The White House responded Tuesday to former Vice President Kamala Harris after she made vulgar remarks about members of President Donald Trump’s administration during a stop on her book tour in Los Angeles, referring to officials as “motherf**kers” and “crazy,” as reported by The New York Post.
Speaking Monday at the “A Day of Unreasonable Conversation” summit in Los Angeles, Harris claimed that the Trump administration is “trying to make people feel like they’ve lost their minds.” She added, “When in fact, these motherf**kers are crazy,” prompting loud cheers from the audience.

“There is so much about this moment that is trying to make people feel like they’ve lost their minds when, in fact, these mothafuckas are crazy.” 🔥

Following her comments, White House spokesperson Kush Desai fired back, referencing Harris’ well-known laugh that has been the subject of widespread criticism.

“Kamala Harris should listen to an audio recording of her cackle of a laugh before calling anyone crazy,” Desai said in a statement to TMZ when asked about her remarks.
Harris’ laughter has drawn ridicule for years, including during her failed 2024 presidential campaign. Critics often pointed to her distinctive laugh as a nervous response or a deflection tactic.

During the 2024 presidential debate, Harris laughed off accusations from President Trump that she was aligned with Marxist ideology.
Her husband, former second gentleman Doug Emhoff, even referenced her laugh during his remarks at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, telling attendees that it was one of the things that drew him to her.
“She called me back and we talked for an hour. We laughed — you know that laugh! I love that laugh,” Emhoff said.

Harris is currently promoting her memoir, 107 Days, which details her short-lived presidential campaign. The Los Angeles appearance was one of several West Coast stops on her tour.
Her recent comments mark the second time in as many days that she used vulgar language to describe political opponents. Speaking at an event in San Francisco on Sunday, Harris criticized what she described as conservative “scapegoating” of the American public.
“Part of this moment requires us to also debunk some of this stuff they’re trying to sell the American people: to scapegoat, instead of owning up to the responsibility that the powerful have to have some level of concern and care, if not just basic f**king curiosity for the well-being of other people,” Harris said.

The White House’s response adds to the growing tension between Harris and the Trump administration since her departure from office.
Her remarks have drawn swift criticism from political observers, with many noting the contrast between her public image and the coarse language she used in front of a friendly audience.
Harris’ office has not yet issued a response to the White House’s comments or to requests for additional clarification about her remarks in Los Angeles or San Francisco.
