Ex-Trump Adviser Peter Navarro Begs Fox News Hosts To Stop Referring to Kamala Harris by Her First Name Because ‘It Personalizes Her’

Former Trump administration adviser Peter Navarro begged conservative hosts at Fox News and Newsmax to stop referring to Vice President Kamala Harris by her first name on Tuesday, warning that the practice “personalizes” the vice president.

“Everybody associated with the Trump campaign, everybody out there who’s a commentator in conservative TV, radio, whoever you are. Sean [Hannity], Laura [Ingraham], Jesse [Watters], my brother Rob Schmitt, or Greg Kelly at Newsmax,” said Navarro on Steve Bannon’s War Room, Tuesday:

Here’s the thing, I am urging you from this day forward, never, ever, ever to refer to Kamala Harris by her first name. Only her first name. Kamala, Kamala, Kamala. She is not a soccer star, okay? Pelé, I get it. Messi, I get it. Okay? But when you use “Kamala” these days, it does not do us any good. Works in the other direction. It personalizes her and it creates a favorable impression.

He continued, “So stop doing that! Okay? No more Kamala. The only exception to that rule is if you use it with a Trump-like nickname. So, ode or homage to that famous pop music ‘Karma Chameleon,’ that’s not bad. ‘Kama-Liar,’ that’s not bad. But we’re having a wake-up right now, okay? We’re burying Kamala as a single-use name.”

Navarro then asked, “Think about it, when was the last time you heard somebody refer to Donald John Trump favorably or affectionately at all simply as ‘Donald’?” before adding, “So cut the ‘Kamala’ crap, okay? Cut the Kamala crap. Please pass that on.”

He concluded, “It’s not doing the Trump campaign a single bit of good to ever refer to this woman by her first name. She is not Pelé. She cannot bend them like Pelé or Beckham. She is not Messi. She is a mess, she is a hot mess, she is a hot, hot mess.”
