It’s no secret that Mindy is one of Vice President Harris’ biggest fans.

Her words made a lasting impression on her three-year-old, Kit Kaling. “I was at work, but apparently she said: ‘Is that mommy? It looks like mommy,'” Mindy wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of Kit sitting on the couch while watching the inauguration. “Best compliment I ever got! It matters. Happy Inauguration everyone.”
