Thank you Liza! It seems to me that the post was part of an ongoing attempt to sexualize and call to question the intelligence of a presidential candidate because of her gender (equating her with a beauty pageant contestant that is incapable of delivering a coherent answer - leaving aside the cruelty of bullying the other woman in the process). This portrayal falls flat on its face given how articulate Harris is and how well she handled the interview, but that will not matter to those that thrive on such narratives.
