Vice President Kamala Harris sparked attention at a Labor Day event in Detroit, Michigan, where she revealed what some observers have described as a new “accent.”
Harris spent her holiday in Detroit, aiming to connect with blue-collar union workers in this pivotal swing state, crucial to maintaining a Democratic win in the upcoming November election.
“You better thank a union member for the five-day work week,” Harris emphasized to the audience, her speech marked by a noticeable change in her tone. “You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time.”
The conservative X account Johnny MAGA posted a video clip critiquing Harris’ “Detroit speak,” labeling the Vice President as “cringe and fake.”
“This is her seventh new accent in four weeks,” commented Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller. “She has literally never used this accent before. She grew up in Canada. Phoniest politician in all of politics.”
“There are countless traits that I despise in humans, few as much as inauthenticity,” remarked professor and podcast host Gad Saad.
“For Kamala Harris, all of politics is a performance,” GOP strategist Matt Whitlock added. “She changes fake accents like she changes policy positions and political personas. Today she’s talking in a fake southern accent, pretending to be a moderate. Next week she’ll be back to San Francisco liberal.”
The Trump campaign drew further attention to her “cringe” accent with another clip where Harris tells a rally attendee, “Let’s just get through the next 64 days, how about that!?” followed by a laugh.
“What did I just watch… what’s with this new accent?”, questioned Libs of TikTok. “The fakeness and cringe here is off the charts.”
Other X users likened Harris’ accent to the voice of the well-known Looney Tunes character Foghorn Leghorn.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for a comment, but they did not respond immediately.
Harris has often faced accusations of modifying her accent depending on her audience.
In July, she was criticized for adopting a fake Southern accent while speaking at a rally in Atlanta. Similarly, during her 2021 trip to France, critics alleged that Harris employed a “French accent” while visiting a COVID lab.

WOW
1 HARD WORK IS GOOD WORK.
DONT YOU SAY
“Kamala” has used CGI to fake her crowd. Now she/he (whoever is playing her role) is using CGI and voice modification to fake her accent.
Wow. A tremendous talent.
We lived in Metro Detroit for around ten years and never heard a native using anything like her attempted accent.
NYC and Boston accents are often poorly faked in media.
Sam Gompers and John L Lewis are rolling in their graves.
