U.S. and Russian officials have reached a prisoner swap agreement that is set to see Marine veteran Paul Whelan and Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich freed after both were detained by Russian authorities for well over a year.

Fox News reported on the deal between the Kremlin and the Biden administration, part of a “massive swap of political prisoners and journalists” that also involves several German citizens caught up in the detention system. The most high-profile of the soon-to-be free men is Gershkovich, an international reporter for the Wall Street Journal who was arrested and charged with espionage. Since his arrest on March 29th, 2023 while reporting from the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg, an international outcry by journalists and reporting organizations has amped up the pressure on the U.S. to reach a deal that would see him freed.

(VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?)

Dow Jones CEO Almar Latour and Wall Street Journal Editor-in-Chief Emma Tucker blasted the “sham conviction” of Gershkovich last year. “This disgraceful, sham conviction comes after Evan has spent 478 days in prison, wrongfully detained, away from his family and friends, prevented from reporting, all for doing his job as a journalist,” Latour and Tucker said. “We will continue to do everything possible to press for Evan’s release and to support his family,” they continued. “Journalism is not a crime, and we will not rest until he’s released. This must end now.”

Whelan has had it far worse, however. The Marine veteran was arrested back in 2018. The corporate security executive from Michigan was hit with espionage-related charges and has been jailed in Russia for more than five years, according to his family. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison. “We’ve made clear to the Russians our expectation that we will learn more about the charges, come to understand what it is he’s been accused of and if the detention is not appropriate we will demand his immediate return,” former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said at the time.

The executive retired from the Marines in 2007 after being dishonorably discharged after being convicted by a military court of using fake identity papers and attempting to steal thousands of dollars while serving in Iraq. Since 2008 he has been living in Russia, cultivating a network of new friends and associates as he worked to rebuild his life. “My brother is not a spy,” Whelan’s brother David said shortly after his arrest. “Paul’s background is in law enforcement. He has military experience, he’s in corporate security.”

Left unsaid is which Russian prisoners will be freed by either the U.S. or Germany as part of the swap. The most recent exchange of prisoners came in 2022 when WNBA star Brittney Griner was released after arriving in Russia for a game and being found in possession of a marijuana vape pen. Her freedom was predicated on the U.S. releasing Viktor Bout, a notorious international arms dealer linked to small arms transactions around the world. Bout was less than halfway through a 25-year sentence.

Calls to boycott the Paris Olympics are growing louder following a boxing match between a female fighter and a biological man who knocked her out in the opening seconds of the bout.

Angela Carini of Italy abandoned her pursuit of a gold medal after sparring with Algeria’s Imane Khelif, who failed a gender test but was allowed to compete in the female division. The match lasted just 46 seconds before Carini threw in the towel, prompting outcries from prominent swimmer and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines, among others. “Men don’t belong in women’s sports #IStandWithAngelaCarini” wrote the former University of Kentucky swimmer Thursday morning on X. In less than four hours her viral post had been reposted more than 82,000 times and received 7,700 comments.

After absorbing several powerful punches from the Algerian fighter, Carini retreated to her corner where she informed her coach that her nose hurt too much to continue. A ref waved the fight over and the Italian boxer kneeled down in the ring in defeat. “She’s too strong,” Renzini recalled Carini telling him, according to Yahoo! Sports. In a heartbreaking scrum with reporters 20 minutes after the fight, Carini apologized to her nation for failing to last more than a minute. “I had entered the ring to fight,” Carini said in Italian after. “I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I go out with my head held high.”

Even pro-trans sports activists were shocked at the outcome, criticizing the Olympics for allowing the match to go forward. “Once again I will start with the disclaimer that I have compassion for anyone who is transitioning, is trans or is suffering from gender dysphoria,” wrote entrepreneur Jason Calacanis on X. “What we are seeing at the Olympics is insane. They should restart this competition and remove the biological males. This is profoundly unfair and extremely dangerous. Someone will be killed.”

“And to the person who is a biological male and insists on competing with this massive advantage, I question your ethics and morality.”

Both Khalief and Chinese Tapei’s Lin Yu‑ting controversially entered the women’s division as biological men despite previous disqualifications in the sport. During last year’s World Boxing Championships in New Delhi, Khelif was disqualified after the International Boxing Association ruled that fighters with XY chromosomes would no longer be allowed to fight against biological women. Yu-Ting was disqualified from a bronze medal fight during the same competition. Since then, the International Olympic Committee has stripped the IBA of its status as the sport’s governing body and operated under more relaxed rules established by the IOC’s Paris 2024 Boxing Unit.

IOC spokesperson Mark Adams deflected when asked about whether the committee bears any responsibility for the outcome of the match. “I would just say that everyone competing in the women’s category is complying with the competition eligibility rules. They are women in their passports,” he told the news outlet. “These athletes competed many times before for many years,” Adams added. “They didn’t just suddenly arrive.”

The IBA countered that it undertook a “meticulous review” of fighters’ qualifications before last year’s international championship. “While IBA remains committed to ensuring competitive fairness in all of our events, we express concern over the inconsistent application of eligibility criteria by other sporting organizations, including those overseeing the Olympic Games,” the IBA said in its statement. “The IOC’s differing regulations on these matters, in which IBA is not involved, raise serious questions about both competitive fairness and athletes’ safety.”

Former boxer Ryan Garcia was apoplectic. “Now men who turned themselves into woman. Can fight woman in the Olympics. Boycott the Olympics this trans s*** is getting way outta fucking hand. Ain’t no way a man should be beating up on a woman,” he wrote on X.

Best-selling author John LeFevre tied Vice President Kamala Harris to the melee and suggested she would support overhauls of Title IX laws to allow biological men to compete in women’s sports at all levels. Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) raged as well, writing, “The consequence of the insane trans ideology is on full display at the Olympics: biological men pretending to be women beating up female boxers, with full IOC approval. In the name of equality, they are putting actual women in danger.”

Online influencers are beginning to see a façade in the making by the Harris campaign’s digital team as it touts an explosion of memes and “brat” behavior that champions their boss-lady candidate during her second week at the top of the Democratic ticket.

Several Gen Z content creators who spoke with the Daily Caller said they believe the vice president’s team is “astroturfing” on TikTok, Instagram, and other social media networks with messages like “Kamala is brat” and “hot brat summer” as they work to engage younger, more apathetic voters around her nascent presidential campaign. The manufactured appeal is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of influencers who see the paid promotion as inauthentic. Steve McGrew, an online comedian, shared with the outlet a message he received recommending that content creators “encourage your fans to share, like, and follow Kamala, post one or more memes, post your content on TikTok, Instagram, or both.” The posts would be awarded with payouts from a company called “LaunchViral.”

(VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?)

“We’re excited to offer you a collaboration opportunity with Kamala Harris’ 2024 Presidential Campaign,” the advertisement email states. An advertisement link within the message has since been deactivated after users flooded the site with criticism about their artificial pro-Harris strategy. Other suggested content includes poking fun at Harris’s absurd statement about falling “out of a coconut tree.” McGrew responded on X, “They trying to get ME to be a paid shill for Kamala. GFYS! But let this be a lesson… they are PAYING people to pretend to support.”

Chrissy Clark, a Gen-Z conservative commentator who previously worked for the Daily Caller, called the Harris camp’s play “dystopian s***” from a Democratic National Committee that regularly relies on an “influencer dark network” to push their candidates out into pop culture. Clark predicted that the online promotion of Harris will only grow louder as Election Day nears. In order to harness the power of the youth vote, she explained, Harris needs to be rebranded as “cool and approachable” while labeling her critics as racist or antifeminist because “she’s a woman, or because she is black.”

Savannah Fuhr, another social media influencer, said Harris has a lot of catching up to do after essentially sitting on the cultural sideline for the past three years in office. “She hasn’t done a good job of representing the people,” Fuhr told The Daily Caller. “Gen Z is looking for a leader” who will deliver more than vacuous promises about eliminating student debt which are no longer enough to convince young people “to actually vote for her,” she added.

The mainstream media’s obsession with covering the latest trends on TikTok is curdling into cringy takes about how non-cringy Harris has become. “She’s gone from cringe to cool,” CNN commentator Van Jones stated. “A whole generation has taken all the content and remixed it in all these incredible TikTok videos” showing Harris laughing, dancing, and otherwise looking “cool and approachable.”

Over 41 million Gen Z voters will be eligible for the November elections, according to Tufts’ CIRCLE. Recent polling shows that men under 30 are partial to President Trump while women in that age group generally lean left.

Chrissy Clark, a Gen-Z conservative commentator who previously worked for the Daily Caller, called the Harris camp’s play “dystopian s***” from a Democratic National Committee that regularly relies on an “influencer dark network” to push their candidates out into pop culture. Clark predicted that the online promotion of Harris will only grow louder as Election Day nears. In order to harness the power of the youth vote, she explained, Harris needs to be rebranded as “cool and approachable” while labeling her critics as racist or antifeminist because “she’s a woman, or because she is black.”

Savannah Fuhr, another social media influencer, said Harris has a lot of catching up to do after essentially sitting on the cultural sideline for the past three years in office. “She hasn’t done a good job of representing the people,” Fuhr told The Daily Caller. “Gen Z is looking for a leader” who will deliver more than vacuous promises about eliminating student debt which are no longer enough to convince young people “to actually vote for her,” she added.

The mainstream media’s obsession with covering the latest trends on TikTok is curdling into cringy takes about how non-cringy Harris has become. “She’s gone from cringe to cool,” CNN commentator Van Jones stated. “A whole generation has taken all the content and remixed it in all these incredible TikTok videos” showing Harris laughing, dancing, and otherwise looking “cool and approachable.”

Over 41 million Gen Z voters will be eligible for the November elections, according to Tufts’ CIRCLE. Recent polling shows that men under 30 are partial to President Trump while women in that age group generally lean left.

, Online influencers are beginning to see a façade in the making by the Harris campaign’s digital team as it touts an explosion of memes and “brat” behavior that champions their boss-lady candidate during her second week at the top of the Democratic ticket. Several Gen Z content creators who spoke with the Daily Caller said they believe the vice president’s team is “astroturfing” on TikTok, Instagram, and other social media networks with messages like “Kamala is brat” and “hot brat summer” as they work to engage younger, more apathetic voters around her nascent presidential campaign. The manufactured appeal is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of influencers who see the paid promotion as inauthentic. Steve McGrew, an online comedian, shared with the outlet a message he received recommending that content creators “encourage your fans to share, like, and follow Kamala, post one or more memes, post your content on TikTok, Instagram, or both.” The posts would be awarded with payouts from a company called “LaunchViral.” (VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?) “We’re excited to offer you a collaboration opportunity with Kamala Harris’ 2024 Presidential Campaign,” the advertisement email states. An advertisement link within the message has since been deactivated after users flooded the site with criticism about their artificial pro-Harris strategy.

Republican U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) wasn’t about to let CNN’s Kaitlan Collins box him in on apologizing for remarks by former President Donald Trump on Wednesday questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’s connection to her Black ancestry after a long history of promoting her Indian heritage earlier in life.

The Arkansas conservative, who endorsed Trump back in January, challenged Collins to ask the Democratic presidential candidate about her wavering policy positions instead of focusing on Trump’s controversial take during an interview before the National Association of Black Journalists. Much of the mainstream media has focused on the former president’s assertion that Harris recently “became Black” in an attempt to ingratiate herself with minority voters who polls show have supported Trump at historic levels.

(VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?)

“How does [Harris] changing her views on her policy justify having the Republican nominee questioning her race? Does that increase or decrease your party’s chances of winning in November?” the CNN reporter asked Cotton before he flipped the script on her. “Well, Kaitlan you haven’t been having that conversation with Kamala Harris because she’s been hiding out, just like Joe Biden hid out before her. My point is when are you and the rest of the media going to demand that Kamala Harris come out and answer questions in an unscripted format about where she stands for this country, instead of continuing to focus on what Donald Trump said today?”

Reminding Collins of President Biden’s infamous 2020 comment, “You ain’t Black,” the senator asked her if she could “imagine a more insulting comment” especially compared to Trump’s take on Harris today. “Joe Biden is presuming to judge the political views of one-eighth of our fellow citizens based on their skin color. Did you ever ask Kamala Harris to condemn his remarks?”

The 32-year-old reporter fought to regain the ground, attempting to speak over Cotton as he continued to turn the table on her. “Did you ever ask Kamala Harris why she was willing to serve as vice president for a man she essentially called racist and a segregationist? Have you or anyone else in the media asked those questions, Kaitlan?”

Collins offered a milquetoast excuse that she has asked “Harris to come on” the show so she could ostensibly be asked those questions, a far-fetched scenario to say the least.

WATCH:

Even at the NABJ reception, reactions from the room to President Trump’s statements were far from one-sided. Audible laughter, clapping, and cheering could be heard from some corners of the room while the Republican questioned whether Harris, who recently adopted a Southern accent during a rally in Atlanta, was sincere about her roots. “I didn’t know she was black… until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black. Now she wants to be known as black,” said Trump, prompting some giggling in the room.

A tragic year for the U.K.’s Royal Family has only gotten worse with the news that a senior member passed away earlier this week at the age of 82.

Among the troubles besetting the tight-knit clan are battles with cancer by King Charles and Kate Middleton, both of whom have been sidelined from some of their official duties while undergoing treatment. neither do deaths in the family, including the former lover of Princess Beatrice and a suicide by Thomas Kingston, the husband to Lady Gabriella, continue to relent. On July 29th Lord Robert Fellowes, the uncle to Prince William and Prince Harry by marriage, died of undisclosed causes according to the New York Post.

(VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?)

Lord Fellowes was married to Lady Jane Fellowes, the sister of late Princess Diana, and for a time served as Queen Elizabeth II’s private secretary. From 1990 to 1999, he remained among the queen’s most trusted advisors during some of the most turbulent times in her reign, including the death of Princess Diana and messy, public divorces by three of her children. He and Lady Jane Fellowes married in 1978 and were together for 46 years. Together they parented three children, Alexander Robert, 41; Eleanor Ruth, 38; and Laura Jane, 44 — who is Princess Charlotte’s godmother, the outlet added.

Buckingham Palace has not yet shared news of a private funeral ceremony.

Known as a relentless and reliable workhorse and confidant, Lord Fellowes climbed the ladder at the palace, rising to become deputy private secretary in 1986 and four years later rising to the senior role, replacing Sir William Heseltine. Following his departure from the palace in 1999 Lord Fellowes returned to his private sector career as a banker. For his royal services, he was honored with the title Baron Fellowes of Shotesham in the County of Norfolk in the Queen’s Birthday Honors List. He was also honored in the Parliament as a nonvoting member until his retirement in 2022. Even then, he remained an extra equerry to Queen Elizabeth shortly before her passing, or an honorary appointee who can be called on to serve in an emergency.

The Royal Family has seen its fair share of fissures among members, most notably the public separation of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. However, Lord Fellowes maintained close relationships with most or all of the family members until the end. He remained close with Harry and his now-estranged brother, Prince William, and attended the Prince and Princess of Wales’s wedding at Westminster Abbey in 2011. He also attended the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding at Windsor Castle in 2018. His prominence in the family was also recognized in the hit Netflix series “The Crown” where Lord Fellowes was played by actor Andrew Havill.

Kamala Harris’s veepstakes are coming down to a final shortlist of contenders, according to several Wall Street observers who say they are banking on several prominent names under consideration.

Axios first reported that left-leaning financial titans are being asked by the vice president’s campaign to contribute immediately, citing a financial rule that bars contributions to tickets featuring a sitting governor. That ask is fueling speculation that Harris is closing in on one or two Democrats who could be her running mate. In that scenario, U.S. senators like Mark Kelly (D-AZ) would be out of the race while a handful of others remain, including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Another governor, Roy Cooper of North Carolina, said earlier this week that he does not want to be considered for the No. 2 spot.

(VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?)

With eliminations coming by the day, Wall Street’s Democrats believe they may have until Sunday to send in a final check before an announcement is made. Harris is expected to announce her running mate by Tuesday, when she will hold her first rally with her pick in Philadelphia, according to a report from Politico. The two candidates then plan to hold rallies in seven swing states over a span of four days. In addition to Philadelphia, Harris and her running mate will head to western Wisconsin, Detroit, Raleigh, Savannah, Phoenix, and Las Vegas.

Some insiders view Pennsylvania Gov. Shapiro as the leading veep candidate, given that the announcement will be made in Philadelphia. In addition, Harris aides may be impressed by his ability to win the swing state in 2022 by about 15% compared to the 1.2% margin of victory President Joe Biden received in 2020. On Tuesday Harris indicated she has no plans to institute a federal ban on fracking, the controversial energy production method that has made Pennsylvania a natural gas powerhouse. The move, reported by Politico, is another sign that Gov. Shapiro, a fracking proponent, has the vice president’s ear on matters of importance to his home state.

Recent polls have put Harris in a dead heat with former President Donald Trump, and on Wednesday a set of dueling polls gave each candidate a narrow lead in Pennsylvania. The all-important Rust Belt state may decide the election, given that Harris’s reelection strategy largely relies on abandoning Democrats’ “Blue Wall” of midwestern states in favor of southern strongholds where Black and Hispanic voters make up larger shares of the electorates. President Trump, who enjoys historic levels of support among minority voters, now must fight to defend his gains against the country’s first Black female presidential nominee.

The selection of a vice president may either buttress the Harris campaign or saddle it with baggage. President Trump has seen his share of both since the selection of Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) earlier this month. Vance, who has propelled himself to the national spotlight on the strength of his hardscrabble upbringing, brings serious policy chops to the ticket and is expected to perform well in a debate. Democrats were quick to highlight contentious comments he previously made about “childless cat ladies” running the Democratic Party, forcing the GOP’s No. 2 to walk back his remarks in subsequent interviews.

Democrats were quick to highlight contentious comments he previously made about “childless cat ladies” running the Democratic Party, forcing the GOP’s No. 2 to walk back his remarks in subsequent interviews.

Tragic news has hit the cast from season 21 of “The Bachelor,” according to loved ones who said their beautiful daughter and friend tragically passed away at the age of just 31 earlier this week.

The season ran during 2017, when Hailey Merkt vied for the heart of protagonist Nick Viall. Family members wrote on Instagram that the young reality TV star had lost a lengthy battle against leukemia, according to the New York Post. “It is with broken hearts we share that our beloved Hailey has passed away after a courageous fight for her life,” the caption began. “Hailey faced this journey with unimaginable strength, grace, and selflessness. Her determination, courage, and will to live surpassed every timeline the doctors gave her, and she chose to spend her final moments surrounded by loved ones and doing what she cherished most with no regrets. She will forever be remembered as anything but boring, always hysterically funny, and as someone who lived fully in the present moment. Hailey embraced life with an unmatched zest; her beautiful spirit has touched countless lives.”

Merkt’s loved ones added she “will be profoundly missed by all who knew her” and directed fans to contribute to a GoFundMe page set up to support her family after the loss of a “difficult” cancer journey. “We invite you to share your favorite memories of our dear Hailey, whether through a direct message or by posting them. Your stories and moments mean the world,” her family wrote. Since her passing on July 26th of last week, fans have opened their wallets and raised more than $113,000. The charity will remain open until August 10th.

Despite being eliminated from “The Bachelor” season in its second week, Merkt left an indelible mark on her fellow cast members, many of whom expressed their grief on social media at her passing. “Baby girl we will love you always ,” wrote Jasmine Goode, a fellow contestant who has since gone on to star in Bravo’s “The Valley.” She followed up, writing, “I’ll never forget that beautiful smile and laugh that made me crack up!! Love you.” Danielle Maltby, another veteran of the show’s 21st season, wrote, “I count myself so lucky to know your laugh and grateful to have met and loved the realest, warmest, most beautiful soul in the weirdest of places forever grateful for your friendship there and in the real world…. What a force my girl, rest easy so much love to all your people.”

Raven Gates, who came within spitting distance of winning the contest as the runner-up, said Haily’s memory will remain with those who never and loved her. “Oh my gosh!!! I’m so so sad to hear this I was so hoping for her recovery. Rest easy, Hailey you’ll never be forgotten,” she wrote. Season 21 winner Vanessa Grimaldi added, “Our beautiful girl!! This news broke me. You are such a light, your beautiful big smile will always be something I remember. Always. Rest easy, friend. Sending big hugs to your loved ones xoxo.”

Family members left behind, including her mother Michele, sister Jenny, brother Kyle, and “love of her life and soulmate” Henry, will not hold a funeral for Hailey, per her final wishes according to the obituary.

During testimony on Capitol Hill Tuesday, the acting director of the Secret Service told lawmakers that his force had prepared for local law enforcement agencies to provide counter-snipers on the perimeter of former President Donald Trump’s deadly rally on July 13th. That came as news to officers in Butler, Pennsylvania, who told outlets that they were never asked to do so.

The New York Times reported on remarks by Acting Director Ronald Rowe Jr. before the House Oversight Committee where he insisted an investigation into the assassination attempt is ongoing and was grilled by furious lawmakers who were incredulous that he has not fired anyone involved in the historic security failure. At one point Rowe expressed disappointment at state and local security partners for not positioning a counter-sniper on the roof where a 20-year-old man was able to fire multiple rifle rounds at President Trump, striking him once. “They should have been on the roof,” the chief said in what amounted to a mirror excuse of that given by former Director Kimberly Cheatle who resigned last week.

(VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?)

In a shocking admission, Rowe said it was the Secret Service’s responsibility to tell local teams tasked with guarding the rally’s perimeter that they were expected to have snipers ready. That request may not have been made, he admitted, a baffling shortcoming that left him questioning the decision-making processes within his own agency. “We need to be very direct to our local law enforcement counterparts that they understand exactly what their expectation is,” he told lawmakers.

Ultimately, Rowe said, the failure to secure President Trump and a death and injuries to rallygoers was “a failure of imagination” to see that “we actually do live in a very dangerous world where people do actually want to do harm to our protectee.” However, he added, “We didn’t challenge our own assumptions. We assumed that someone is going to cover that.”

Authorities have played a lengthy blame game since the shooting, and Rowe’s comments are sure to rankle local officers who have cited a lack of communication from the Secret Service and delays in responding to the shooter and are still participating in an after-action investigation by the FBI. “We are looking at this, and they should have been on the roof, and the fact they were in the building is something I’m still trying to understand.” Mr. Rowe said, promising the Secret Service would do better in the future in its coordination efforts.

That explanation wasn’t good enough for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) who aggressively questioned the acting director about his previous denials of additional security to President Trump and asked why no one in the agency has been fired as a result. “Isn’t the fact that a former president was shot, that a good American is dead, that other Americans were critically wounded — isn’t that enough mission failure for you to say that the person who decided that building should not be in the security perimeter probably ought to be stepped down?” Hawley asked him. “I want to be neutral and make sure that we get to the bottom of it and interview everybody in order to determine if there was more than one person who perhaps exercised bad judgment,” Rowe replied, saying he does not want to “zero in on one or two individuals.”

History is laden with attempts by politicians to be relatable that have fallen flat, but Vice President Kamala Harris may have outdone all others this year with a cringy Southern accent that is being mocked online following her speech at an Atlanta rally.

The veep, a native of Oakland, California, dropped her r’s as she addressed a friendly crowd of 10,000 in Georgia’s capital city Tuesday night, generating a wave of criticism about her appropriation of the Southern twang to appeal for votes. Fox News highlighted some of the scorn she’s receiving online after video showed the Democratic leader changing up her speech pattern.

(VOTE: Are You Supporting TRUMP Or KAMALA In November?)

“You helped us win in 2020 and we gonna do it again in 2024!” she yelled as the crowd roared. “Kamala is a Jamaican/Indian from San Francisco. She is not from the south as this fake attempt to randomly develop a southern accent clearly shows. Thanks for the laugh Kamala,” one anti-Harris user on X wrote.

“Kamala Harris went to speak in Atlanta and now has a southern accent,” OutKick founder Clay Travis said on X, sharing a similar clip. “Why do people do this? It’s just so transparently fake.” His followers seemed to agree. “No one goes to Massachusetts and suddenly talks like a Kennedy. It’s only the South,” one wrote in response. “It’s also usually to black southern voters,” said another.

“It’s what sociopaths do,” one reply said.

“It’s called mirroring and it is a strong narcissistic tendency,” another user said.

Conservative columnist Ian Haworth reminded his followers that Hillary Clinton over the years has made her own failed attempts at a Southern accent since moving from New York to live in Arkansas during Bill Clinton’s time as governor. Harris’s attempt at a “fake southern accent puts Hillary Clinton to shame,” he wrote.

Historically speaking, Harris has stiff competition if she wants to vie to be among the cringiest U.S. politicians in modern history. During his 2004 campaign for president, Massachusetts-born John Kerry was photographed in full camouflage on a deer hunt in Ohio. Mitt Romney, who was worth $200 million at the time of his 2012 presidential run, garnered a wave of groans when he told a televised audience that he was often worked up about “getting the pink slip” at work. Former President Barack Obama bowled for a paltry score of 37 while working the lanes in Pennsylvania during 2008, and former President George H.W. Bush did his best to eschew his pampered New England upbringing during the 1992 campaign, strapping on cowboy boots in Texas and expressing amazement at the new cash register technologies in grocery stores.

Critics of Vice President Kamala Harris are reaching deep into her past, unearthing evidence that she was showered with prominent, well-paid positions and a luxury BMW car as part of her relationship with the much older Willie Brown, according to an exposé by the New York Post.

Harris, who previously served as California’s attorney general, rose the prosecutorial ranks while dating Brown, a powerbroker in the state’s Democratic circles who served as Speaker for the state assembly from 1980 to 1995. The two met in 1994 when she was just 29 and he was 60, jumpstarting her career as Brown secured her trips to Paris and exclusive access to the Oscars. Her rapid ascent up the ranks vis-à-vis her relationship with Brown is chronicled in the 2021 book “Kamala’s Way: An American Life” by journalist Dean Morain. “Over the course of the relationship, Brown gave Harris a BMW, she traveled with him to Paris, attended the Academy Awards,” Morain wrote, including an item about Brown once taking her to Boston where they met with one Donald J. Trump.

Early 90’s news clips obtained by Morain describe the power couple as “the speaker’s new steady,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle, while the Los Angeles Times called Harris Brown’s “frequent companion.” Shortly before he ended his career as speaker, Brown in 1994 appointed Harris to the California Medical Assistance Commission, earning her a $72,000 annual salary that at the time was worth more than $150,000 in today’s dollars. She also received media attention as part of the commission’s monthly public meetings.

Brown, now 90 years old, hasn’t been shy about claiming credit for positioning Harris over the years into roles that ultimately propelled her to the precipice of the Oval Office. In 2019, the former San Francisco mayor admitted the two had a fling. “Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker. And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco,” he added.

Harris reached the San Francisco DA’s office in 2003, using it as a stepping stone to reach the state AG’s office seven years later. She was reelected in 2014 before winning a seat in the U.S. Senate in 2017. She ran for president two years later and drew scorn from then-candidate Joe Biden for accusing him of racism during a bipartisan crackdown on criminals in the 90s. However, the future president ultimately picked Harris as his running mate and last week turned the top of the ticket over to her after facing tremendous pressure to bow out.

President Trump’s campaign has struggled to find consensus on an angle of attack against Harris, the first Black woman to lead a major party’s presidential ticket. She can lean on a hardscrabble upbringing, raised in a household with meager savings and as a child endured a lengthy custody battle between her mother and father. Former classmates remember the future veep as “spunky” and ” super-cool,” the outlet added, with one saying she refrained from dating while in high school.
