I'm sure everyone can pronounce Harris properly.

 

It seems like lots of people are spending lots of time discussing how to pronounce Kamala.  I can't imagine why.  Have people been regularly referring to Vice President Pence as Mike?  Of course not.

 

But referring to a woman by her first name is a common trick practiced by insecure men.  A not so subtle put down.  And it works.

 

One can only wonder if it the 2016 election results would have been different if  instead of being "Hillary versus Trump" it was "Clinton versus Donald."
