Kamala Harris Accent: Peter Doocy questions White House on new Southern tone from VP

Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows during her Labor Day rally in Detroit, Michigan, unveiling what critics call a new "accent."

Harris spent her Monday holiday in the Motor City hoping to shore up blue-collar union workers in the critical battleground state that she wants to keep blue in the November election.

"You better thank a union member for the five-day work week," Harris told the crowd with a noticeable shift in her dialect. "You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time."
The Trump campaign drew attention to her "cringe" accent in another clip where Harris tells a rallygoer "Let's just get through the next 64 days, how about that!?" before letting out a laugh.
Other X users compared Harris' accent to the voice of iconic Looney Tunes character Foghorn Leghorn.

Critics also pointed out that Harris dropped the accent while making the same stump speech later that day in Pittsburgh.

"Same speech. Two entirely different accents," conservative commentator Greg Price said while sharing clips from each rally, adding "She's the fakest human being that has ever lived."
Harris has repeatedly been accused of altering her accent depending on the group of people she's speaking to.

In July, Harris was slammed for using a fake Southern accent while speaking at a rally in Atlanta. During her 2021 overseas trip to France, critics claimed Harris used a "French accent" while touring a COVID lab.

The conservative X account Johnny MAGA shared a clip knocking Harris' "Detroit speak," calling the VP "cringe and fake."

Peter: "Is that how she talks in meetings?"
Peter deserves a raise. That was pure gold. I laughed so hard, I cried.

[AFloridaSon]

If Peter didn't ask, nobody would.

Thank you Peter Doocy for being a thorn in their side.

[theraedge]

He should have said, YES... we care. It speaks to her authenticity, character, honesty, and credibility.

[mynameis]

She fails to realize that Americans are deeply concerned about the authenticity of our leader. AS WE SHOULD BE.

[johnhathaway]

Yes, as a matter of fact, it IS what Americans want to hear !!! Great job Peter, you are the BEST !!

[nanook]

Peter Doocy is the only one who has the courage to ask the question everyone is thinking. You go, Peter! 👍🏼

[calinola]

As a black American, I deeply care about her cosplaying with my identity to run for political office while she has no agenda for black Americans. Where on earth would this woman ever have gotten a southern accent?

We care about ALL THE LIES TOLD TO US THE LAST 4 YRS

[Jennifer-zooe]

Way to go Peter 👍 she will never answer honestly.

[rachelfrances]

When she has no answer, you have proven her wrong. Nicely done, Peter!

[joecapriotti]

Yes, Americans think about someone mocking African Americans with a fake, put on accent!
Good for bringing it up Peter.

[Whiteni]

When a major concern of the public is Kamala's authenticity and convictions, yes, it does matter.

[RFdaniel]

She started to interrupt him before he could even explain the question. She 100% knows exactly what he is talking about.

[gsau]

Rule number one: when presented with truth that may be damaging, avoid the subject and respond with gaslighting technique.

[ny_wonders]

yes we do. we care when someone lies and makes fun of us to our faces.

[davidharris]

It's important because she is insulting the black people. So answer the question. She should

[daustinhjr]

People care about being lied to and made a fool of in any capacity.

[RebeccaRasberry]

I applaud you Peter for asking what no one else will. Thank you.
