White House dismisses questions about Kamala Harris' new 'southern accent:' 'Just insane'

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was quick to dismiss a question about Kamala Harris' apparent new "southern accent" when she was pressed on the vice president’s recent shift in dialect during a briefing on Tuesday.

Jean-Pierre was taking questions from reporters during her daily news briefing when Fox News' Peter Doocy brought up Harris’ new "accent" that went viral over the weekend and was compared to "Foghorn Leghorn" following her Labor Day rally in Detroit.

"Since when does the vice president have what sounds like a southern accent?" Doocy asked.

"I have no idea what you’re talking about," Jean-Pierre replied, visibly irritated.

"Well, she was talking about unions in Detroit using one tone of voice, she used the same line in Pittsburgh, and it sounded like she at least had some kind of southern drawl," Doocy pressed.

"I mean, do you hear the question that you’re – I mean, do you think Americans seriously think that this is an important question?" Jean-Pierre pushed back. "You know what they care about? They care about the economy, they care about lowering costs, they care about health care. That’s what they want to hear…democracy and freedom…I’m not going to even entertain some question about … it’s just. Hearing it sounds so ridiculous. The question – I’m talking about the question – is just insane."

Doocy proceeded to ask whether Harris invokes the purported accent in meetings at the White House.

"I’m just - Peter, we’re moving on. We’re so moving on," Jean-Pierre said.
