I enjoyed this from the Jewish site Kvelling about Kamala Harris and her Jewish in-laws. It was written when she started her presidential campaign but they re-upped it this week:
Apparently, Kamala Harris, Democratic presidential candidate and stepmother (or rather, step-mamaleh) to two Jewish children, has a hidden talent: She’s great — like, really great — at imitating her Jewish mother-in-law.
Seriously, it is both hilarious and uncanny!
First off, when author Cleo Wade asks Harris whether her Jewish in-laws still live in New Jersey, Harris replies, hilariously, “They are in California now, but New Jersey is very much in them.”
Then, Harris says, the first time she met Brooklyn native Barbara Emhoff, her future mother-in-law put her face in her hands and exclaimed, “Oh, look at you! You’re prettier than you are on television!”
And then, she calls for her husband: “Mike, look at her!”
Harris’s imitation is spot-on, as it comes complete with adorable gesticulations and a loud Brooklyn accent. We love it.
In a recent interview, the couple made roast chicken together (Kamala once told NowThis about her husband: “He is funny. He is kind. He is patient. He loves my cooking. He’s just a really great guy.”). After they’re done, they proudly lift their chicken up in the air and high five.
Love the high-five over the chicken…
Update:
Here’s another one. I like to cook Indian too so this is fun for me:
