They are calling it the âpastor accent.â
The new accent is now part of Vice President Kamala Harrisâ arsenal of accents that was unveiled Sunday morning at the Church of Christian Compassion in Philadelphia, per Fox News.
The new accent did not go unnoticed.
âBREAKING: Kamala Harris unveils a new accent at a black Philadelphia church,â End Wokeness posted on its X account, formerly known as Twitter.
Harris spoke to the predominantly Black congregants, telling saying in nine days, voters will âhave the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come.â
âHere in Pennsylvania, right now each of us has an opportunity to make a difference. Because in this moment we do face a real question. What kind of country do we want to live in?â Harris said. âThe great thing about living in a democracy is we the people have the choice to answer that question. So let us answer not just with our words, but with our works.â
Harris then cited the Book of Psalms, saying: âWeeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morninâ. The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the morninâ and church morning is on its way.â
This is when critics pointed out the new accent and compared it to the way Martin Luther King spoke.
This is not the first time people have noticed Harris speaking with a new accent.
Last month, her accent was compared to âFoghorn Leghornâ when she spoke at a Labor Day rally in Detroit.
âSince when does the vice president have what sounds like a Southern accent?â Fox Newsâ Peter Doocy queried White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre after she was compared to the âFoghorn Leghornâ cartoon character.
âI have no idea what youâre talking about,â Jean-Pierre said.
âWell, she was talking about unions in Detroit using one tone of voice, she used the same line in Pittsburgh, and it sounded like she at least had some kind of Southern drawl,â Doocy continued.
âI mean, do you hear the question that youâre â I mean, do you think Americans seriously think that this is an important question?â Jean-Pierre retorted. âYou know what they care about? They care about the economy, they care about lowering costs, they care about health care. Thatâs what they want to hear⌠democracy and freedom⌠Iâm not going to even entertain some question about⌠itâs just. Hearing it sounds so ridiculous. The question â Iâm talking about the question â is just insane.â
That did not stop people from posting about the new accent Sunday.
