Kamala’s loud laugh over Ukrainian refugees’ question draws flak, netizens ask her to stop laughing during inappropriate moments
Chandigarh, March 12
US Vice President Kamala Harris is being constantly denounced on social media, as she burst into laughter when one of the media people asked her about settling Ukrainian refugees in America. Many users on social media referred her statement as ‘insensitive’ and ‘Shameful’.
Kamala was addressing a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw, where she proffered US support for NATO’s allies.
“Is the United States willing to make a specific allocation for Ukrainian refugees? And for President Duda, I wanted to know if you think and if you asked the United States to specifically accept more refugees,” a journalist is heard asking Harris.
Before responding, both leaders looked at each other and chuckled. “Okay. A friend in need is a friend indeed,” Harris said from the podium while laughing aloud.

After the awkward laugh, both the leaders kept on answering questions but social media users seemed quite upset with the inconsiderate gesture.
Kamala Harris’ lack of preparation for high-level discussions is alarming. https://t.co/BXx3yQOixQ
Because our politicians have no idea what they are doing in Europe right now.
Please stop laughing during inappropriate moments @KamalaHarris @vp . It makes you and our country look foolish. https://t.co/hSotHRHyYU

She looked to him so she could avoid answering a question that she can’t answer. As always. https://t.co/F6VWxOG8bc
