Should We Be Focusing On Kamala’s Laugh?

Today, Neil Cavuto on FOX News had Senator John Kennedy on his show for about 9 minutes. It got quite contentious over whether or not Republicans should make a big deal over Harris’ laugh. You can watch the segment at this link unless FOX takes it down.

Kennedy was trying to tell Neil what the polling said about Kamala Harris. The details were found in the cross-tabs, not on the surface of the polls. Senator Kennedy had to reiterate what he said many times. Below is what he said with some very small deviation from time to time:

“Fair or not, the polls show that the American people think Kamal Harris is not a serious person, as I said, a bit of a ding dong. She is a member of the loon wing of the Democrat party.”

Neil could not let it go and in my opinion he was not listening. He had made up his mind that this was something Republicans should not be focused on. We probably agree but that is not what Senator Kennedy was pointing out. Kennedy was pointing to the opinion of the American people and caviated it with “fair or not“. By the way, if you have Senator Kennedy on your program you should understand his wit by now. He is funny and that is how he gets his point across.

As for focusing on Kamala’s laugh and word salad speeches, I agree we should not focus on it. However the inappropriate laughter is going to draw attention to the stereotype of a “ding dong.” If you are old enough you have seen dozens of sitcoms where there is a ding dong with an funny or inappropriate laugh.

The real question is what drives Kamala’s inappropriate laughter. We can only guess. However, here is a Gemini link to the question as I posed it and what Gemini says:

Inappropriate laughter, also known as pathological laughter, often has an underlying medical cause related to brain function. This can occur due to various reasons, including:

• Neurological conditions: Conditions like stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other brain disorders can disrupt the brain’s normal control of emotions, leading to inappropriate laughter or crying.
• Pseudobulbar affect (PBA): PBA is a neurological condition characterized by episodes of sudden, uncontrollable, and inappropriate laughing or crying. It’s often associated with the underlying neurological conditions mentioned above.
• Mental health conditions: Certain mental health disorders, such as mania, schizophrenia, and schizotypal personality disorder, can also cause inappropriate laughter.
• Medications: In some cases, certain medications or drug interactions may trigger inappropriate laughter as a side effect.

It’s important to note that inappropriate laughter can be distressing for the person experiencing it and those around them. If you or someone you know experiences inappropriate laughter, it’s crucial to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment. A healthcare professional can help identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate interventions, such as medication, therapy, or other supportive measures.

For more information,you can consult additional resources like medical websites or research articles on inappropriate laughter.

Many have speculated her laugh and word salads are related to a drinking or drug problem. That is certainly a possibility based on Gemini’s answer. It could also be tied to a more serious issue. Others think her laugh is simply a diversion when she is put on the spot or doesn’t want to answer. Her word salads are more likely tied to one of the other issues Gemini outlines.

Of course, President Trump is not immune from criticism about the things he says and the way he says them. Here is one article from VOX in 2017 that analyzes he speaking style. It is titled “Donald Trump’s unique speaking style, explained by linguists“. The bottom line is he is a salesman that does digress from the main point more than the average person. This is not a sign of mental illness and we all know he does not drink, smoke or approve of drugs.

In conclusion, yes, Republicans ought to stick to the policy differences which are so easy to outline and are in sharp contrast to the leftist vision.
