Vice President Kamala Harris Under Fire For Laughing When Asked About Ukrainian Refugees

“Okay,” Harris responded after being asked the reporter’s question. “A friend in need is a friend indeed," she added before she started her untimely laughter. The situation was reportedly so awkward that President Duda and a number of reporters looked around uncomfortably before chuckling along.

After the laughter stopped, both Harris and Duda went on to ultimately confirm that there has been significant discussion between the two nations concerning where to send the fleeing and helpless Ukrainian refugees, which is when the Vice President reassured her audience that "we will not send them back to what is a war zone."

“Can someone please tell her to quit cackling during serious situations?” another embarrassed commenter tweeted. “I mean seriously. This is common sense. No-one in the administration is willing to tell her?”

“How could ANYONE look at the Ukrainian refugees in the camps in Poland and think it’s a laughing matter?” yet another person commented.

Still, despite a substantial number of people calling Harris out for the awkward and uncomfortable moment while discussing a major and serious concern, others were just as quick to defend her and attempt to clarify just what exactly the VP was laughing about.

“But you know that she does not laugh at the question asked, but who will first answer. if you watched the entire conference you would know why she laughed,” one person replied.

“Oh FFS - she wasn't laughing at the question,” another person ready to defend Harris wrote. “She was laughing at the awkward moment when they looked at each other not knowing who was going to answer the question. They both laughed.”
