Wondering how Vice President Kamala Harris’ inappropriate laughter at a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw on Thursday may have been received by the Ukrainian people?
After watching a video of the exchange, a former spokeswoman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote in a Twitter post, “It would be a tragedy if this woman won the presidency.”
Iuliia Mendel, who represented Zelenskyy for two years, quickly deleted it, but unfortunately for her, a screenshot of the post has gone viral on social media.
A reporter, noting that Poland’s humanitarian resources were being overwhelmed by the sheer number of people fleeing the war torn country, asked Harris if the U.S. was willing to accept Ukrainian refugees. She followed with a second question for Duda to answer. The expectation, it appeared, was that Harris would reply first.
An awkward moment ensued which prompted Harris to laugh.
“Okay,” she said, laughing. “A friend in need is a friend indeed,” Harris added, laughing harder. Duda came to the rescue and spoke first.
Mendel had responded to the following post:
Only Kamala Harris would find it appropriate to laugh when talking about the topic of Ukrainian Refugees.

The Daily Caller published a screenshot of Mendel’s now deleted tweet.
At a time when Ukraine needs America more than ever, the optics of Mendel’s punch at the Vice President weren’t great. After all, it’s always best not to upset the regime in charge when they’re supplying your country with javelins.
But Mendel’s reaction was actually quite understandable. She was just expressing the obvious – Kamala Harris, who is a heartbeat away from the presidency, is unfit for the job.
Discussing refugees is no laughing matter. Why she laughs at this is deranged.

This episode is only the latest instance of the Vice President’s inappropriate behavior on the world stage. Another memorable occasion came during an August press conference following President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The New York Post described her response to a reporter’s question like this: “’Hold on, hold on — slow down, everybody!’ Harris said, before letting out her now-notorious laugh, shaking her shoulders as she chuckled. … The VP finally controlled herself to insist that the Biden administration ‘couldn’t have a higher priority right now’ than Afghanistan.”
How has she not trained that laugh away yet?

Nearly every public appearance ends with a viral soundbite that showcases Harris’ inability to think on her feet. Rather than the second highest ranking U.S. public official, she more resembles a giggling adolescent.
As the world watches the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine, the Vice President of the United States is laughing out loud. She wasn’t prepared to answer the reporter’s question, although she should have been. It was topical and relevant. She had traveled to Poland to show U.S. support for the Ukrainian people.
A chuckle at the awkwardness of the moment would have been excusable, but laughing out loud during a news conference about the worst humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II was in incredibly bad taste.
One would think the U.S. couldn’t do much worse than the buffoon who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But the thought of a potential President Kamala Harris makes one wonder.

Wouldn’t it be the ultimate insult, to allow that idiot become the president, through succession, or by any means? I think the two were put up as candidates to throw a punch in the face of all those who voted for Trump, in 2016, and 2020, and to intentionally make a joke of everything our country stands for. Neither Biden, nor Harris stand for anything found in our former Constitution, only the destruction thereof.
I call what we are being made to go through as a very sick joke.
By putting the two on the same ticket, it was intended that if one fails, dies or resigns, the other continues by changing only the puppet strings.
