Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows after appearing to shift her accent once again during an address to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Saturday night.
Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows after appearing to shift her accent once again during an address to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Saturday night.
Harris, 59, seemingly briefly altered the tone of voice at the start of her remarks to the glitzy Washington, DC gala, where President Biden, 81, was honored with a lifetime achievement award.
“Hello to all my divine nine brothers and sisters… ” Harris said with a laugh — a reference the the major fraternities and sororities at historically black colleges and universities.
(Harris is herself an alumna, having been a sister at Alpha Kappa Alpha at Howard University.)
She then reverted back to her traditional manner of speaking for most of the duration of the speech at the Phoenix Awards dinner — with a few exceptions during moments when she grew animated.
