Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire for laughing when asked about the deadly chaos in Afghanistan - before Singapore's prime minister pointed out during a press conference with Harris that the Biden administration's exit plan went "Awry."
"Hold on, hold on - slow down, everybody!" Harris said, before letting out her now-notorious laugh, shaking her shoulders as she chuckled.
The VP finally controlled herself to insist that the Biden administration "Couldn't have a higher priority right now" than Afghanistan.
Harris, who has previously been criticized for similar reactions at seemingly inappropriate moments, spoke as she was heading overseas - but not to Afghanistan.
"Kamala Harris says that the administration couldn't have a higher priority than Afghanistan Is that why she's in Vietnam on a foreign trip and Joe Biden has been on vacation half the time?" another person tweeted.
At a joint press conference with Harris in Singapore, the island country's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday noted the US' botched departure from Afghanistan, as thousands of people remain at Kabul airport seeking evacuation and more thousands of Americans are stranded across the Taliban controlled country.
Harris repeatedly declined to say what she felt should have been done differently in the withdrawal.
