The fact that it's only brought up by certain news organizations and that seems to be main source of critique of her is suspicious. She gave a 50 minute Q&A on a live and death situation and the only take away is 2 second laugh to a poorly worded question? Just feels like a reach. That's it for me. If you simply think Kamala could work on her nervous laugh or whatever, cool. But if you're the type to to dismiss everything when it's white men who've been president or vice president, I smell racism and misogyny. I've noticed it's the same people who dismiss the Access Hollywood tape who have a huge problem with laughter.

For some reason they "need" to hire a conservative co-host. Why? I'll never know. Can't we have someone smart, INTERESTING, fun, plays well with others...even if non-political?

Make sure the height is right for sitting down and standing up ... especially for the heavy and 65-ish Whoopi and Joy, who's 79. Also, WHY have them walk out? They could be sitting comfortably...with a table for their notes (and modesty) when the show opens. A sofa wouldn't work as well as chairs. I still remember working for a small company and having to go to lunch alone every day. I went to the same nice/casual restaurant and sat at the bar. One day my heel (1960 stilettos) caught on that ring on the barstool as I was leaving--and I fell FLAT on my face and chest. I was 20, so I was humiliated, but not hurt. Also, too embarrassed to ever go back there. No high stools for older people, men or women.

Obviously people know you can be mixed race but idiots wanted to act as if she was being fake about her race. Why?
