Georgia Sen. David Perdue is drawing outrage after appearing to mock Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris' name while warming up the crowd ahead of a rally for President Donald Trump speech on Friday night.

Perdue, who has been a Senate colleague with Harris for over three years, was railing about Senate Democrats at the president's Macon, Georgia, rally before flubbing Harris' name and then going on to mock her.

"The most insidious thing that Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden are trying to perpetuate, and Bernie [Sanders] and Elizabeth [Warren] and Kamala -- Kah-ma-la, or Kah-mah-la, or Kamala-mala-mala, I don't know, whatever."

(snip)

Democrat Jon Ossoff, who is running against Perdue, wrote "we are so much better than this" in sharing a clip of Perdue's mispronouncing Harris' name.

Perdue is and always has been a vile piece of shit. He's served in the Senate for over 3 years with Senator Harris, he fucking KNOWS how to pronounce her name, despite the bullshit justification from his communications director.

[AZ8theist]

30. "Rube Necks"...

GONE!!!

[Hoyt]

31. Not pressing charges. Where I live, "red necks" and "red state" is just not

descriptive enough.

[AZ8theist]

34. I hear you on that one...

Same in Arizona. Plenty of Rube Necks as well. Unfortunately, a lot Doturd supporters around here are neither rubes nor red necks. They're just plain racist assholes.

[Hoyt]

35. I get it. It's quite disconcerting. So many people I knew 50 years ago have

become/remained racist assholes.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. going to push us too far and then shit will happen

[RandySF]

4. It's all about polarizing voters.

[Skittles]

5. racist asshole appealing to racist assholes

seriously sickening

[FeelingBlue]

6. After hearing this,

I donated to Ossoff. Please join me in helping fund the end of Perdue’s stint in the senate.

[Lefta Dissenter]

19. I DID!

Your reminder inspired me.

[SunSeeker]

7. He was playing to his racist base.

The Republican Southern Strategy appears to be all they've got.

[mdbl]

8. Perdue is running foul lying ads all over the state's local stations right now

Of course, his ads accuse Ossoff of being everything he actually is.

[Roy Rolling]

9. Stop Being Outraged

The joke is on anybody who is outraged. Those good people are the real targets of the childishness. Trumpsters endlessly mock people—it’s all they got. Personal attacks, never substance.

When liberals and other sensible adults are outraged by such stunts, they are mocked by GOP instigators and deplorables. “Owning the libs” is all they have left since the election os lost for Trump.

Expect more personal attacks, don’t respond to it. You will be mocked. Ignore them. Put your head down and drive a Biden voter to the polls. Look up on November 4th.

[OldBaldy1701E]

24. I agree with one exception...

hold you head high! Do not let them see you skulking around. Do not let them think they have accomplished anything. You walk to that voting place with your head held high. You wear that 'I Voted!' sticker as you waltz into the grocery store with that Biden shirt on and smile like the fucking Joker as you do. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

[Mike Nelson]

10. Well...

... I had trouble with her name. People like Perdue, who knows how to say it, should be more helpful. Let's hope Perdoo do doo doo doo is swiftly retired!

[Maeve]

14. That's Perdoodle-doodle-doo

Like a strutting rooster, thinking he makes the sun rise

[3825-87867]

16. Good name for a "Chickenshit Politician

Perdoo-doo! More than name "dropping."

Just like the chicken shit politicians all the russianpublicans are.
I wonder if he's related to the chicken pluckin corporate asshole?

[okaawhatever]

27. Perdon't. nt

[vlyons]

11. Such hateful mean-spirited misogynist men,

who find women to be an easy target for their vile and venom. Do they ever talk about policies for a healthcare system, or infrastructure, or good-paying jobs, or affordable college, or easier voting?

Of course not. They just dig up the corpse of anti-communism, abortion, and keeping blacks and immigrants down and "in their place."

[beachbumbob]

12. pure racism feeding the trump/gop racist party, we must hope this spurs

more democratic voters and moderate gop voters who have some honor and dignity to vote them OUT

[gademocrat7]

13. David Perdue must be voted out.

He is a despicable racist. He is a greedy evil man. John Ossoff is running a great campaign. Some of his ads here in Georgia target Purdue’s dismissal of the Covid-19 virus.

[Magoo48]

15. Republican America, where it's cool for men who want to be taken seriously,

to bust out into schoolyard, playground speak.

[Gothmog]

17. Perdue is a racist asshole

[marble falls]

18. He should ask George Allen how that crap worked for him ...

[klook]

23. My first thought. (nt)

[JI7]

28. Now Virginia is blue

[marble falls]

29. I think George Allen was the first crack in the logjam.

[Hoyt]

32. Maybe Georgia will become like Virginia when it comes to that junk.

Hope it’s Nov 3.

[Maxheader]

20. One more nail...

That's one of the reasons Katherine Sibelius won her first term in Kansas...by ignoring her

male opponents' slander...

[Paladin]

21. Enjoy your public racism displays while you can, Perdue.

Because that kind of shit from elected officials is about to get crimped, big-time.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

22. Just like a Third Grader. nt

[OldBaldy1701E]

25. What else would you expect

from a 'chicken'? All of the rethug party have to do this because doing stupid, childish, sensational things is all they have left. It is time for the cheap parlor tricks because they have nothing else to offer, and they know they are going down. So, sew as much chaos as they can, fuel their base to keep them active, and, as with Obama, blame everything on Biden. This is a playbook they have used before, and even though one would hope that this time even this would not work in the face of reality, but as we all know about this rethugs and reality...

VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

[Mz Pip]

26. Senator David

Perdoobiedoobiedooo.

I can be obnoxious too, but I’m not running for anything.

[jcgoldie]

33. These fuckers do a rally with Trump

And they get caught up in the racist hysteria. They think they can get away with the ridiculous offensive insulting shit Trump does. Somehow he's the only one that gets away with it.
