Vice President Kamala Harris Addresses Criticism About Her Laugh

The VP explained that she takes some disapproval with a grain of salt.

“I mean, my staff, for example, sometimes they’ll show me little things that just amuse me,” Harris admitted during a chat with actress-turned-talk show host Drew Barrymore. “Like, apparently, some people love to talk about the way I laugh.”

“Well, let me just tell you something. I have my mother’s laugh,” Harris continued. “And I grew up around a bunch of women, in particular, who laughed from the belly. They laughed. They would sit around the kitchen and — drinking their coffee, telling big stories with big laughs.”
