyond me.

Well, I read it as "Kamala is brat", not "Kamala is a brat". So, I .. and I guess others .. assumed that the phrase meant something else in urban lingo.
