A reporter asked a question to both Kamala Harris and Andrzej Duda, Poland’s president. The question involved setting up an infrastructure to help refugees. Both reacted with laughter, but Kamala Harris went on to laugh more than usual. This received criticism by many. “The View” addressed this criticism as if it were racism and misogyny. One suggested that if Harris was a man, these criticisms would probably not happen.<\/p>\n

The incident itself happened at the tail end of a press conference on Thursday between the US vice president and Polish president Andrzej Duda. A reporter asked Harris if America would be capable of accepting more Ukrainian refugees, and then asked Duda if that was something he brought up already with her.<\/p>\n

Since the reporter asked a question to both of them, the pair of world leaders ended up staring at each other for a moment unsure who would go first.<\/p>\n

This is when Harris exploded with laughter on the podium.<\/p>\n

The reactions to the viral Harris incident went around “The View” table. 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.”<\/p>\n

Guest co-host Stephanie Grisham also offered a reaction. While thinking it’d still be “inappropriate” to Harris on laughter alone, she explained that people’s gripes came from the issue of it coming off like a lack of preparedness on the part of the vice president and her staff. “I think she has gone on multiple occasions a little bit underprepared with some of the questions that she’s been asked,” Grisham said.<\/p>\n

Behar’s colleague Sunny Hostin said she believed that right-wingers “constantly question the qualifications of black women,” and that anyone who thinks poorly of Harris’s job performance has those feelings rooted in “racism” and “misogyny.”<\/p>\n

Hostin reminded the audience of the general purpose for the vice president’s trip in visiting NATO allies amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Under that backdrop, she framed the gaffe with the Polish president as “much ado about nothing.”<\/p>\n

Ana Navarro, a frequent co-host, said: “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 a similar approach to Hostin’s reaction in pointing to Harris’s immigrant upbringing and law school education as things working in the vice president’s favor. “They do this all the time,” she said about the Harris backlash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
