By Josh Israel -October 19, 2020 10:46 AM
David Perdue's racism is already proving costly.
At a rally for Donald Trump on Friday, Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) mocked Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) for her name. By Sunday, Perdue's Democratic opponent had raised nearly $2 million off of the racist comments.
Perdue intentionally mispronounced Harris' name at the Trump rally in Macon, Georgia.
"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," he said, drawing laughter from the rally's attendees.
"Well that is incredibly racist," Sabrina Singh, Harris' press secretary, responded in a tweet.
