Republicans were quick to blame Monday's tumbling stock market on Vice President Kamala Harris, with the phrase "Kamala Crash" circulating widely across social media.

Several major brokerages, including Fidelity and Charles Schwab, were down for thousands of users on Monday as recession fears fueled trading, according to Reuters.
