At a rally on Thursday in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Kamala Harris proved once again why she’s not a presidential candidate to be trifled with.
Around 20 minutes into her event, Harris was interrupted by a group of hecklers. As they were escorted out by security, she let them know why they might have been confused.
“Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,” she said, causing the crowd to erupt with applause. “No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”
Harris’ clapback, a dig at her opponent’s Donald Trump’s underperforming rallies (which have infamously drawn smaller crowds than people eating cheese balls in public), instantly went viral. Even those who aren’t fans of Harris as a politician had to admit she’s quick on the mic.

It all goes to show that beyond politics, Harris has got two things Trump never will: charisma and sharp wit.
