Kamala Harris faces sexism and racism as online commenters label her 'Black Hillary'

Washington -- Despite all the fury on social media about the fly on Mike Pence’s head and Kamala Harris’ demeanor, analysts say the vice presidential debate is unlikely to alter the state of the presidential race.

Yet the attacks on Harris afterward were particularly harsh.

The comments during and after Wednesday’s debate were full of complaints that the Democratic vice presidential candidate was too snarky, catty, and had an annoying voice. Many took issue with her facial expressions.

“Take it like a woman. Don’t make faces,” tweeted former Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

“Mike Pence was a gentleman, forthright and focused. He delivered his plan for America brilliantly,” actor James Woods said on Twitter. “Kamala Harris behaved like a ‘Valley Girl,’ smirking and rolling her eyes like a petulant brat, dodging every question she was asked.”

It might have been because a smirk is a normal expression to have on your face when debating Pence. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with her voice. They’re all incels.

thinks of Kamala.

In this article, Kamala faces sexism and racism specifically from a bunch of prominent Fox imbeciles. Who is surprised, and who cares?

Question: Does she have a job?

Answer: No. She's not on Faux and no longer on NBC, but is now supposedly doing "podcasts".

Conclusion: She's irrelevant.

All that botox and surgery left her incapable of making faces. Go crawl back under your rock, Megyn. That way we can all go back to forgetting who you even were.

Why anyone gives a rat's ass what James Woods thinks is beyond me.
