Kamala Harris visits black audience in Detroit, slaps on a brand new 'Foghorn Leghorn' accent By: Monica Showalter September 3, 2024 But while her words are the same, Harris does change one thing around now -- the regional accent she uses to deliver them in, according to how she thinks the audience speaks.
In Detroit, she spoke with this brand new accent..
Fox News called it her 'Foghorn Leghorn' accent, after the giant white rooster figure with the overbearing Southern accent in children's Saturday morning cartoons.
It echoes the strange accental shifts pioneered by Hillary Clinton, who similarly sported accent shape-shifting for different audiences. She was preceded in this practice by President Obama. But we have not seen this in other presidents, or presidential candidates prior to this, because, well, it's offensive to parody other people's accents.
Imagine the reaction if President Trump were to do it!

Have any of you - in your entire life - made up an accent while giving a talk in an attempt to “fit in” somehow?
It’s so far out of the realm of anything I think most anyone would consider doing it’s hard to believe a presidential candidate would do that. Just how pathetic are you that your identity is so malleable.
