SBA chief Kelly Loeffler mocked after awkward TikTok video with empty binder
Small Business Administration administrator Kelly Loeffler faced widespread ridicule after posting a TikTok Q&A where she walked awkwardly while holding an empty three-ring binder.
Former Georgia senator Kelly Loeffler, now administrator of the Small Business Administration, posted a brief TikTok session intended to address frequently asked questions about the agency. The video shows her at the end of a hallway, limping slightly, and holding a navy-blue three-ring binder that looks empty as she walks toward the camera. Social-media users ridiculed her awkward walk, the seemingly useless binder, and questioned her suitability for the role, with comments ranging from jokes about “deep-state” staff to critiques of her handling of small-business issues.
Critics also noted her high heels and age-related joint concerns, while some observers referenced her past as a billionaire and her husband’s former NYSE CEO position. The clip quickly went viral, generating a flurry of memes and sarcastic remarks across TikTok and Threads.
