Karine Jean-Pierre dodges question about Kamala’s fake accent: ‘I have no idea what you’re talking about’

Fox News' Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre in a White House briefing, "Since when does the vice president have what sounds like a southern accent?"

The press secretary dismissed the question after clips of Harris clearly having separate accents in her Detroit, Michigan and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania rallies went viral on Monday. Some accused Harris of putting on the accent to appeal to voters in different locations.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Jean Pierre told Doocy. He followed up, saying that Harris was "talking about unions in Detroit using one tone of voice ... then she used the same line in Pittsburgh, and it sounded like she has some kind of southern drawl."

Jean-Pierre dismissed the question altogether and went on a tangent about more core issues to the election, "[Americans] care about the economy. They care about lowering costs. They care about health care. That's what Americans care about. That's what they want to hear."

She added that a question from another reporter was much more important and had talked about “democracy and freedom.”

"I'm not even going to entertain some question about the pres— it's just, it it's just, hearing it sounds so ridiculous,” she added.

Doocy pressed further, asking, "Is that how she talks in meetings?" The press secretary dismissed the question again and said "Peter, we're moving on."

On Monday and throughout Tuesday, clips that were played side by side that had millions of views online showed Harris having different accents when she spoke to supporters in Detroit as well as Pittsburgh. Many users online accused Harris of being fake and phony in order to appeal to voters with her tone of voice.
