Shyamala Gopalan, KH's mom, left Chenai for the US. Chenai is the capital of Tamil Nadu which is the southernmost state in India. Somehow I don't think that is what PD had in mind. (Yes that assumes a mind, quite possibly an unwarranted assumption,)
Wow, just wow! What a freaking joke of a reporter, seriously, what a pathetic joke this guy is. How, for heaven sake’s, is he part of the WH press corps?!?! Smfhh
"“HARRIS SLAMMED FOR ‘FAKE ACCENT’ IN DETROIT SPEECH,” Fox Business blasted in a chyron.
“Kamala Harris rallies across the country repeating same speech in different accents,” read one Fox News headline.
“Kamala was raised by an Indian mother in Canada, but now she sounds like Fani Willis,” Fox News’ Jesse Watters said on Tuesday night, referring to the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, who is a Black woman."
"I only accept questions on socio-linguistics in written form and including the research phrase written in Standard English and International Phonetic Alphabetic script -- you know so we can make valid comparisons. Or, you can PFO. Next question?"
White people do this, too. Especially if they’re first-gen college grads who are trying hard to make it in College Graduateland but just want to be family with the fam.
Yeah … while doing that whole ancestry thing several years ago I discovered that my third-great-grandmother was a Bush. But she was born in Michigan, so I figured it was just a coincidence. Then as I went back generations they were from Connecticut and then Maine. After that I consoled myself with the thought that we are ALL related anyway and as long as we didn’t hang out it was fine.
"Shut the fuck up, Doocy. Moving on."
Peter is the biggest nepo-baby disgrace to journalism since Luke Russert.
who? and also, who?
Ta, Evan. If it weren't for bad faith, they wouldn't have no faith at all. Anyway, Doocy is too fucking dumb to be aware of mirroring in language.

Why the hell would VP Harris fake a southern accent in Pittsburgh?
She wouldn't
If you're a mayo-American unfamiliar with the concept of code-switching, just please look it up
So she finally said, Just shut up.
See this podium, FUCK You.
Next question please...
I would have forgiven KJP if she slipped into a "Madea-don't-play-that-shit and is-done-with-your-ass" accent while taking Doocy down.
I have leveled my accent over the years.
But, I must say when I get frustrated or angry ALL my Louisiana accent shows up.

Wasn’t W raised in New England!
Yes. He adopted a Texas twang for electoral purposes. His brother Jeb! did the same with a Southern drawl to appeal to the Redneck Riviera.
