WATCH: Peter Doocy Makes KJP Melt Down With Hilarious Question About Kamala’s New Voice

In Tuesday’s White House press briefing, Fox News’ Peter Doocy once again sparked a tense exchange with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, this time over Vice President Kamala Harris’ sudden adoption of a “Southern accent” during a Labor Day rally in Detroit. Today, Doocy highlighted Harris’ shift in tone when addressing different audiences—a pattern that critics argue exposed Harris’s lack of authenticity.

When Harris spoke at the rally in Detroit, she appeared to adopt a distinctly different accent compared to her usual speaking style. The Vice President was in Michigan to rally support among blue-collar union workers, a crucial demographic for Democrats in the upcoming November election. However, it wasn’t long before social media lit up with comments about her peculiar choice of accent, with an exaggerated Southern drawl.

Adding fuel to the fire, Harris dropped the accent just hours later during a speech in Pittsburgh, where she delivered a similar message but with her more customary cadence. This sudden shift did not go unnoticed, and many pointed out the stark contrast in her delivery.

“You betta thank a union member for sick leave. You betta thank a union member for paid leave. You betta thank a union member for vacation time,” Harris said in Detroit with an accent.

However, just hours later giving the same speech, the accent was gone. “Thank unions for sick leave. Thank unions for paid family leave. Thank unions for paid family leave. Thank unions for your vacation time,” Harris said.

During the White House press briefing, Doocy zeroed in on this discrepancy, asking Jean-Pierre directly, “Since when does the Vice President have what sounds like a Southern accent?” Jean-Pierre, clearly caught off guard, initially claimed she had “no idea” what Doocy was referring to. But as Doocy pressed further, the press secretary became visibly frustrated, attempting to redirect the conversation to other topics like the economy and healthcare.

“Do you think Americans seriously think that this is an important question?” Jean-Pierre shot back, suggesting that the public is more concerned with substantive issues rather than Harris’ accent. But Doocy persisted, questioning whether Harris uses the same tone in private meetings at the White House, a query Jean-Pierre swiftly dismissed as “insane.”

The exchange has since become a talking point across various media platforms, with many questioning whether Harris’ accent change was a deliberate attempt to connect with the Detroit audience. Critics argue that Harris’ frequent shifts in tone and mannerisms depending on her audience are indicative of a broader issue—a lack of authenticity that has dogged her throughout her political career.

This is not the first accusation of the VP being a “phony.” Over the weekend, Harris came under fire for counterfeit ads that appeared across Philadelphia, falsely portraying her as the “Official Candidate Of The Philadelphia Eagles.” The ads featured Harris in an Eagles helmet with the team’s logo, leading to confusion and backlash. The Philadelphia Eagles quickly disavowed the ads, stating they were not associated with the team. A local man named Joe took action by covering the fake ads with the Eagles’ official statement, expressing his concern about the spread of misinformation. The Eagles and their advertising partners are working to remove the unauthorized ads from city bus shelters.
