Yep....when it's directed at her the whining starts. Another quality I detest in any person unless it's a toddler or a teen where it's expected.

I'll ask you a similar task. Show me why it's directed at her, and links to her "laughing at another's misfortune". I know you guys want unfounded accusations to go unchallenged. Those days are over.

Watch the video in the link and listen for the '50 million dollars' reference near the beginning.

Neither I nor the poster you are quoting said she laughed. She intentionally instigated laughter from her audience and interviewer.

She herself is quite passive aggressive so she made sure she delivered the line without a laugh. Although, you can see the minor upturn of her lip as she suppressed the chit eating grin she wanted to display and how proud she was of herself for hitting her mark.

There is also no doubt in my mind that she prepared her remarks to invoke exactly the response she got which makes it even more despicable.

Not like it was just some lapse of decent manners, decorum, civility or cluelessness for which a normal person would have said,....."Whoa.....sorry that came out wrong and I wish Mr. Pelosi a speedy recovery" or some version of same.

Her comment was despicable as well as the crowds laughter.

This is what Republicans represent now? Sad and pathetic.
Thanks for trying to share what she was actually being criticized for. Not that any of the MAGAs here will believe it. What’s even more despicable is that when Lake was later asked about her mocking the Pelosi’s lack of security, she denied it. Instead she said the main stream media used “creative editing†to distort her comments in an attempt to make her look bad. An out right lie of course, but again, the MAGAs won’t acknowledge it.

You can google “CNN Anderson Cooper Kari Lake†and see for yourself. But you won’t ever see it for what it was…..mocking the Pelosis’ tragedy.

So refreshing to read a realistic and accurate portrayal of events here on CD.

She's not working on it -- she's blowing hot air on people who fall for the dog and pony show.

Right. And none of that is incorrect, wheras the response of some Kari supporters was incorrect, as they made replies that were irrelevant to what NGB specifically wrote. Either those Kari supporters lack reading comprehension skills, or they didn't pay close enough attention to the actual words (as opposed to perceived tone) NGB specifically wrote.
