Pronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris‘ name incorrectly is part of a rightwing “hate campaign,” according to MSNBC‘s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski.
Brzezinski alleges that “rightwing media” are intentionally mispronouncing Harris’ name to stir up hateful opposition against the potential Democrat nominee.
Yes, really.
“I’ve heard from inside Republican circles and rightwing media that the hate campaign against Kamala Harris has begun,” she claimed.
“You’ll notice they purposefully pronounce her name wrong,” she said.
“They say Kamala. They do it all the time. It is on purpose,” Brzezinski went on to claim.
“But the talk is to start that hate campaign and get it going and start it churning.”

The response on X was fire:
The host also offered a cringeworthy tribute to Joe Biden, describing the him as a “patriot” with “authenticity and touch.”
“Well, obviously, on many levels, I’m really sad. Joe Biden is a patriot. I love him, his family, and I love what he’s done for the country. He had authenticity and touch,” she said.
“Whether you saw it or not, everything about him, even sometimes the stutter and the bumbling was part of the touch, part of the empathic, very loving, very clear-eyed touch that he had, that allowed him and enabled him to be an effective president.”
“All that turned against him after the debate for all the reasons we discussed. He would say, no time to complain about it.
“Let’s move on. It is go time. Democrats really have a moment of momentum here, and my hope is that they grab it and run with it. Get unified.”
“Get organized. Get coordinated. No more infighting.
“Donald Trump is not easy to beat. He is not easy to beat, and anyone who thinks he is… is in 2016 when they’re laughing at the concept.”
“You can see how quickly they tried to steal the unity narrative,” she added.
