Kamala Harris is filmed LAUGHING at reporter before discussing Afghan crisis and insisting evacuation is 'highest priority' after poll called her unfit to be president

• Harris cut off a reporter with her nervous laugh and said 'Hold on, hold on,' before addressing the Afghanistan situation over the weekend
• She reiterated that the Biden-Harris administration was working on the crisis, despite failure to promptly communicate with Americans and world leaders
• The video was recorded as she prepared to fly to Singapore. She started her visits to Southeast Asia, where she will meet with officials
• Yet her tour comes at an intensely difficult time for the Biden administration, amid widespread condemnation of their handling of the fall of Kabul
• When likely voters were asked in a Rasmussen Reports poll if Harris is ready to be U.S. president, 47 per cent said she is 'not at all qualified'
• Harris arrived in Singapore on Sunday for the week-long trip to Asia, which also includes a stop in Vietnam, where she will meet with officials in the region
• She offered reassurances of Washington's commitment to the region and said America takes its role as a global leader 'seriously' amid Afghanistan chaos

Vice President Kamala Harris nervously laughed and dismissed a reporter's inquiry as she headed to Singapore amid Afghanistan chaos.

Harris initially claimed to have had a key role and that she was 'the last person in the room' when Biden chose to follow through with the May 1 deadline to retreat US troops from Afghanistan.

But her remarkable absence and lack of communication with the media and the American public have not escaped backlash, as 47% of likely voters found her 'not at all qualified' to become President, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll.

In a newly-unearthed part of a chat with reporters filmed as Harris prepared to depart for Singapore late Friday, the Vice President displays her infamous nervous laugh before flying to Singapore for an official visit, the Washington Examiner reported.

'What's your response to reports of Americans-' an eager reporter says over the jet engines noise.

'Hold on, hold on, hold on,' Harris said before the reporter could finish.

'Slow down, everybody,' she said after a big laugh.

'I want to talk about two things,' Harris then said. 'First, Afghanistan, we couldn't have a higher priority right now,'

'And in particular high priority is making sure that we safely evacuate American citizens, Afghans who worked with us, Afghans at risk, including women and children, and that is one of our highest if not the highest priority right now.'

'And it's a big area of focus for me in the past days and weeks, and will continue to be,' she added.

During a press conference in Singapore this morning Harris boasted that 'the US is a global leader'.

She insisted Washington could be depended as she stood alongside Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien. She said: 'The reason I am here is because the United States is a global leader and we take that role seriously'.

Her comments come as the US and President Biden have recieved global condemnation for the unfolding chaos and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. Hardline Islamists' swift return to power came after US troops' speedy withdrawal.

Kamala Harris nervously laughed and cut off a reporter, before saying that Afghanistan was a priority issue, before she boarded a flight to Singapore

Because the reporter was never allowed to finish her question, it's not clear what she was going to ask Harris specifically. However, it sounded like she was going to ask Harris about the Americans trapped in Afghanistan.

The video of Kamala laughing was shared hours after Joe Biden laughed when questioned by a reporter about his poor performance in a new poll during a White House press conference about the Afghan crisis and Tropical Storm Henri.

He said of the survey: 'I haven't seen that poll.'

And the Democrats were hit with a further optics issue Sunday, as Nancy Pelosi was filmed at a lavish Democrat fundraiser dinner in Napa, California, which cost up to...
