Trying to get her to take a few questions after events is treated as an act of impish aggression. And Harris herself tracks political players and reporters whom she thinks don\u2019t fully understand her or appreciate her life experience. (She often mentions an episode in which\u00a0a Washington Post reporter mistook the cheer of the historic Black sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha for \u2018screeches,\u2019 I was told.),\u201d the outlet indicated. \u201cShe particularly doesn\u2019t like\u00a0the word\u00a0<em>cautious<\/em>, and aides look out for synonyms too.\u00a0<em>Careful<\/em>,\u00a0<em>guarded<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>hesitant<\/em> don\u2019t go over well. But she continues to retreat behind talking points and platitudes in public, and declines many interview requests and opportunities to speak for herself (including for this article).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to The Atlantic, television producers have had to weigh the pros and cons of sending a reporter to meet with the vice president \u201cgive how little usable material they get out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not surprising Harris and her team keep tabs on what journalists are reporting and how the vice president is covered. Any time the vice president is asked a question that makes her uncomfortable or she talks about a subject she\u2019s not well-versed on, she cackles awkwardly.<\/p>\n<p>We all witnessed it in January when she swore in three new Democratic senators, including her replacement, Alex Padilla.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was very weird,\u201d she laughed after reading her name.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.5173611111111\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: &#8216;That was very weird&#8217; \u2013 Swearing in three new Democratic senators, Vice President Kamala Harris laughs after referring to herself in the third person as the resigned senator from California <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a73wjd0xAe\">https:\/\/t.co\/a73wjd0xAe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dzYmOz92b8\">pic.twitter.com\/dzYmOz92b8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Reuters\/status\/1353170658155442176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Harris cackled when asked if she would be visiting the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUm, not today,\u201d Harris laughed. \u201cBut, um, I have before and I\u2019m sure I will again.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.9831932773109\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Apparently, the border crisis is now a laughing matter for the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH: VP Kamala Harris laughs when asked if she has any plans to visit the border. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z3AdoFX0Dq\">pic.twitter.com\/z3AdoFX0Dq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveGuest\/status\/1374083973543034885?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She did it in March when talking about parents struggling to find daycare because schools are closed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.1725888324873\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kamala Harris laughs hysterically when discussing struggling parents who aren\u2019t able to send their kids to school. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/h4O4Ujkc4T\">pic.twitter.com\/h4O4Ujkc4T<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mythinformed MKE (@MythinformedMKE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MythinformedMKE\/status\/1376633357283561473?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 29, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a defense mechanism the vice president relies on when she is uncomfortable and doesn\u2019t know what to say.\u00a0<em>Of course, <\/em>she\u2019s going to limit what reporters can and will ask her questions. It means she knows the type of questions \u2013 if any \u2013 the reporter will ask.

It is a way of keeping Harris out of awkward predicaments that can be used against her down the road, especially when she laughs at situations that deserve a sober response.<\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
