Can’t we find better things to criticise our politicians over than the fact that they laugh too much? We need more joy in politics, not less, says George Pitcher. Long may the US vice president’s laughter remain
Described as a Sky News contributor (is that a job?), someone called Teena McQueen very seriously delivered herself of the opinion that Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris “continues to laugh this ridiculous laugh. I don’t know what drugs she’s on or what makes her so happy all the time. She’s an absolute disgrace.”
For the Republican leadership, it’s evidence of insanity. “She is crazy,” diagnoses GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. “You can tell a lot by a laugh. She is nuts.”
For his running mate, JD Vance, Harris’s happy laugh is evidence that she is, in reality, deeply miserable at not having reproduced herself. He told Fox News way back in 2021 that Harris is one of “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.”
