So kameltoe would be wrong??
Americans wouldn’t normally know how to positive a name from India
Depends.............
How about the Bitter Whore?? nobody will mispronounce it then.
According to rip van biden, she may qualify to work in a donut shop of 7/11.
I have a hunch this will be back, that we will never get over the hump where the Left doesn’t assume racism.
I’m going with commie-la.

Has he said she’s clean and well spoken yet?

STELLA !!!!!!! oops sorry
Tucker’s been pronouncing it “camel-uh” for many months; I always found it hilarious nobody pointed it out until now.
How about Willie Brown’s (fill in the blank)?
Has Biden made the crack about a “slight Indian accent” about kamala yet?
Is kamala Jamaican slang for knee pads?
Heels is better and more applicable.
I capitalize it, as she has done on it.
Perhaps he doesn’t consider her to be CLEAN.
It’s pronounced “Kommie la”
Extra points for multiple corpse-men.
