Vice President Kamala Harris faced criticism for allegedly using a 'fake' southern accent during a Labor Day speech in Detroit, with critics highlighting a noticeable change in her tone compared to a later speech in Pittsburgh. Fox News and social media users, including members of the Trump campaign, mocked Harris for what they perceived as an inauthentic and pandering speech style. Harris's press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, dismissed the questions about the accent as 'ridiculous' during a press briefing, refusing to entertain the topic. Despite the controversy, Harris emphasized the importance of unions and their contributions to workers' rights in her speeches.
