Harris mocked for unveiling 'new accent' at Philadelphia event: 'Everything about this woman is fake'

Vice President Kamala Harris was dragged on X by critics who say she debuted a "new accent" they compared to a "pastor" while speaking to congregants of a church in Philadelphia.


Harris mocked for unveiling 'new accent' at Philadelphia event: 'Everything about this woman is fake'

"BREAKING: Kamala Harris unveils a new accent at a black Philadelphia church," popular conservative X account "End Wokeness" posted Sunday accompanied by video of Harris at the event. 

"Here in Pennsylvania, right now each of us has an opportunity to make a difference. Because in this moment we do face a real question. What kind of country do we want to live in?" she said. "The great thing about living in a democracy is we the people have the choice to answer that question. So let us answer not just with our words, but with our works."

Harris cited the Book of Psalms in her remarks, including saying: "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the mornin'. The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the mornin' and church morning is on its way." 

Harris has previously been accused by critics of unveiling new "accents" while on the campaign trail, including one last month when she spoke before the Congressional Black Caucus, and another "accent" that was compared to "Foghorn Leghorn" during a Labor Day rally in Detroit when she spoke to blue-collar union workers. 

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Jean-Pierre replied. 

"Well, she was talking about unions in Detroit using one tone of voice, she used the same line in Pittsburgh, and it sounded like she at least had some kind of Southern drawl," Doocy pressed.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign regarding the Philadelphia speech and critics who lambasted the VP for unveiling the "new accent," but did not immediately receive a reply on Sunday afternoon. 

Harris will hold a campaign rally in Philadelphia later Sunday, while Trump will join a rally in New York City's Madison Square Garden Sunday evening.
