America's most successful racist to lose Dancing with the Stars, Tucker Carlson, wasn't happy about Democratic nominee Joe Biden's selection of Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate in the 2020 election.
On his primetime Fox News slot, Carlson repeatedly pronounces Harris's name incorrectly, saying "CAM-uh-luh."
In her memoir, Harris explains that her first name is pronounced "comma-la."

As a host who rants nightly about a so-called lack of journalistic integrity, some might expect Carlson to correct himself for the sake of accuracy. 
But when guest Richard Goodstein gently corrected Carlson's pronunciation, the host's face reddened even more than its natural state, and soon Carlson sounded like one of the imaginary hypersensitive college students he says are taking over the United States.

After Goodstein gently said he may want to pronounce her name correctly out of respect for a Vice Presidential candidate, Carlson exclaimed:
"So I'm disrespecting her by mispronouncing her name unintentionally. So it begins. You're not allowed to criticize [Kuh-MAH-la] Harris or Kamala Harris or whatever. Okay, I unintentionally mispronounced her name, but I love the idea that she's immune from criticism."Carlson saw pressure to correctly pronounce a candidate's name as shielding the Senator from criticism.
People thought that was just wild.
If anyone ever asks me why I yanked out cable TV, Tucker and Rush would be at the top of the list. They confuse assertive with obnoxious.

So wait ... is mispronouncing her name accidental, no big deal, or criticism? Tucker seems to think it's all three.

The guest is 100% correct - pronouncing her name the right way is important. Had a CS teacher once that recorded everyone pronouncing their name and then used their names correctly for the rest of the semester. Most important lesson I had for future success.

Very petty, @TuckerCarlson. She's a Senator and VP nominee. You can't try to pronounce her name correctly? The guest politely advised, and you called it an attack. You intentionally mispronounced it again! Time to go trout fishing again.
— Tara Jordan (@jordantl) August 12, 2020

They...literally don't know how to even handle...her name. Wow.

Cute to see Tuck-Air upset.

To be fair, I mispronounced Tucker. I always say F**ker. My bad.

Carlson has at least three months—and potentially four years—to learn how to pronounce the name correctly.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg criticized former President Donald Trump's running mate J.D. Vance after being shown a clip on CNN of Vance lamenting to far-right pundit Tucker Carlson about "people without children," suggesting that people like Buttigieg are controlling the Democratic Party.
Buttigieg's high profile as a gay man in one of the government's top positions forced him to respond to attacks against him, his sexuality, his relationship with his husband, and the fact they have children.
