The statement and accompanying image draw a parallel between Kamala Harris's alleged scolding of pro-Palestinian protesters and the character Squealer from George Orwell's 'Animal Farm.' The intent appears to be critical of Harris's approach, suggesting it is authoritarian and manipulative, similar to the tactics used by Squealer to control the other animals on the farm. The tone is critical and somewhat mocking, using a literary reference to make a political point.
