Just minutes after Kamala Harris was announced as Joe Biden’s running mate, President Donald Trump took a few shots at her during a press conference, calling her “disrespectful…horrible…extraordinarily nasty.”

It didn’t take long for Tucker Carlson to go after Kamala Harris: The Fox News host repeatedly mispronounced the Democratic VP candidate’s name on Tuesday’s show, and later shrugged it off when a guest tried to point out his mistake.
Carlson referred to Harris — who was chosen to be Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s running mate earlier on Tuesday — as “Ka-mal-a,” emphasizing the second syllable, when it’s pronounced “Kam-a-la,” with the emphasis on the first syllable.
