Vice President Kamala Harris was accused Monday of using a “fake accent” in her remarks to teachers union members in Michigan.
Harris, speaking at a Detroit high school, appeared to alter her tone of voice in moments where she became particularly animated and when interacting with supporters in the crowd.
“You may not be a union member, but you better thank a union member for the five-day workweek. You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time,” Harris said at one point in her remarks that several social media users shared on X.
