WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News host Sean Hannity has escalated his criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris, honing in on one particular aspect - her laugh.

Just a day after suggesting that voters "seem to detest" Harris because of it, Hannity raised concerns about how Harris would be perceived on the world stage.

Sean Hannity says foreign adversaries won't take her seriously

In a conversation with Senator Lindsey Graham, Hannity expressed doubts that foreign adversaries such as China, Iran, and Russia would take Harris seriously.

“I don’t care if it’s China, Iran, North Korea, Russia—they never feared Joe Biden. They did fear Donald Trump. They won’t fear Kamala Harris,” Hannity told Sen Graham (R-SC).

“They’ll laugh at Kamala Harris because that’s what she does half the time anyway. She giggles away, you know, her time. I don’t think they’ll take her seriously because I don’t think she’s a serious person.”



 

Hannity’s critique aligns with the stance taken by former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee, who have also targeted Harris for her laughter, labeling her "Laughing Kamala."

Trump, addressing a Michigan crowd, described Harris's laughter as evidence of her being "crazy."

"Have you seen her laughing? She is crazy. You can tell a lot by a laugh. She is nuts," Trump said, prompting a response from First Gentleman Doug Emhoff: "That’s all he’s got?"

Republican critique of Kamala Harris extends beyond policy

Republicans have amplified this narrative through various channels, including their rapid response account on X, which highlighted Harris’s campaign speech in Wisconsin with the caption, “Kamala Harris brought her cackle to Milwaukee: ‘Good afternoon, Wisconsin! Ha ha ha ha!’”

Hannity hasn't just focused on Harris’s laughter but has also accused her of wanting to ban plastic straws - a move that Media Matters’ Matt Gertz described as the Fox host “literally” grasping at straws.



 

Meanwhile, other conservatives have brought up different concerns, such as her race. Some have smeared Harris as a “DEI pick,” drawing rebuke from House GOP leaders who prefer policy-focused arguments.

Public backlash highlights Sean Hannity's waning credibility

Gayle Glade's tweet encapsulates a sentiment shared by many online critics of Sean Hannity's recent attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris. Hannity's focus on trivializing Harris's laughter has sparked widespread condemnation.

One user wrote, "She has traveled abroad and was very effective as VP. She was effective as AG, as prosecutor, as a Senator. The world reserves laughter for no talent propagandist Hannity."



 

Another user replied, "They are so desperate!"



 

One user commented, "@seanhannity you are JOKE and @LindseyGrahamSC you are just PATHETIC."



 

One added, "Hannity has a diminished capacity, and needs to step down immediately."



 

Another user said, "It's always interesting to see Lindsey Graham bobbing his head in agreement with Sean Hannity when FOX News was sued millions for lying."



 

One user stated, "Hannity out of material!."



 

Another individual said, "@seanhannity literally no one takes you seriously anymore. Your schtick is old and moldy."
