Harris mocked for ‘fake’ southern accent during Georgia rally


Vice President Kamala Harris drew comparisons to Hillary Clinton for the accent


Vice President Kamala Harris caused a wave of criticism on social media after appearing to suddenly use a southern accent during a speech in Atlanta.

"You all helped us win in 2020 and we gonna do it again in 2024," Harris, who is from California, told Atlanta rally goers while seemingly debuting the new accent.

The accent immediately caught the attention of critics on social media, who accused the presumptive Democratic nominee of pandering to her audience.

"Kamala Harris went to speak in Atlanta and now has a southern accent," OutKick founder Clay Travis said on X, including a clip of the moment. "Why do people do this? It’s just so transparently fake.

"Do people do this with any other regional accents?" Travis questioned in a subsequent post. "I don’t think so. No one goes to Massachusetts and suddenly talks like a Kennedy. It’s only the South."

Travis’ post garnered several replies from critics of the vice president’s accent.

"It's what sociopaths do," one reply said.

"It’s called mirroring and it is a strong narcissistic tendency," another user said.

Travel size Listerine and Breath mints.
Years ago I had to respond to a bath house for a service call on O Street S.E. in Washington D.C.

Behind the plexiglass in the little booth there were four items I remember seeing on the shelves. Travel sized Listerine, Breath Mints, travel sized jars of petroleum jelly and condoms.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:barf:

What gets me is, the OP mentions - it's always Southern. No one tries to talk New York or Boston or Philly or Minnesota.

And Hillary at least LIVED in Arkansas for a few decades (she's from Chicago). Kamala has never lived in the South.

It’s really hard to do Minnesota.

Second only to Louisiana Bayou.

Generally seen as a lower form of communication from less intelligent people. Seriously, when you hear the commercials on TV with "My Cousin from Boston", don't they sound less intelligent?
