Donald Trump Jr. started, then ended a short Friday evening Twitter war with Democratic presidential candidate California Sen. Kamala Harris.
“Why is @KamalaHarris the only person that laughs at her jokes… always way to long and way too hard?” Trump Jr. tweeted, along with a video from January of Harris awkwardly laughing during an interaction with someone in the audience. “The most disingenuous person in politics… after Hillary.”

“You wouldn’t know a joke if one raised you,” Harris clapped back, referring to President Donald Trump.

Since a fairly strong start in a crowded Democratic field, Harris dropped precipitously in August polling, from the mid-teens to around 5 percent, and has yet to recover. Meanwhile, former Vice President Joe Biden recently lost his front-runner status to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.
