Trump thinks mispronouncing Kamala Harris’ name is a good attack route.

        I guess I’ve also been saying it wrong, having read it much more than I’ve heard it. I honestly haven’t been paying much attention.

      But, unlike you, Trump has heard it many times. He knows how to pronounce it properly, he just won’t because he’s a racist.

      Her name is a nod to her Indian heritage on her mother’s side and in her 2019 memoir, Harris wrote that she pronounced it “Comma-la” and that it means “lotus flower.” […] Still, Trump continues to say “Kah-MAH-la.”

      I was sure this was going to be the other way around. Strange and less bad than I expected. It’s mostly just an accent thing, not a change in sounds.
