Kamala Harris gave a speech yesterday to HBCU reporters on the effects of Climate Change on ‘minority communities’. As she entered the room, her assistant asked that everybody stand for her arrival.

Her assistant then told the crowd of reporters, who were quiet, that they ‘can clap’ for VP Harris as she entered the room. See that clip below…
Kamala Harris enters the room to awkward silence, her audience is told “You can clap!” as she does her signature cringe cackle.

It is tough to watch. Why is Kamala Harris acting as if she is royalty?
Twitter users immediately made comparisons to a moment from Jeb Bush’s 2016 Presidential campaign. After a long-winded speech on American defense capabilities, Jeb urged the silent crowd to ‘please clap’ for him.
See that moment in the clip below…

Apparently it is commonplace for politicians to act in this arrogant manner. Would you applaud and stand for Kamala Harris if you were in this room?
Even after the crowd in the Harris clip is urged to clap for Harris, they don’t. They simply stand in silence, some even laughing at the request.
If our elected officials cannot garner respect in their own White House, what makes anybody think that they garner any respect amongst other world leaders?
For all that was said by the media about former President Donald Trump, we saw far less aggression and turmoil in the world during his Presidency.
That is because, while the media may not have respected him, the people certainly did. World leaders certainly did. Nobody, not world leaders, not the people, and certainly not the press pay a single ounce of respect to the Biden Administration.
Maybe it’s because they do not deserve it.
