‘Everything about this woman is fake’

Vice President Kamala Harris debuted a new accent while speaking at a Philadelphia church on Sunday, prompting brutal backlash from critics on social media who found her preacher’s tone “phony.”

Harris, 60, proclaimed the good news of her candidacy at the predominantly black Church of Christian Compassion, brushing up on her biblical rhetoric to emphasize how in just nine days, voters will “have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come.”

“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,” the vice president intoned. “What kind of country do we want to live in? 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.”

The Democratic nominee then took a page from the Psalms: “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.” 

The rhetorical flourish is one of many that she has added to her repertoire since winning her party’s nomination — including imitations of Jamaican, southern and even French accents.

Critics on social media pounced on clips of Harris quoting from the Bible, saying her new “pastor” accent fell short of the inspiring tenor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“Kamala the preacher, ladies and gentlemen,” one X user declared.

Fox News contributor Guy Benson added: “new panderaccent just dropped.”

“Harris is a monumental fake. A complete phony,” said Telegraph contributor Nile Gardiner.

“She would make a great Parrot,” the popular Crime in NYC account on X claimed.

“I’ve never encountered anyone who has found it so hard to be themself,” noted Spectator podcast host Will Kingston on X.

During a Labor Day campaign rally in Detroit, Harris’ dialect may have hindered her standing with a critical swing-state voting bloc after it was compared to the cartoon character “Foghorn Leghorn.”

In Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump is currently ahead of Harris by 0.5 percentage points, according to the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls.
