'That hurt just to watch': Kamala Harris receives ‘painful welcome’

US Vice President Kamala Harris received a “painful welcome” this week, according to Sky News host Cory Bernardi.

“Ouch, you can clap? I heard the sound of one hand clapping there,” Mr Bernardi said.

“That hurt just to watch.”

A small glimpse of how the American people feel about her.

Any politician that gives a go-ahead that it's ok to clap is completely undeserving of any respect.

[ameliamohsin]

Not as painful as the American citizen has to face everyday.

[drummer]

When you have to tell someone to “clap” for you, you know your doing a horrible job…

[davidgillock]

Respect is earned. There is not one member of this administration who deserves any respect at all.

[sallyj]

If you walk out on stage, and hear silence, it has NOTHING to do with the audience thinking it's not okay. It has everything to do with the fact that no one likes you.

[Threedog]

Kamala: You can clap.
Crowd: We don't want to be here, but were told to by our bosses.

[godfellas]

She got more applause than she deserved...

[vagabondroller]

That was way more applause than she deserved.

[deepsleep]

What a narcissist! Nobody claps and not so subtly tells them to clap. And they didn’t! Excellent!

[chrisdickenson]

She gets all the respect she deserves. NONE

[Wally-xc]

Everyone will clap for her as she leaves the White House after this next election!

[recoveringsoul]

They're public servants, not celebrities. They don't need applause unless they've done something above and beyond what's expected

[seandelap]

Painful welcome is being very generous I'm sure they were all completely embarrassed by the site of her

[Ohplease]

I’ll clap when she’s gone from office!

[marymartin]

Told to clap, they still didn't....

[TS-whey]

She laughs and cackles at everything, even when people don't clap for her.

[avalerie]

The need for adoration and validation is strong in that one.

[charliehiatt]

And 80 something million people voted for that??? Yeah right

[dcwinebuff]

I've become numb to the pain of watching that incompetent woman communicate with the world and represent our country.
