Republican Senator David Perdue repeatedly mispronounced the name of his Senate colleague and Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris while speaking at President Trump's rally in Georgia on Friday night. Political opponents of Harris, including President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, have repeatedly mispronounced her name.Her first name is pronounced "KAH'-mah-lah" — or, as she explains in her biography, "'comma-la,' like the punctuation mark."Perdue's opponent Jon Ossoff, tweeted that his rival "mocked Sen. Harris' name," adding, "We are so much better than this."My opponent, GOP Sen. David Perdue of anti-Semitic attack ad infamy, just mocked Sen. Harris' name as "Kamala-mala-mala-whatever" at a Trump rally.We are so much better than this.
