Vice President Harris was mocked online for debuting another "new accent" during a Congressional Black Caucus event Saturday night. 

"Hello to all of my Divine Nine brothers and sisters," Harris said at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C. "And to all my HBCU brothers and sisters." 

The account End Wokeness shared the clip on X, writing: "BREAKING: Kamala Harris unveils a new accent at the Black Caucus Dinner." 

"New? Or is it her old fake black accent?" X user Paul A. Szypula, who has more than 232,700 followers, responded. "Either way, it’s incredibly insulting to black people. Shame on Kamala." 

"NEW: Kamala Harris brings out her new accent at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 2024 Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington D.C.," Collin Rugg wrote to his 1.4 million followers, sharing the clip to X. "'Hello to all my divine… brothas and sistas… am my soro…' Kamala has brought out this new accent throughout the campaign at different times." 

"Kamala Harris accent du jor," columnist James Hirsen wrote to his 270,500 followers on X. 

KAMALA HARRIS RALLIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY REPEATING SAME SPEECH IN DIFFERENT ACCENTS

Other X users pointed to how Harris was raised in Canada but has broken out varying accents from around the United States depending on where she was campaigning. 

Harris' "Divine Nine" comment referenced how she was a member of a historically Black sorority while attending Howard University. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment Sunday. 

The vice president was panned earlier this month when side by side clips showed her seemingly using different accents while campaigning in Detroit and Pittsburgh, hours apart. 

Fox News' Peter Doocy confronted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the issue, asking, "Since when does the vice president have what sounds like a southern accent?" 

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Jean-Pierre said from the White House podium earlier this month. 

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

"I mean do you hear the question … I mean do you think Americans seriously think that this is an important question?" Jean-Pierre retorted. "They care – you know what they care about? They care about the economy. They care about lowering costs. They care about healthcare. That’s what Americans care about…"

Harris is attempting to court Black voters in the coming days. Speaking to the Congressional Black Caucus dinner right before her, President Biden talked about Harris as the first Black and South Asian woman vice president, and said, "God willing, she will become the first woman president of the United States of America." 

On Tuesday, Harris will sit with members of the National Association of Black Journalists in Philadelphia. On Thursday, she'll attend a live streamed rally headlined by Oprah Winfrey and involving groups such as "Win with Black Women," "White Women: Answer the Call," and "South Asians for Harris," according to the Associated Press.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Saturday he is being investigated over a decades-old story that he decapitated a dead whale and transported its skull across state lines.

Kennedy made the admission during a campaign event for former President Trump, saying he had received a letter last week. The report comes weeks after a left-wing environmental group resurfaced the whale story and called for an investigation.

"I received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Institute saying that they were investigating me for collecting a whale specimen 20 years ago," Kennedy said Saturday.

"This is all about the weaponization of our government against political opponents," he added.

Kennedy did not offer details about the incident, but it first became public thanks to a 2012 interview with Kennedy's daughter, Kick Kennedy, with Town and Country Magazine.

In the interview, Kick describes her father cutting the head off of a dead whale and strapping it to the roof of their vehicle, before driving from a beach in Massachusetts to Mount Kisco, New York.

The left-wing group, the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, had argued the dead animal was protected by the Marine Mammal Protection and Endangered Species, making it illegal to possess any part of it.

They further claimed that it was likely a felony violation of the 1900 Lacey Act, "which prohibits the transportation of any wildlife, dead or alive, that was reduced to possession in violation of any state, federal or international regulation or law."

"Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet," Kick told the magazine, saying the incident happened sometime around 1994.

"We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us," she added.

The Center for Biological Diversity resurfaced the story just days after Kennedy withdrew from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Trump.

The whale incident is not the only recent controversy involving Kennedy and dead animals. He also admitted to dumping the body of a dead bear in New York City's Central Park over a decade ago.

FIRST ON FOX: The mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants, is weighing in on the Texas Senate race as she blames Democratic policies for the loss of her daughter.

Jocelyn Nungaray from Texas was strangled and thrown off a bridge by two illegal immigrants in June, according to authorities. Two Venezuelans have since been charged with capital murder in connection with Nungaray's death.

In a new campaign ad, shared first with Fox News Digital, Alexis Nungaray details the tragic killing of her young daughter by Venezuelan nationals who illegally crossed the southern border.

Nungaray said that her "heart would break again" if Democratic Texas Senate candidate Rep. Colin Allred, who is running against Sen. Ted Cruz, wins the election in November.

According to police, Jocelyn Nungaray was strangled and thrown off a bridge by two illegal immigrants in June. 

BIDEN-HARRIS OPEN BORDER POLICY FREED ILLEGAL 3 WEEKS BEFORE JOCELYN NUNGARAY MURDER, MOTHER SAYS

"Jocelyn was murdered by two illegal migrants, each released on the same days they were detained. Not even 30 days later, she was found down there in the bayou. She had no pants on. They bounded her feet, and they just left her, like nothing. All because of that policy, catch and release," she said in the new campaign ad, which was released by the Win It Back PAC, a Club for Growth-affiliated fundraising group.

Nungaray pointed to Allred's policies for the implications of the ongoing migrant crisis.

"And Colin Allred pushing that policy ultimately took my daughter's life. Her going away from her graduation, her having kids. If Colin Allred is elected, my heart would break again. It really would. Allred didn't kill my daughter, but his policies are why she's dead."

Allred previously addressed Nungaray's murder by calling it a "tragedy" and then attempted to deflect blame by accusing Cruz of using the murder as a "political attack."

Nungaray testified before the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month regarding her daughter's death where she slammed the Biden-Harris administration's border policy. 

"Because of the Biden-Harris administration open border policies, catch and release, they were enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program," Nungaray told lawmakers. "This meant that they were released into the United States. It was not even a full three weeks later that they would take my daughter Jocelyn Nungaray’s life."

"They saw a young girl, my daughter Jocelyn, and placed a target on her without her even knowing," she said, referring to the murder suspects. "They were seen on video at 12:57 a.m. on June 17th, walking across the street down by the bayou under the bridge, at 3:04, for only the two illegal immigrants emerged. They were down there for two whole hours. I can't even fathom what was going through Jocelyn's mind, the amount of fear she was feeling in the last moments of her life.

Democratic congressional candidate Monica Tranel appears to be changing her tune on the fentanyl crisis this cycle after previously suggesting that the deadly drug was not coming from the southern border.

Tranel, the Democratic candidate running in Montana's First Congressional District against Republican incumbent Rep. Ryan Zinke, recently released a campaign ad appearing tough on the border.

However, during her first congressional bid in 2022, Tranel claimed that the border crisis is unrelated to fentanyl trafficking while debating Zinke at the City Club Missoula.

"It is a significant issue where we are, but where it is coming from is not the southern border," Tranel said of fentanyl during the debate. "It's being made in China, and how it's getting here is a complex series of things that are happening, and shutting down the border is not going to reduce the fentanyl crisis."

Shortly after Tranel's remarks at the debate, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that 36 million lethal doses of fentanyl had been removed from American communities between May to September 2022, with 35 cases linking directly to Mexican cartels.

As she makes another bid for the Republican-held seat in 2024, Tranel is appearing to shift her stance on the issue.

"We have a real crisis at the border," Tranel said in a new campaign ad posted on X in September. "We need to secure the border, hire more border patrol agents, and go after the drug cartels to stop the flow of illegal drugs like fentanyl."

"Trainwreck Tranel is talking tough on the border now that it’s an election year, but Montanans know she will work directly under the Harris-Walz banner to unleash more crime and border chaos on Montanans while also supporting boys to play in girls sports," Madison Atkinson, Montana GOP spokesperson, told Fox News Digital in a statement.

In fiscal year 2023 alone, Border Patrol agents reported seizing enough fentanyl to kill the entire U.S. population.

Asked about the previous comment regarding fentanyl, Tranel told Fox News Digital that "we need to secure our border and solve the fentanyl crisis."

"We need to increase resources for border patrol and go after the cartels trafficking fentanyl, both in China and at the border," she told Fox. "The border bill would have increased resources for detection and stopping fentanyl from coming in. I support that bill and would have voted for it. Stopping the supply side of fentanyl is critical, and keeping it from coming in across any border is also critical. As a member of Congress, I would have voted to get that done. Ryan Zinke could have voted for that bill but did not, in order to play games and campaign on the issue rather than solve it."

"The border isn’t secure, and no one – including Rep. Zinke – has actually gotten the job done to fix it," Tranel said. "I’ll stand up to any Democrat or Republican who gets in the way. While Zinke cozies up to special interests and China, I’m focused on protecting our communities and stopping the flow of illegal drugs. Keeping Montana safe is more important than politics." 

The House of Representatives is expected to vote early this week on a roughly $3 billion veterans supplemental funding bill, Fox News Digital has learned.

It comes as Congress is barreling toward an Oct. 1 partial government shutdown deadline with no agreement between Republicans and Democrats on federal spending in the next fiscal year. 

Rep. Mike Garcia, R-Calif., who is spearheading the veterans bill, is hopeful that his legislation has enough critical support to keep it free from the political quagmire of fiscal year 2025 funding.

"In the fray and chaos of all the election drama and all the [funding] drama…there are still members, you know, in a bipartisan fashion, making sure that our veterans are taken care of," Garcia told Fox News Digital.

"And we just need the Senate and the president to understand that value as well, and when they do that, we'll fix the problem."

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) warned Congress in July that it was about $3 billion short of the funding it needed for the current fiscal year, ending Sept. 30, and about $12 billion short of its projected needs in the following one. 

The VA is warning that a failure to pass the added funds by Sept. 20 could mean that 7 million veterans could be left without benefits by Oct. 1.

"I would never just write a blank check to a federal agency that's underperforming and, you know, effectively overrunning their accounts," Garcia explained. "It is something that affects not just the 7 million veterans, but also the families and everyone around depending on those checks."

And those 7 million veterans, he said, "would lose their pension benefits, they would lose their GI bill benefits, the college tuition assistance."

JOHNSON UNVEILS TRUMP-BACKED HOUSE GOP PLAN TO AVOID GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, SETS UP BATTLE WITH SCHUMER

Garcia’s bill also includes a mandate for the VA to issue a report on the shortfall to Congress, and future accountability reporting guardrails to ensure continuing funds are managed properly. It would also force the VA secretary to report to lawmakers on any future budget estimate changes. 

He ascribed the budget shortfall to "mismanagement and bad budgeting from the VA and probably, you know, not managing other accounts correctly that have affected these VA benefits."

For its part, the VA pointed to increased demand for its health care and passage of the PACT Act as reasons for the shortfall.

The House vote is expected early this week. Lawmakers return to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday afternoon, when they will have less than 10 working days to solve the broader government funding issue before the partial shutdown deadline.

JOHNSON UNVEILS TRUMP-BACKED HOUSE GOP PLAN TO AVOID GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, SETS UP BATTLE WITH SCHUMER

Government funding has been a political lightning rod that has caused some of the largest political upheavals of the 118th Congress.

A planned vote on a short-term fiscal year 2024 funding extension, called a continuing resolution (CR), was delayed in the face of intra-GOP strife last week and is expected to possibly get a vote this week as well.

Garcia maintained that his veterans supplemental funding bill and the wider federal spending fight were on parallel legislative tracks, but admitted he did worry about the former effort getting sandbagged by the latter.

"Because this turns into a pumpkin on Sept. 20, we don't really have time to tie this to a CR package. And I would suggest to leadership, which I have, that we shouldn't use our veterans as political leverage for other legislative initiatives," he said.

The House bill is co-led by senior GOP lawmakers House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., and House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Mike Bost, R-Ill.

It comes after a similar legislative push was mounted in the Senate in August.
