Megyn Kelly Lectures Kamala Harris on Debate Behavior: 'Take It Like a Woman'
Making faces does not make the grade in Megyn Kelly’s book, an outlook she was happy to share as she evaluated Wednesday night’s debate performance of Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris of California.
Kelly’s irritation with Harris grew over the course of her debate with Vice President Mike Pence.
“Pence projects ‘gentleman.’ Tough to dislike. So far Kamala looks professional, calm. Should stop the head shaking,” Kelly tweeted live after the opening rounds of comments were made.

“Don’t smirk. Don’t shake your head. Don’t smile mockingly. Wait,” Kelly tweeted amid a series of Harris’s facial contortions that took place while Pence was speaking.

“Take it like a woman. Don’t make faces,” Kelly wrote at one point during the debate, later explaining to A&E anchor Elizabeth Vargas, “[i]nstead of ‘like a man.’ We can be stoic too.”

Kelly found other Harris mannerisms too aggravating to remain silent about.
“Omg the head shake,” she tweeted.

Harris’ tactic of trying to stop Pence from making points while she wanted to own the stage also earned a thumbs-down from Kelly as the night wore on.
“The ‘I’m speaking, *I’m* speaking’ thing worked at first. Now it’s getting old,” Kelly tweeted.

Many Twitter users agreed that Harris’ smirking was a negative, with some finding room to trash Kelly as well. Kelly, however, wanted the last word.
GURRRL, you need to do something about that condescending smirk of yours! It is downright annoying. The more you are intimidated, the bigger you smirk! Your body language is VERY TELLING! You are NOT VP material! Just sayin.

The fact @KamalaHarris can smile and smirk about the fact she refuses to answer the question about packing the court is despicable!

And that smug smirk is annoying. Easy to tell she was given a heads up on questions

Megyn Kelly was also okay with twirling for Roger Ailes but not okay with black women expressing themselves in public. https://t.co/X2iCmz8Mhv

How dare you compare my tweet, suggesting Kamala woman-up (meaning be her strongest, composed self) make less faces while Pence is speaking to a man who sexually abused, harassed & hurt so many women?
Ppl have lost their minds. I address on my podcast dropping later today. https://t.co/QYTQMetxqZ— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) October 8, 2020
Wednesday’s debate was the only scheduled face-off between the two vice-presidential candidates.

President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden are scheduled to debate on Oct. 15, but plans for the event were rocked Wednesday when Trump denounced a decision by the commission that sponsors the debate to make the event virtual.
