It sounded almost like, Bleach to me. He did this with Biden too. It was always, Bieedon. The guy is a total crackhead. ---

Kamala decided to become black? Went to an HBCU, was in a black sorority decades before entering politics. Donny should talk- he used to be a white guy then decided to turn orange. ---

I would hope that journalists (of all colors) - and the Harris campaign, give this the attention it deserves. _(I’m assuming this report is true. If it is, I expect to hear many more details of how the journalist received the threats, what specifically was threatened, how they were reported to and followed up by her employers and LEOs…)._ Just highlight this difference between the parties. Ask voters which group they wish to associate with. And ask why Trump does not publicly ask his followers to cease such behavior. Sure doesn’t seem to have been inaccurate for Hillary to characterize some Trump supporters as deplorables! ---

I wonder if his odd pronunciation of Black noted above is because mentally he’s repeating “I’m not supposed to say ‘N----r’ in public anymore, I have to say ‘Black’. Blaaak, bulack, balaack…” ---

He’s put out three Truthy Social posts I’ve seen calling her “Kamabla” – think that he’s going for his followers to read it as “KamaBLACK”? ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > He’s put out three Truthy Social posts I’ve seen calling her “Kamabla” – think that he’s going for his followers to read it as “KamaBLACK”? It surprises me how often he’s actually said her name correctly. If you asked me the second Biden dropped out how many times Trump would pronounce Kamala correctly I would have bet zero. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > He’s put out three Truthy Social posts I’ve seen calling her “Kamabla” – think that he’s going for his followers to read it as “KamaBLACK”? That’s a possibility, but I always thought it was more of a “blah,” as in boring. But his pronunciation of _black_ always makes me think about Mr. Garvey, the substitute teacher, in a classic skit from [“Key & Peele,”](https://youtu.be/Dd7FixvoKBw?si=sNcwobQXahivgqU1) especially Garvey’s struggle to say “Blake.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-to-attend-black-journalists-convention/1005016.md?page=21)
