Yes or no, did you watch the full interview? Seriously did you…yes…or…no?

I did, and this article absolutely misrepresents the exchange. Tucker immediately wanted to get into asking questions about Harris. And after a policy question, Goodstein went straight into the pronunciation of her name, and seemed to want to burn a fair amount of the segment talking about the pronunciation. That was Tucker’s frustration…he wanted to ask questions about Harris’s positions and Goodstein was focused on her name…and you would have gotten the correct context by not relying on this extremely misleading article.

Tucker’s pronunciation is not an unreasonable one…Kamela looks like Pamela, thus one could easily assume a similar pronunciation. I didn’t know until Goodstein pronounced it that is “Comma-la”.

Not buying it…If she just came on the scene yesterday, I might buy it, but if Carlson who is presented as a news analyst (certainly not a journalist), he would know full well how to pronounce her name…I’ll give you a pass, because you are not expected to have kept up with the political news, which included her involvement in the democratic primaries.

Carlson was playing a game. In the words of one famous American, I would describe him as “nasty”.

I saw it too, and I agree with you entirely. Carlson was not furious, but amused at first, until Goodstein kept rudely interrupting him and talking over him. Then, Carlson seemed irritated, but at no point was he remotely near “furious”.

Just more fake news.

But it also shows that contrary to liberal claims, Fox has a lot of liberals on its shows even though they’re rude most of the time, like Goodstein.
 
I don’t even think the indignation was due to the pronunciation of Harris’ first name. It seemed to me he became irritated when Goodstein wouldn’t let go of it, talked over Carlson, and derailed the interview with it.

Carlson has democrats on nearly every night as near as I can tell, and some of them do a good interview. Some are on repeatedly. But if I was Carlson, I would never have Goodstein back.

Yes or no…did you see it? The writer is bearing false witness. How do I know? Because I saw the interview!

In fact, at the end, because Goodstein seemed to be avoiding the hard questions by wanting to spend an inordinate amount of time correcting Carlson’s pronunciation, Carlson said, “I’ll just call her Senator Harris, because I don’t want to get accused of mispronouncing her name.”

You didn’t see it, did you?

Wow. I didn’t figure you for a person who watches Tucker Carlson. Interesting.

However, What mattered more than your singular focus on the pronunciation of Harris’s name, was the question Carlson was trying to get answered which revolved around Harris, prior to getting the VP nod, said she believed the women that claim they were sexually assaulted by Joe Biden…now she is VP. What changed? Did she question Joe Biden like she did Bret Kavanaugh? Why not?

But hey, the pronunciation of a name is more important that sexual assault…when its politically convenient.

This might be highly irregular, but it is in keeping with the teachings of Christ.

I responded to this post, and my response was rightfully removed after being declared objectionable by members of this community.…who it was is not important.

But, because of my faith, I must make amends, if I am to profess to be a follower of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and wish to attend daily Mass tomorrow and receive the Blessed Sacrament.

Christ tells us in Matthew 5:23-24 “…if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.”

Therefore, I offer my heartfelt apology for offending anyone, so I may move on in my journey of faith.

So to you, KMC, others, and those serving as monitors of this noble website, I deeply apologize and especially ask as we pray in the Confetitor, that. “you, brethren,to pray for me to the Lord our God.”

God Bless all of you, and may Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for all of us!

I mentioned this to an American friend a couple of days ago. It’s caused some confusion in the UK as we do not pronounce the letter “o” the same way that Americans do (e.g. when Americans say “Oxford”, it often sounds, to me, more like Arksford or Ucksford). The way I am saying her name is “karmala” as in “karma”.
 
Someone please post the clip I saw today of Biden butchering her name shortly after the Tucker piece. If her team mate can’t get it right, why do we care about anyone else?

Two thoughts
  1. for those who missed it, the President does not pronounce his name “Forty-Five”.
  2. Go to about 14:50
    On this tape to see how Biden pronounces Harris’s name.

I just call her Camilla, so that she could have a patron saint.

“Kamala means “lotus” in Sanskrit, and is another name for the Hindu goddess Lakshmi”. I would change such a name upon converting to Christianity.

And I’m sure that with the different accents you have in the UK that there are those who would pronounce Tucker as “tooka”, (took as in book)

Definitely! Indeed, some of those who pronounce “Tucker” like “tooka” would pronounce “book” to rhyme with “Luke”, i.e. with a “oo” as in “boot” or “hoot”.
 
Its not the name that is offensive, it’s the audacity that anyone, you, I or Kamala would dare question the effectiveness of Trump as President.
