Out of curiosity, I clicked the “Kamala Harris laughing compilation for 2 minutes straight” Twitter link. Her laugh doesn’t seem particularly objectionable to me, or even unusual. It’s just a woman having a good time. If anything, it made me smile.
What an odd thing to criticize. It says a lot more about him than it does about her.
They're bullies. Like, actual, factual, grade-school bullies.
*Also, here's a non-twitter link for everyone: https://files.catbox.moe/dtcdcr.mp4
Thank you for the catbox file! Seriously, she sounds fun and perfectly normal. However, to the repressed conservative, I can understand their scorn. If they can't laugh without going to hell then no one can!
I believe the joke here is that he has literally never seen a woman laugh or have a good time in his presence
Anyone who doesn't find that video endearing has something seriously disturbed going on in their head.
This is the first time I can recall having someone so human and genuine run for the presidency. Obama was close, but he was also so polished and reserved, probably because he felt he needed to be as the first black president. Kamala seems like someone who's really speaking from the heart, and I think that's what America needs most right now.
There's nothing special about her laugh... Republicans must have a very boring life if they never laughed like that...
He doesn't want her to have a good time, or for her to show she's relatable.
It could very well be as simple as that. He doesn’t necessarily hate her laugh. He hates the fact that she’s happy.
Nah it's just bullying. The way you make someone stop doing something is to make fun of it.
Of course, the perfect reaction would be for her to laugh in his face.
That's why he's dodging a debate with her. It would be like 2-hours of her laughing through his mic, even with her muted mic, while he flops around like Magicarp trying to answer simple policy questions without resorting to name calling and complaining about being unable to flush documents down a toilet!
Thanks for sharing that. Watching it made me happy. Her laugh is fun.
I feel like they're desperately trying to replicate the Dean Scream to invalidate her.
Problem is, I feel like condensing a quirk into a memeable video nowadays would only accelerate a campaign. Memes are so good at marketing that brands have been trying to harness them for a while.
There’s not enough footage to make a video of Trump laughing for two minutes. Man has no sense of humour.
They also made fun of AOC for dancing like a normal human being.
