German chancellor candidate Laschet laughs during somber flood speech | DW News

It is not clear what exactly he found so funny. Earlier this week Laschet faced criticism for calling a journalist “young lady“ as she asked critical questions about his climate record. The flooding in Germany has brought climate change to the forefront of the upcoming election. Could Laschet’s laugh gaffe cost him the election?
