        You honestly believe every person who reported her doing that said “Alexa, Laugh” 🙄 I don’t believe they’d be so shocked if they ordered it from her #hacked

        I'm pretty sure it's because Amazon refused to drop NRATV and now Dana Loesch has possessed Alexa.

        I don't know, I'd kinda like mine to have the eerie laugh. Especially when I'm up late at night, alone, watching scary movies. Gets the old blood pumping.

        It's laughing because Amazon fooled y'all into revealing your fears and secrets to complete strangers.
