Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, has attracted the ire of netizens who have targeted her for an apparent faux accent that was noticeable during the Labor Day meet in Detroit, Michigan. The ire came up as Harris who is the presidential candidate for democrats was speaking with the audience and some viewers claimed that the way she was speaking was not genuine.
Narrating her life journey, Harris said “You may not be a thank a union….,you may not be a union member, but you better thank a union member for the five-day workweek.” Toward the end, Harris incorporated a noticeably different cliche into her language which turned out to be a point of contention with some users online.
On X, a user characterized Kamala Harris’ speech as “cringe and fake,” which presumably was a plastic southern accent that the users were against. This was proven wrong when a conservative X account of Johnny MAGA posted footage of Harris’s speech and mockingly stated that Detroit speak was not what needs to be called the Vice president who turned out to be cringe and fake.
Stephen Miller, an adviser to Trump endorsed, said that she was late adopting the divide of having some southern and that it was her “seventh new accent in four weeks” while many people have done with most of running-the-same-accent as her. “She has literally never used this accent before. She grew up in Canada. Phoniest politician in all of politics,” said Mr. Miller.
Gad Saad, a suave professor and podcaster, has addressed the issue of ‘fakery’ disdainfully by saying, “There are numerous characteristics which I find loathsome in human beings, and inauthenticity ranks among them perhaps the least.”
In support of that statement, GOP strategist Matt Whitlock went ahead to declare, “Except it’s all a performance. Politics follows Kamala Harris. One day she dressed in soft southern accent pretending to be moderate, next week it will be straight San Francisco liberal.”
Diverse voices were raised on X, one of them quipping, “New Kamala accent just dropped,” while another one ranted about her accent change from Detroit to Pittsburgh and called Harris “the most fake human being there ever was.”
Even with that flack directed to her, Harris persists to actively campaign in her efforts of courting blue collar union workers and other critical voter segments.
