Kamala Harris set to swear in multiple senators who refuse to pronounce her name correctly

Raw Story  

One of Vice President Kamala Harris' final acts in office will be to swear in multiple Republican senators who refuse to pronounce her first name correctly, reported Time Magazine on Thursday. At campaign rallies, on social media, and in interviews, some spent months falsely claiming she wanted to ban Christmas from the calendar, bring dog meat to immigrants’ stoves, or rig the election by inviting undocumented immigrants to flood polling places and cast illegal ballots." In perhaps the greatest indignity, he continued, "Of the four Senators taking oaths on Friday who also spoke at the Republican convention in Milwaukee last year, three of them couldn’t be bothered to pronounce her name correctly when they took a moment to ridicule her." To some extent, Elliott wrote, "this is just the nature of the performative piece of doing the job" — and this may not be the end for Harris' career in any case, given she is mulling over a future rerun for the presidency or perhaps the governorship of California.
