Kim Kardashian posted a cartoon image of herself with President Barack Obama on Instagram & Twitter Monday night, writing: "I’m standing w Obama in the midterm election 2morrow!' despite him not being up for re-election."
But the 34-year-old star was accused of misunderstanding the midterm elections. Kim was instantly mocked for the post, with Twitter users explaining that Obama is clearly not on the ballot for Tuesday's midterms.
Some users labelled Kim an 'airhead' while another called her a 'useless bimbo' as they assumed Kim was encouraging her Twitter followers to vote for the President.
However, others pointed out that perhaps Kim's tweet meant she was 'standing' with Obama in voting along Democratic party lines (despite the fact that in 2002 she appeared to back Republican hopeful Rick Santorum).
Either way, Kim did not respond to her critics, or clarify the assumption that she had misunderstood the midterms. Instead, on Tuesday she encouraged her 25 million followers: "Today is the day! Go out and vote!"
