Kamala Harris wipes hand after greeting South Korean leader, faces Twitter backlash
Some social media users claimed a Republican leader would have faced much harsher criticism for the faux pas
By Dom Calicchio | Fox News

Many Americans have become more germ-conscious since the start of the coronavirus pandemic last year – but Vice President Kamala Harris may have made her apparent concerns too conspicuous.

Harris was caught on camera Friday immediately wiping her right hand on her jacket after shaking hands with South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the White House.

Blacks and Asians don't always get along in America, Kamala is just reminding the Koreans of the frictions that exist, racially. Obama insulted the Brits that were our allies too. Democrats don't mind being racists, they just can't stand being called racists!

It's not like Kamel's butt is actually (b)lack. Her ancestry includes asian people. Who are all thoroughly ashamed that she exists.

And why assume the broad is a germophobe? You should never attribute possible innocent explanations to Rodents who default to malice. The malice is the more likely cause. Much more likely. Just look at the face on that female when she does it.

kamala sutra harris -- not only is she a bang-up vice president, but a diplomat extraordinaire to boot!

A double insult. The "President" is too busy to greet the PM and the "Vice President" recoils at his touch.

Asian heritage? Her mother is from India and her father is from Jamaica.

COVID germs perhaps may have been her motive but the dingbat obviously wasn't discreet. She does not exude any elegance nor any self confidence.

The Korean president might have wanted to sanitize his hand, considering her sordid history.

Last I checked the Indian subcontinent is a part of Asia, just not "East Asia". For that matter Arabs and Persians are "West Asians". (It's a big place, even if when someone mentions "Asian" we generally think of Japanese, Chinese, of Korean.)

Old habits die hard. Just an old "Willie" reflex.

Yeah, we all know India was part of North America discovered by Christopher Columbus.

Besides, the smirking racist broad was vaccinated for the China Virus, wasn't she?

No.

Not too much at all to expect the bleep standing in line waiting for the twenty-first of January, 2023 to arrive so she can replace that senile moron and stage the Second Coup to have enough sense to know how to behave in a diplomatic photo-op for an international audience.

The people of South Korea saw this for what it obviously was, some racist broad treating their president, and by extension their country, with disdain and disgust.

And Kamel's Butt is from the Party of the Vapors, who swooned at every "mean tweet" the Real President ever made.

Wiping one's hand after shaking another person's hand is considered a great insult in Asia. The real question is how it is being received over there.

Geez. In terms of diplomatic protocol, that's a pretty substantial snub.

Turning her back to him after the greeting was worse than the wipe.

Just a guess, but I expect something along the lines of "stupid round-eye!"

This was not the PM but the actual President of that country. A big difference on hierachy.

The President is head of the country while the PM is the head of government and is selected by the President who he serves.

I had no idea. I wonder if anyone bothered to tell kamal that.
