Har­ris tries a new ‘Lati­na’ accent amid crit­i­cisms

Vice Pres­i­dent Kamala Har­ris, who grew up in Cal­i­for­nia and Que­bec, has been mocked for her var­i­ous adap­ta­tions of region­al accents while on the pres­i­den­tial cam­paign trail.
On Wednes­day, social media users claimed that Har­ris revealed a new “Lati­na” accent for the first time while speak­ing to the Con­gres­sion­al His­pan­ic Cau­cus Insti­tute Lead­er­ship Con­fer­ence.
“Oh it’s good to see so many friends,” Har­ris said as she looked at the Wash­ing­ton, D.C., crowd.
An audi­ence mem­ber yelled out that they loved her.
“I love you back!” Har­ris respond­ed with a vocal change that revealed a slight accent.
