The View ladies say mocking Kamala’s weird laughing fits is ‘racism’ and ‘misogyny’

According to some members of “The View” daytime discuss present on Friday, any critic who watched Vice President Kamala Harris chuckle when requested a severe query about Ukrainian refugees amidst the Russian invasion are possible right-wing sexist bigots for expressing embarrassment and mocking the weird laughting fits.

This is when Harris exploded with laughter on the rostrum.

The reactions to the viral Harris incident went round “The View” desk. Longtime co-host Joy Behar reacted, saying: “I personally think if she was a guy, they would never say it, because they also made fun of Hillary’s laugh.”

While considering it’d nonetheless be “inappropriate” to Harris on laughter alone, she defined that folks’s gripes got here from the difficulty of it coming off like a scarcity of preparedness on the a part of the vice chairman and her workers. “I think she has gone on multiple occasions a little bit underprepared with some of the questions that she’s been asked,” Grisham mentioned.

Ana Navarro, a frequent co-host, mentioned: “Look. Anybody who says that Kamala Harris is not a qualified person, that Kamala Harris is not a serious person, really needs to go back and check where that’s coming from.” Beyond that, Navarro took the same strategy to Hostin’s response in pointing to Harris’s immigrant upbringing and regulation faculty schooling as issues working within the vice chairman’s favor. “They do this all the time,” she mentioned concerning the Harris backlash.

Behar ended up admitting folks like her had been laborious on former Republican Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for being seemingly unprepared years in the past when she was within the 2008 presidential election highlight. She’s keen to entertain the notion that perhaps this is “payback” for that period.

It’s unclear the place former spokeswoman for Ukrainian President Zelenskyy would sit in “The View” worldview. It was on Thursday that ex-Zelenskyy spokesperson Iuliia Mendel reacted to the Harris gaffe by commenting, “It would be a tragedy if this woman won the presidency.” She deleted the tweet later that very same day.

On the subject of the Russian invasion, Behar initially reacted with devastation, significantly the potential risk that the battle would have on her Italy journey plans.
