The interactions between the leaders at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter brought us some priceless moments, from the look that Vice President Kamala Harris gave when she saw former President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump talking to the frosty exchange Kamala had with First Lady Jill Biden. 

One of the interesting exchanges was when Donald and Melania Trump were sitting down, and he shook hands with his former vice president, Mike Pence. It was their first public appearance together since they left office. Then there was Karen Pence, who did not stand up or shake their hands, and she got a lot of criticism on X for that. But she was eager to jump up and shake hands with Hillary Clinton and acknowledge her if you check that at about the 2:40 mark. 

LOTS OF MATERIAL SO FAR AT JIMMY CARTER’S FUNERAL:

– Trump shakes hands with Mike Pence.
– Obama does not shake Trump or Melania’s hand – but shakes everyone else’s hands.
– Bush walks right past the Trump’s, then slaps Obama in the stomach and shakes hands with everyone else.

Some remarked that her name was appropriate, that she was being a “Karen.” Others criticized her for not being “Christian” in church during a funeral.
