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.

Don't know much about fhe context here, so I won't defend this person if she's actually pretending. That said, I wore masks consistently, and completely understand their value, and would never complain about people wearing them, but...

Holy hell are people harder to understand when wearing them. I know it's a me problem, and I know why it's a problem, so I completely understand why somebody would say that.

Still not enough to justify not wearing one.

It's only a few minutes in - at the 2:15 mark approximately; it's the guy up there with her in the vest. Just look at his facial expression and body language - he's trying to score points for the AntiMa crowd. He's just being a douche.

Well that's pretty inexcusable then.

Get real close and laugh directly in their faces open mouthed. Ask if they wished we had covered our mouths if they complain.

or like.... don't be an asshole who gets in people's faces.
