Karine Jean-Pierre brushes off question about Kamala Harris' 'Southern accent': 'This is insane'
Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asks the press secretary Vice President Kamala Harris' apparent Southern accent and why Biden appears to be harder on Netanyahu than the leader of Hamas.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was quick to dismiss a question about Kamala Harris' apparent new "Southern accent" when she was pressed on the vice president’s recent shift in dialect during a briefing on Tuesday.
Jean-Pierre was taking questions from reporters during her daily news briefing when Fox News' Peter Doocy brought up Harris’ new "accent" that went viral over the weekend and was compared to "Foghorn Leghorn" following her Labor Day rally in Detroit.
"Since when does the vice president have what sounds like a Southern accent?" Doocy asked.
"I have no idea what you’re talking about," Jean-Pierre replied, visibly irritated.
