South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace insisted on mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris’ first name multiple times during a CNN segment Thursday night, and was promptly—and repeatedly—called out for doing so.
In the latest instance of Republicans and conservative commentators not getting a simple, three-syllable name right—one which just so happens to belong to the first biracial female vice president—Mace declared that she would say the name “any way that I want to.”
“Talk about reruns, Kamala’s—Kamala’s,” Mace began, saying it correctly the first time but botching it right after by emphasizing the second syllable. Immediately, some of the other panelists on CNN Newsnight confronted her about it.
