Fox reports every single day on how how many days since her last press conference, but still hasn&#8217;t managed to spark any interest in that.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Fox is now upping the ante with a story that is burning with international intrigue. It all began Friday when Harris welcomed the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, to the White House. This is the headline that Fox News composed to report this meeting: <em>&#8220;Kamala Harris wipes hand after greeting South Korean leader.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, Fox News, demonstrating their commitment to reputable journalism, was intensely focused on the substance of this summit and how it affects the American people. They even included a video of the Harris <em>&#8220;gaffe&#8221;<\/em> that they plucked from Twitter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kamala Harris insults the South Korean President Moon Jae-in by wiping her hand off after shaking his hand. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/USA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#USA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SouthKorea?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SouthKorea<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Democrats?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Democrats<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/KamalaHarris?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#KamalaHarris<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MoonJaein?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MoonJaein<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DiplomaticIncident?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DiplomaticIncident<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ForeignAffairs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ForeignAffairs<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Insult?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Insult<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Wipe?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Wipe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BadManners?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BadManners<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/h8bysZKeql\">pic.twitter.com\/h8bysZKeql<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Julie Taylor (@juliejjtaylor) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/juliejjtaylor\/status\/1396248365529112581?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 22, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/kamala-harris-wipes-hand-after-greeting-south-korean-leader-faces-twitter-backlash\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a><\/strong> states that <em>&#8220;Harris was caught on camera Friday immediately wiping her right hand on her jacket after shaking hands with South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the White House.&#8221;<\/em> They assert that this is an unforgivably rude insult to President Moon. Never mind that Moon didn&#8217;t appear to even notice it. That may be because all Harris really did was briefly touch her jacket. But even if she had executed the alleged <em>&#8220;wipe,&#8221;<\/em> SO F**KING WHAT?<\/p>\n<p>People are allowed to engage in whatever harmless personal hygiene activities they want. Especially during a deadly global pandemic. What if Moon&#8217;s hand was sweaty? Would Fox prefer it if Harris walked around with a wet hand for the rest the day? What do you think Donald Trump would have done? He probably would have ordered some KFC because, you know, it&#8217;s finger lickin&#8217; good.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time that Fox News has tried to manufacture a scandal about Harris. They previously accused her of disrespecting the Marines stationed at the airport when she boarded Air Force Two by not returning a salute. However, the Vice-President is not in the chain of military command and has no obligation to do so.<\/p>\n<p>This is just another in a series of pathetic attempts to malign Harris, and by extension, President Biden and Democrats in general.
