Chaya Raichik left sputtering when asked what “wokeness” is as the audience bursts out laughing

Hate influencer Chaya Raichik – who goes by “Libs of TikTok” online – is trying to take her show on the road, and it doesn’t appear to be going well.

Raichik gave a speech yesterday at the Indiana Memorial Union at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, alongside Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN).

During her speech, she ranted about “pornographic” books in schools and moved on to her hatred of everything “woke.”

Some students started laughing.

“Um, do you have a question? Is something funny?” she asked, apparently not expecting people to find her over-the-top concerns funny.

“How do you define wokeness?” someone in the back asked. 

Raichik tried to respond: “Wokeness is the destruction of normalicy [sic] and… And… Um… Uh…” More students started laughing. 

“… of our lives,” she said, apparently thinking she was finishing a sentence.

Props to the guy who asks if Al Qaeda is woke. These two have to be some of the dumbest people alive.

Where is the wokeness part? I couldn't find it just scrobbling through.

I tried to scrub through too but had to stop because they are both just so awful
edit: it's about 48 seconds in

Thank you. I wasn't about to listen to her for 40 whole minutes.
