Kamala Harris can’t seem to stop changing her accent.
The vice president is once again being roasted online for using a “fake accent” to assimilate with a predominantly black audience.
During a speech at a church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, social media users highlighted a point where they said Harris began speaking like a Southern Baptist minister and quoting from the Bible’s book of Psalms.
“Weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning. The path may seem difficult, the work may seem hard, but joy comes in the morning. And church morning is coming,” Harris said in a widely shared clip.
The VP has faced accusations of a ‘fake accent’ before, but with just days until the 2024 presidential election she cannot afford to lose any support, especially among black voters, who are a key group for her victory in November. 5.
Vice President Kamala Harris is once again facing accusations of using an accent to address the crowd she is speaking to – this time a “preacher” voice at a church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Sunday, October 27.

Although Harris is of Jamaican and Indian descent, she is still mocked for pulling off a “blaccent” because she changes her voice and speaking patterns depending on the race, class, and other demographics of her audience.
‘HOLY SMOKE. Kamala just pulled out a preacher, MLK-esque accent at a church in Philadelphia,” a pro-Trump account on X wrote.
“This is the craziest one yet,” they added. “She’s so incredibly fake.”
Not only do pro-Trump social media accounts say the accent is made up, but they also accuse Harris of being a “fake” person.
“Kamala just unveiled a new accent at a church in Philadelphia. Everything about this woman is fake,” TikTok’s Libs wrote on their X account.
Harris presented during her speech at the Church of Christian Compassion in Philadelphia that Americans have the opportunity to vote for “democracy” by electing her to the Oval Office.
“Here in Pennsylvania, each of us now has the opportunity to make a difference. Because we are faced with a real question right now. What kind of country do we want to live in?’ she said from the pulpit.
‘The beauty of living in a democracy is that we, the people, have the choice to answer that question. So let us respond not only with our words, but also with our works.”

Harris claps during a service at the Church of Christian Compassion in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, just nine days until the 2024 presidential election
Pennsylvania is one of seven swing states in the battleground and potentially the most consequential state whether Harris or Trump takes over the White House in 2025.
There are eight days left until the 2024 elections and the two candidates are using what little time they have left to present their closing arguments by storming the seven swing states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin .
But while Harris was in Pennsylvania on Sunday, Trump was in New York City for a rally at the famed Madison Square Garden, where he sold out the crowd and spoke to more than 20,000 supporters in the Big Apple.
Harris has been facing a barrage of hate for months from pro-Trump users who claim that accent code switching is insulting to black voters and a slap in the face to Americans.

In September, Harris faced accusations that he used an urban accent to relate to working-class voters in Detroit, Michigan.
“You may not be a union member, but you better thank a union member for the five-day work week,” Harris said in a tone atypical of the one she uses in her usual stump speeches.
She continued, “It’s better to thank a union member for the sick leave. Better to thank a union member for paid leave. Better thank a union member for the vacation time.”
At another point, an audience member shouted something about Harris’ future beyond just the 2024 election.
The VP, still sporting this new accent, responded with a big smile and laugh before leaning over the stage and saying, “Let’s just get through the next 64 days.”
“The new Kamala accent just disappeared,” one user wrote on X at the time.
