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.

Watch below.

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.






Some gave Carlson a taste of his own medicine.



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

People Share Purchases Under $20 That Made Their Lives Way Easier

Sometimes, in an effort to improve our lives in some capacity requires us to make a significant dent in our bank account.

Even though it might be yogurt for dinner for a few weeks after, we still feel good about our expensive purchases when we see the difference a high-powered washing machine makes, or feel the cool air from our upgraded air conditioner.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
