Kamala Harris Briefly Adopts a Southern Accent to Appeal to Black Voters
In the most ironic answer in a Democratic Presidential Debate filled with them came from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA). While answering a question about white Democratic candidates pandering to black voters the former California prosecutor adopted a brand new Southern accent for some unexplained reason.
In her answer the sinking candidate drawled that candidates have been taking for granted “the backbone of the Democratic Party … they show up when it’s, you know, close to election time and show up in a black church and want to get the vote.”
Please "folks", stop dropping your g's and adding "ya'll" to sound less liberal/East Coast/elitist. No one is buying it. https://t.co/kvfaBqpGC4

Harris joins a distinguished list of Democrats who have been shown changing their accent to speak to black voters. Hillary Clinton has been famous for this tactic throughout her political career and Alexandria “AOC” Ocasio-Cortez also recently pulled out this trick while specking beside Rev. Al Sharpton
Notice the fake “southern “ accent, read the body language for lies, @HillaryClinton spinning at her best. Never been called on any of her lies. Not then not now! No wonder she is delusional. #MediaBeDamned 👇👇👇 https://t.co/sPJhrykhzj

Kap's fake accents sounds like what AOC did when she adopted a faux accent while pandering to black voters.https://t.co/mCBdL0RdiP
