Vice President Kamala Harris faced online ridicule on Saturday night for adopting what appeared to be a new accent at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Phoenix Awards Dinner.
“Hello to all of my Divine Nine brothers and sisters,” Harris said at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C., according to a Fox News Digital report. “And to all my HBCU brothers and sisters.”
From Fox News:
The account End Wokeness shared the clip on X, writing: “BREAKING: Kamala Harris unveils a new accent at the Black Caucus Dinner.”
“New? Or is it her old fake black accent?” X user Paul A. Szypula, who has more than 232,700 followers, responded. “Either way, it’s incredibly insulting to black people. Shame on Kamala.”
“NEW: Kamala Harris brings out her new accent at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 2024 Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington D.C.,” Collin Rugg wrote to his 1.4 million followers, sharing the clip to X. “‘Hello to all my divine… brothas and sistas… am my soro…’ Kamala has brought out this new accent throughout the campaign at different times.”
“Kamala Harris accent du jor,” columnist James Hirsen wrote to his 270,500 followers on X.
Despite her upbringing in Canada, X users have noted that Harris adopts different American regional accents during her campaign speeches. Additionally, her reference to “Divine Nine” highlights her affiliation with a historically Black sorority from her time at Howard University.
