“Not her making a fake boomerang,” said one tweeter, whose post has gone massively viral on Twitter. They weren’t alone, either.
“She really said “Imma put the BOOMER in boomerang” and she ate ofc,” joked one. This is so embarrassing,” added another. This is hilarious because a boomerang goes back and forth,” commented another.
