Megyn Kelly scolds Kamala Harris on debate facial expressions: ‘Take it like a woman’

Megyn Kelly scolded Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Wednesday for various facial expressions she made during that evening’s vice presidential debate, arguing there are better ways to deal with a political opponent.

The former Fox News and NBC News journalist said on Twitter that Harris should take Vice President Pence’s criticism “like a woman” and not “make faces.”

Kelly was asked to clarify her remarks by A&E’s Elizabeth Vargas, formerly of ABC News, in a tweet.

“Take it like a woman?” Vargas tweeted.

Instead of “like a man,” Kelly replied. “We can be stoic too.”

Take it like a woman. Don’t make faces.

The critique from Kelly was part of mixed reactions to the Democratic vice presidential nominee’s expressions that ranged from glaring to smirking to smiling aimed during the lone 2020 vice presidential debate, held in Salt Lake City.

I truly couldn’t sympathize more with her having this problem but the smirking, eye rolls, angry laughing, general facial expressions, etc. need to be dialed down about 200 notches.

The next debate between President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden is scheduled for Oct. 15, but the event will be held virtually due to health and safety concerns after Trump tested positive for COVID-19 last week.
