The handful of Kamala Harrises who aren’t the Vice-President review the perks (wayward donors) and the perils (threatening phone calls) of their name, Dan Greene writes.
Some Presidents have plenty of name duplicates. There are more than a hundred George Bushes in New York alone; IMDb has listings for almost a hundred James, Jimmy, or Jim Carters. A few even achieve a prominence of their own. In the early sixties, the Washington Senators had a third baseman named John Kennedy, who also shared a birthday with the then President. The Virginia oncologist Donald L.
, pronounces her first name like “comma-la,” with emphasis on the first syllable: KAH-muh-luh. Trump and his partisans have continually deployed it as “Kuh-MAH-la.” Perhaps they just can’t shake the preferred pronunciations of Kamala Khan, a Marvel superheroine who débuted in 2013, and Kamala the Ugandan Giant, a late pro wrestler who occasionally took on Trump’s pal Hulk Hogan. More likely, it’s a disrespectful dig, with a subtext of othering.
