00:00Today, we are diving into the latest controversy surrounding US Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:14Known for her wit response and strong speeches, Harris has been thrust into the spotlight
00:21yet again.
00:22But this time, not for her policies or political strategies, but for something much more personal.
00:29Her accent.
00:30Let's break down what happened.
00:34On August 2nd, Kamala Harris visited Detroit, Michigan to rally support for blue-collar
00:39union workers, a critical voting bloc in the upcoming November elections.
00:45However, what caught everyone's attention during that rally was not just Harris' speech,
00:51but the way she delivered it.
00:59You better thank a union member for the five-day work week.
01:06You better thank a union member for sick leave.
01:09You better thank a union member for paid leave.
01:12You better thank a union member for vacation time.
01:23Because what we know is when union wages go up, everybody's wages go up.
01:33When union workplaces are safer, every workplace is safer.
01:41When unions are strong, America is strong.
01:46As the Vice President tried to connect with the audience, social media users quickly noticed
01:52something different.
01:53A Detroit accent that she had never used before.
01:58This isn't the first time Harris has been called out for using what some describe as
02:03a fake accent.
02:05In July, she was criticized for adopting a southern drool during a rally in Atlanta.
02:11And back in 2021, she was accused of using a French accent while touring a COVID-19 lab
02:18in France.
02:20Critics argue that these accents are a calculated attempt to resonate with different audiences.
02:26But they also suggest a lack of authenticity.
02:31Social media users commented,
02:32This is her seventh new accent in four weeks.
02:36She has literally never used this accent before.
02:40She grew up in Canada, right?
02:42As the daughter of immigrant parents, Kamala Harris brings a rich cultural background to
02:47her role as Vice President.
02:50Born in Auckland, California, Harris' mother was an Indian-born scientist and her father
02:56is Jamaican.
02:58Despite this diverse heritage, Harris spent her formative years in the Bay Area and has
03:04no apparent ties to the South or Detroit.
03:08As a woman of Indian and Jamaican descent, Harris' journey to the Vice Presidency has
03:13been historic but it also comes with unique challenges.
03:19Every move she makes is closely scrutinized and the accusations over fake accents have
03:25become another flashpoint in a long list of controversies.
03:29With the presidential race heating up in the United States, every action of the candidates
03:36is under a microscope.
