Kamala Harris Compared to Foghorn Leghorn After Taking Her Fake Accent Too Far
It was enough to make Mel Blanc blush.
Vice President Kamala Harris, whose “transparently fake” speaking styles have drawn public attention before, is back in the social media spotlight after a Labor Day speech in Detroit on Monday that featured a bellicose Southern drawl unusual in a figure who was born in Oakland, California, and spent much of her teen years in Montreal, Canada.
And comparisons to a classic cartoon character were inevitable.
“Kamala Harris turned into Foghorn Leghorn,” one conservative social media user commenter wrote in post on X.
Foghorn Leghorn is the loudmouthed but likeable rooster from the “Looney Tunes” franchise originally voiced by the master of cartoon comedy Mel Blanc.
He’s boastful but funny, given to over-the-top rhetoric and hyperbolic similes that play perfectly in an animated universe where the only thing that matters is a few brief moments of entertainment.
Harris is boastful, of course, but she isn’t funny — at least not in any kind of way that’s good for the American people. And she’s running for the presidency of the United States, which matters a good deal more than a few laughs at a Warner Bros. cartoon.
And her latest attempt to appeal to voters with transparently fake “authenticity” was a lightning rod for bad reviews.
