Just waiting for the hard R to stop at this point. It's coming from that party at some point, I can feel.
I once read that the folks who filmed The Apprentice have all sorts of video material in their vault of outtakes and footage that was used/cut from that show over the years, where Trump would say all sorts of offensive things between cuts. I bet they have tape of him saying the "N" word with the hard R, among other things. But we will probably never see the footage, haha.
I noticed this during Kamala's rally in Atlanta, too. She had a bit more of an accent than usual. This is a very common thing called "code switching" and a lot of people do it when they are in different settings. It is especially common for black Americans when talking to each other vs a white/mixed audience. It is not a bad or phony thing; it is perfectly normal and part of fitting in with multiple groups with different expectations and norms. But some folks don't like it...
That's their problem. Perfectly normal. Even Southern whites do it when around other Southerners vs non-Southerners.

I do it regularly. I grew up with a large Hispanic family full of many cousins on my mom's side. I am close to half Hispanic myself. I work for a company where half the employees are in Latin America and code switch often depending on the audience. I'm not bilingual, sadly.
Trump continues to be big mad about Kamala's enthusiastic support, crowds, and the attention she's getting. He keeps workshopping insulting nicknames for her; Laffin' Kamala', Lyin' Kamala, now Crazy Kamala. He always calls women "crazy." None of these nicknames will stick, but at least "Crazy Kamala" alliterates.
Voted by whom? Trumpers? Here’s what scholars say:
This stuff is so cringey and embarrassing and nakedly racist, straight from Trump's mouth. I honestly don't see what the strategy is here. Is this going to win over moderate voters or something?

Just further energizes his racist base. Anyone, and I mean anyone that supports this guy supports racism. Period.

You be you Trump. The rest will take care of itself.
Virtual voting by the Democratic National Committee delegates across the country is underway to make Vice President Kamala Harris the official Democratic nominee for President of the United States. This is a defining moment in our nation’s history.
When Vice President Harris announced her campaign for President, she pledged to earn the nomination. She is in the process of achieving that milestone, and working to secure the broad support that is needed to lead the Democratic Party forward.
Over the next few months, she will be traveling across the country to unite our party, unite our nation, and defeat Donald Trump. But first, we want to gather every member of Team Harris to celebrate this special historic moment.

Meanwhile, the GOP and their media continue with all the "DEI" and other racist / sexist stuff. Here's a supercut.
