Former vice president Kamala Harris faced backlash for her usage of a “mob boss” accent while mimicking Donald Trump as she criticized his administration’s handling of international relations. She claimed that Trump’s “America First” mindset suggests stepping back from long-standing international relationships and partnerships. These remarks come amid rising tensions between the US and Iran, with Trump recently threatening to block the Strait of Hormuz after both sides failed to reach a deal.
Kamala Harris uses ‘mob boss’ accent for Donald Trump, faces backlash
During a conversation at a forum with the National Action Network, Harris shared her stance on how Trump approaches foreign policy while impersonating him in another accent. She said, “You know, the way that he’s thinking of foreign policy, it seems, is when he talks about America First, it’s to withdraw from these relationships and these connections.”
Harris further described Trump’s approach as that of a “mob boss,” saying it rejects the idea of cooperation and suggests division of major regions among powerful countries. “And then he kind of acts like a mob boss. So, then he’s kind of like, ‘Oh, well, you know, you take Eastern Europe, and I’ll take the Western Hemisphere. And then you over there, you, you get Asia, and we’ll just divide it up,’ right?” she added.
Her comments received massive backlash as several users took to social media to share their thoughts. One user wrote, “Add ‘mafia boss’ to Kamala Harris’ list of embarrassing accents.” Another mentioned, “Jesus Christ her voice makes me want to swear into traffic.”
Other reactions also included, “Why do all her accents sound like someone who just took a drag of a funny cigarette,” “This is embarrassing even for her,” and “Every speech feels like Kamala is auditioning for a new character instead of running for office.”
This month, Harris also spoke out against Trump when he took to Truth Social to issue a final warning to Iran as his 48-hour deadline approached. He threatened them with ending the whole civilization. The former VP took to X (formerly Twitter) to condemn his post.
She wrote, “The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a ‘whole civilization’ — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.” The politician added that Americans don’t support such acts before criticizing him over putting brave service members’ lives at risk and making life “unaffordable” for citizens.
