Various right-wing commentators operatives have been criticizing Kamala Harris for “code-switching.”

At Above the Law, Mark Herrmann notes the fatuousness of that attack. He writes

. . . don’t blame Kamala Harris for code-switching.

We all code-switch in endless situations.

Follow the link for his reasoning.

Afterthought:

Of course, to anyone who can decode de code, this criticism of Harris is a coded–you will pardon the expression–attempt to appeal to racists without sounding overtly racist.

If you want to hear some code-switching, watch an episode of Family Feud, then listen to Steve Harvey’s morning radio show. In these parts, you can catch it at 95.7 on the FM dial. (Do radios still have dials?)

Finally, this is website is a hobby.
