Flashback: Schumer Silences Kamala For Goofing Off During Impeachment Presser [Watch]
*Originally published January 2020* Democrats love clowning around during press conferences. Below you’ll see Chuck Schumer telling failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris to be quiet. Below that, you’ll see Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib refuse to stop talking at a different presser. What it shows is a lack of respect.
From Fox News:
An awkward exchange between Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., became a viral sensation on Friday amid the ongoing Senate impeachment trial of President Trump.

Patty Murray, D-Wash., held a press conference on Friday as Democrats continued to pressure Senate Republicans to allow additional witnesses to give their testimony. But as a reporter began asking a question to the lawmakers, Harris was seen having a good chuckle with her Ohio colleague, prompting the minority leader to halt Harris’ laughter.

Remember: Democrats said that #impeachment was "sad" and "somber."
Did Senator Harris not get the memo? 🧐 https://t.co/GdK3vlooCC

While Tlaib and Omar were laughing it up and telling jokes with Rep. Primala Jayapal during a press conference where Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (TX) was talking about American troop casualties in Iraq, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez remained silent.
When compared to Omar, Tlaib, and Jayapal, AOC now looks like a pro-American Trump supporter – in this particular instance.
See for yourself…

Aaaaaannd tthe backtracking…
In her original responds to the man's question, Harris said: "Well said, well said"
Does she regret saying that?
HARRIS: "I would never condone anyone using that word in any way shape or form, even including the guy, against the guy I’m running against. Period. Period. Period"

Harris adds:
"I have worked my entire career to do a number of things including to ensure our disability community receives the dignity and the rights that they deserve. I just… rolled out a policy on that, I think I might be one of the only candidates that did."

"That is a reflection of just my long standing commitment to the dignity and the rights and accessibility and all of the associated points about the rights of our disability community," Harris says on her disability plan.

@KamalaHarris told me that “in the year 2019, people should know it’s hurtful.” She said she did not hear him use the term.
