Republican Sen. David Perdue mocked Sen. Kamala Harris on Friday, derisively mispronouncing the Democratic vice presidential candidate's name during a campaign rally in Georgia.
“Kamala? Kamala? Kamala-mala-mala? I don’t know. Whatever,” Perdue said at a rally in Macon, just before President Donald Trump was set to take the stage.Mispronouncing Harris' first name has become a common attack within the Trump camp. The president routinely does so in a mocking way during his political rallies, even though he has correctly said it in less rowdy settings.
Perdue and Harris have served together in the Senate since 2017. Harris, who is the daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica, is the first woman of color nominated to a major political party ticket. Perdue is currently facing a competitive race against Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff, who tweeted a"Senator Perdue never would have done this to a male colleague. Or a white colleague," Ossoff wrote. "And everyone knows it."
