‘Just pathetic’: Trump attacks Harris for ‘cosplaying with elites’ on SNL as US vice president faces backlash for ‘fake accent’

Donald Trump criticized his Democratic rival Kamala Harris after she made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live just three days ahead of the US presidential election.

Kamala Harris' appearance on SNL came after popular podcaster Joe Rogan said she declined to appear in a lengthy interview due to scheduling conflicts.

Her SNL appearance came after popular podcaster Joe Rogan said the Harris campaign had made few demands to appear in an interview and hinted that the US vice president has declined to appear on his podcast due to scheduling conflicts.

On Saturday, Harris’ plane made a sudden stop in New York City to make a surprise appearance on the NBC sitcom show.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, Trump’s communications director Steven Cheung accused the Democratic candidate of “cosplaying” with her “elite friends.”

He further claimed that she has “nothing important to offer Americans” in her presidential campaign.

“Kamala Harris has nothing of substance to offer the American people, so that’s why she’s living out her twisted fantasy by cosplaying with her elitist friends on Saturday Night Leftists while her campaign fades into obscurity,” Cheung said.

He continued his tirade against Harris, saying her “destructive policies” have caused unimaginable suffering and harm to all Americans over the past four years. “She broke it, and President Trump will fix it.”

Kamala Harris targeted for ‘fake accent’

Meanwhile, Harris was widely criticized for using her “fake accent.”

“Kamala Harris spent three hours rehearsing for this cringe-inducing party on SNL. Complete with the fake black accent. This is a cool watch. Good Lord,” one X user wrote.

“Just hearing Kamala’s fake accent lowered my credit score by 50 points,” wrote another, “These fake accents would be bad enough if she was even half decent at it but this is just pathetic you know it’s bad if I’m ashamed of her.”

Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican descent, has been mocked for using a “blaccent” because she tailors her speech and tone to the race, class and other characteristics of her audience.

She was ridiculed online last week for preaching to a largely black crowd with a “fake accent.”
