It is a simple name to say Kamala. Like comma-la. But what would be Trump's reason for constantly mispronouncing her name? Dont come at me with that is how SHE used to pronounce it, that isnt true. What you got now? He mispronounced her name 7 out of 12 times, several times with inflection last night. Why?


Trump and other prominent Republicans are the most public offenders, with Harris’s supporters accusing them of intentionally bungling the pronunciation or using it as a racist dog whistle about the first Black woman and the first Asian American woman named to a major party’s ticket.

At the Republican National Convention last week, nearly half of the speakers who uttered Harris’s first name blew it. Bob Unanue, the chief executive of Goya Foods, mockingly uttered “Qué mala,” which means “so bad” in Spanish. Among the speakers who offered a correct pronunciation: former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and Usha Vance, the wife of Trump running mate JD Vance — both of whom are Indian American.

Harris’s campaign has placed a special emphasis on her first name — which in Sanskrit means “lotus,” an important symbol in Indian culture — by relabeling “BidenHarrisHQ” social media channels to “KamalaHQ” and handing out white-and-navy-blue signs that declare “KAMALA” in a bold sans serif type on one side and “USA” on the other.

“He’s going to continue his strategy of name calling and dehumanization to attempt to rally his base, and this is just another way he’s actually message testing,” she said. “Mispronouncing a name is a common tactic used by people who try to do what we call ‘other,’ to other someone.”

You forgot "All of the above".
 
This is a very surprising result. I was sure there would be empathy for common decency and unity after Trump's near miss with glass shrapnel.
 
This is what I call her, Camel Harris. She spits and smells like one. She is the worst possible President that has ever lived. She will be the 666 that will usher in Armageddon. Billions of people will die. Can you have that on your conscience when you stand at the Judgement Bar of Christ?
Possibly, if they serve drinks at that bar.
 
I pronounce it Coupmala, poor Joe.

I almost feel sorry for Joe. First he was senator for like a million years. No one never heard of him.

He ran for POTUS TWICE. Got 1% of the vote. Got picked as VP by Obumma and folks said: "Who Dat Guy?"

Then they steal an election to get him in and he picks a know-nothing, do-nothing cum-dripping useless nobody as his VP who was first to drop out of the race.

Still Joe got no respect. He was Brandon, FJB, Dark Brandon, and Who Just Fell Over?

Now before he can even finish his term, she kicks him to the can.

Less than a week and Joe is forgotten.
