Since Kamala Harris was announced as Joe Biden’s pick for Vice President, the negative immediate media coverage of Harris has, as expected, been swift and vicious. She’s already been attacked by right-wing commenters, and called ‘nasty’ by the President. But another big, underlying trend has been far simpler: Harris’ first name has been regularly mispronounced, often intentionally by the likes of seasoned political commentators like Tucker Carlson. But Harris, who pronounces her first name “COMMA-luh” and not “kuh-MA-luh,” shouldn’t have to deal with this. She’s been in the political spotlight for years, including her own presidential run just a few
Britini, ask Mrs Palin about vicious attacks. They were much worse than mispronouncing her name...

Not that long ago I read that she told someone that it was pronounced “camel” (like the animal) with “lah”. One of the perils of having an out of the ordinary name is confusion about pronunciation. It’s up to her to clarify it once and for all. Of course after Nov. no one is going to care anyway.

Seriously.. I can’t figure out how to say her name..
So, if we criticize her policies- racism...
Criticize her actions.. racism
Everything is racism.. or an attack because she is a warm caring loving step mom.. #fts

Tucker covered CNN and Yahoo's angst over his pronunciation covered in detail this evening, with the hilarious finish showing Biden calling her Cameluh either yesterday or today.

This is The Narrative being defined, folks -- anything conservatives do or don't do, say or don't say, about La Grand Horizontale is racist.

So- can we ask her what her favorite legislative action she took is? Can we ask her what is path to better America?
If we disagree - is it racism?
You can see why Biden selected her- we can’t criticize her.. and she takes focus off his dementia..
I despise the liberal strategy...#fts

I heard Biden screw it up. Explanation please. Like it or not many black families spend too much time thinking up names that are not phonetically correct to spell or pronounce. And no matter how hard you try you know you will butcher it. It is not because you are racist it's because the name is simply impossible to figure out. Now Kamala isn't too difficult but it is a bit unusual. If this bothers the msm wait until they start exposing her record.

I hope this clown writes a piece on how Biden is a racist since he pronounced her name incorrectly many times during their dual appearance today.

This bogus controversy about the pronouncement of Harris’s first name is just a media created distraction from the real political policy issues that should be discussed. In fact Joseph Biden actually mispronounced Harris’s first name today at their first joint press conference.

Kam-ula, put on your big girl panties and grow up. I've had my simple 5 letter last name mispronounced for years. Big whoopin' deal.
Of course, for Kamuala, she's better at taking off her panties ....

Who in Hell gives a good 'DUMP' about how the LSM want's us to pronounce her damnd name?
A COMMIE/MARXIST by any other name is still a COMMIE/MARXIST.
And, "Since she SLEPT her way to the top", under Jerry Brown, I don't think she should be the VPOUS ready to replace Sleepy-Joe NLT mid next year.
A COMMIE/MARXIST 'HO' as POTUS? Over my "Cold Dead Hands"................

Her name is different. Neither I nor anyone I know has ever known or heard of someone named Kamala. How is any pronunciation more or less offensive?

My name irl gets mispronounced all the time, in fact far more often that correctly pronounced. I don't get my skivvies all in a bunch about it.
And truth is honey, there are far more nasty names we could call her and still be speaking nothing but the truth.

There was another Harris person named Kamala. Kamala the Ugandan Warrior. A popular wrestler from a while back. Writer Scott McKay thought he was far more worthy of respect that Kamala Harris. I posted McKay’s article. You can find it in Search. “RIP, Kamala”...

Maybe we can drop Kamala and just call her Horizontal Harris. Easier to pronounce.

OK, so we'll just call her Knee Pad Karen.
That solves that, and is much more honest ad accurate!!!

Camera, camcorder, camshaft, camel, Kamala. Or maybe her name is based on the Kama Sutra.

Since she says it’s pronounced “comma-la” I suggest that we just shorten it to “Commie”. Commie Harris - the name certainly fits.
