Kamala Harris’s facial expressions during debate go viral

Twitter users on Wednesday had mixed reactions to Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s facial expressions aimed at Vice President Pence’s remarks during their debate. 

From the first moments the two candidates went head to head at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, some praised Harris as she glared, and at times smiled and shook her head, at the vice president. 

At one point, following Pence’s claims that both Harris and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden want to “raise taxes” and implement a “$2 trillion Green New Deal,” the California senator responded by slowly shaking her head, smirking and quietly saying “wow.” 

Harris later admonished Pence for interrupting her, turning to him and saying, “Mr. Vice President, I’m speaking. I’m speaking,” a line she would reiterate throughout the debate.

“Saturday Night Live” Comedian Chris Redd said that the California senator “has the best ‘I can’t believe this bullshit right HERE’ face I have ever seen.” 

Conservatives, however, did not have a positive view of Harris’s vivid reactions, with former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly tweeting, “Senator Harris is articulate but comes across as arrogant and the facial expressions are hurting her.” 

David Dudenhoefer, the GOP House candidate looking to replace Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D) for her Michigan seat, said that Harris was “unlikable with her smug facial expressions.”
