Donald Trump labeled Kamala Harris ‘a bum’ and joked about mispronouncing her name at a speech in Florida Friday night.
Trump is among many Republicans who have deliberately mispronounced Vice President Kamala Harris’s name, causing ire among some liberals.
The former president made fun of the idea at an event held in West Palm Beach for Turning Point.
He began discussing the vice president, who he declared ‘worse than Joe Biden and in a true sense much more liberal’ before noting he’d pronounced her name correctly.
‘And by the way, there are numerous ways of saying her name, they were explaining to me, you can say Kamala, you can say Kamala, I said, don’t worry about it. It doesn’t matter what I say. I couldn’t care less if I mispronounce it,’ Trump said.
Trump overall was scathing about Harris and seemingly in shock over liberals sudden turn in her favor, given her record.
DETAILS OF THE ATTACK
‘She was a bum 3 weeks ago, she was a bum. A failed VP, in a failed administration, with millions of people crossing and she was the Border Czar.’
He also criticized her for skipping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress and said she didn’t like Jewish people.
‘She refused to attend the speech. Because that’s her original thought, that’s where she comes from. She doesn’t like Jewish people, she doesn’t like Israel.’

KAMAL HARRIS JEWISH’S ROOT
Vice President Harris’ husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, is Jewish, while Harris held a one-on-one meeting with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu on Friday. Harris is also stepmother to Emhoff’s two children with his first wife, who are also Jewish.
Harris became the presumptive nominee for president earlier this week when Joe Biden announced he would no longer seek a second term.
KA-MA-LA OR KA-MAH-LA?
The correct pronunciation of Harris’ name has been a high profile discussion ever since she was named Joe Biden’s running mate in 2020.
Rather than the correct ‘KA’-ma-la,’ Trump sometimes says, ‘Ka-MAH-la.’
