They are misdividing her name and placing the emphasis on the last syllable instead of the first. Instead of "COMMA la," they pronounce it as "ko MALA." They do it deliberately as their subtle way of demonstrating their disrespect and in an effort to cause more division than exists already.
More than disrespect, it's their way of "orhering" her, "as if she doesn't belong."
As for the other "seen and not heard" treatment, it's just below the "angry Black woman" trope and next to calling her "an uppity n-word." And I will not tolerate their assertions and disrespect. She WAYYYYY more qualified and emotionally sane than any of those malevolent self-absorbed misogynists trying to destroy our government.
Danke sch├╢n! IтАЩve never seen the two side by side and appreciate the comparison. It really is disturbing the amount of intentional disrespect theyтАЩve been outright displaying in all the ways, as opposed to simply saying what their values are and yeah, putting their mouths like that.
The intentional misprounciation of a name to show disrespect is nothing new to the Republicans. Almost EVERY Republican politician (as well as their cheerleaders like Fox Network etc.) have been calling their opposition "the Democrat Party," instead of the Democratic Party, for many decades.
Most Democrats don't call them out on it, so it's become "correct" in the minds of many Americans. If Republicans were told regularly to use the correct pronounciation, they would just laugh and continue mispronouncing it to "own the libs." The instinct to behave like a grade school bully no matter what your age has become a feature of most Republicans.
Rebecca, sometimes people say her name as Ka-MAH-la or CAM-a-la. 45 has used ka-MAH-bla a few times but mostly he doesnтАЩt refer to her by name. He often just says тАЬthey тАЬ or тАЬthemтАЭ.
Doesn't matter what they call her. She's way smarter than they are, and she's one of the most decent and empathetic H.sapiens on the planet. If things keep going well through the election, she will be remembered as a heroine of our times by people who will be alive 500 years from now.
So some are pronouncing her name Kah-mah-la. Trump disrespects her and calls her Kahm (Like kawm) bah-lah. The Kah may sound like тАЬcawтАЭ. I hope that helps, Rebecca.
I am Deaf, but I do understand pronouncing. Comma-la is Kamala Harris. Good good. WHAT are they saying it as, then? Thanks.

Yes тАУ itтАЩs a snide attempt to imply that Kamala Harris is not a тАЬrealтАЭ American.
What it really demonstrates is the intentional ignorance and narrow-mindedness of the mispronouncer.
