https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-mocked-unveiling-new-accent-philadelphia-event-everything-about-woman-fake This article is clearly biased, using sources notorious for being anti-Harris, like "libs of TikTok" and Sean Parnell. Other claims made by the people this article uses as expert sources is, Harris sounds drunk, she tries new accents at every rally, and she was trying to emulate MLK despite there being absolutely 0 truth to any of those claims. Just because someone speaks to a churchgoing crowd doesn't mean she's trying to emulate a pastor.
False
