Vice President Kamala Harris was slammed by critics after she appeared to pander to voters with a fake Southern accent at a rally in Atlanta.
It’s unclear how this happened, but Harris spoke in a distinctly nasal voice as she announced to the crowd: “You all helped us win in 2020, and we’re going to do it again in 2024!”
The crowd certainly loved it at this star-studded event and clearly didn’t care about the obvious pandering.
The Harris campaign also tried to woo black voters in Atlanta by having Megan Thee Stallion twerk.
Critics were quick to mock Harris’ newfound accent, comparing the way she spoke to crowds in Atlanta to the way she conversed with drag queens in Los Angeles.
Kamala Harris, born in California to Jamaican and Indian college professors, was in Los Angeles a week ago talking to drag queens and tonight in Atlanta talking to black people.

Kamala Harris develops Southern accent
Watching Kamala Harris adopt a Southern accent — or what Daily Telegraph host Matt Walsh described as a “sudden urban accent” — only fuels doubts about the Democratic Party’s authenticity .
Those doubts suddenly resurfaced last week when she released an elaborate video in which she pretended to have a heartfelt phone call with Michelle and Barack Obama.
It comes up again and again. Whether she uses a French accent to talk to French officials, uses child actors to pretend to be excited about her discussion of space, or she plagiarizes Martin Luther King in her “Freedom” story.
Does anyone remember the pandering she delivered when she claimed that she and her family had religiously celebrated Kwanzaa “for generations”?
Kwanzaa was created in 1966. Harris was born in 1964.
Is there anything real about her?

Democrats pander, that’s what they do
Kamala Harris is certainly not the first Democratic presidential candidate to pander exclusively to a specific group in order to win votes.
Hillary Clinton, the queen of fake Southern accents, gave her famous “I’m not tired at all” speech to a mostly black crowd in Selma in 2007.

President Biden used the phrase “never get tired” in a 2020 ad targeting Black voters.
Harris desperately needs to do something to appeal to black voters, with whom she is working to boost support over Biden.
Is it possible to fake a Southern accent?
