Fox News host Tucker Carlson dedicated a segment of his top-rated show on the eve of the 2020 election to mocking the way Sen. Kamala Harris spoke during recent campaign stops in Florida and Georgia.
Carlson compared Harris, the vice presidential candidate born in California and raised in Quebec, Canada, to Hillary Clinton affecting a Southern accent on the campaign trail in the past.
“In Florida on Saturday, Kamala revealed a new lived experience. Turns out, she’s a proud, lifelong resident of the Deep South here in the United States,” Carlson said on Monday before playing one clip of Harris.
“It’s a good thing being a phony isn’t a crime, or she’d be doing 30 to life. But there’s no going back now. This is who Kamala Harris is now. She’s from the Deep South. At an event in North Carolina, she seemed like any other deep southerner. You really couldn’t tell the difference between her and anybody else from rural Alabama. See for yourself,” he said before another clip.
“If you just threw up in your mouth a little bit, don’t judge yourself. All of America just vomited simultaneously. Could you stand four years of that?” he concluded before inviting the Washington Examiner’s Eddie Scarry on his show to comment.
Earlier this year, Carlson took heat for the way he pronounced Harris’s first name.
