Kamala Harris Criticized for Using 'Latina' Accent in Speech

Vice President Harris adopts a new accent at the Hispanic Caucus Institute event, sparking backlash and discussions on authenticity.

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with a 'Latina' accent during her address at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Leadership Conference.
Critics on social media and political opponents mocked Harris for changing her voice to match different audiences.
Harris has previously been noted for using various regional accents, including Southern and Midwestern, during her campaign speeches.
Psychologists suggest that Harris's accent changes may be an attempt to connect with diverse groups but warn it could be seen as inauthentic.
The White House has not directly addressed the criticisms, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissing related questions.
