Trump's campaign works to convince voters that Harris is 'crazy' because of her laugh
Vice President Kamala Harris has been criticized for her race, gender and parental status, but the latest target from her opponent Trump and others is her laugh.
Vice President Kamala Harris has been criticized for her race, gender, parental status — and most recently, her laugh.
With conservatives designating her laugh as “crazy,” “nuts” and a “cackle” in recent weeks, the language used to describe it is loaded and steeped in sexism, experts are saying.
During a campaign stop last week, former President Donald Trump mocked Harris’ laugh, calling her “laughing Kamala.”
“You can tell a lot by a laugh,” he said. “She’s crazy, she’s nuts.”
The National Republican Senatorial Committee released a memo last week highlighting what it saw as weaknesses in the Democratic camp. The last section read: “Weird” (a response to Harris’ campaign levying the same insult at Trump and Vance) with bullet points that included “Kamala Harris has a habit of laughing at inappropriate moments.”
