We’re so old we remember when mispronouncing a person’s name could be considered racist:
David Perdue is just gross.
He mispronounced @KamalaHarris' name just now warming up the stage for @realDonaldTrump to score race-baiting, cheap political cheers. pic.twitter.com/kiLmn8682A

And did you catch the part where he got HHS wrong, too? Joe, there is no “Secretary of Health and Education Services”:
Joe Biden defeated AGAIN by the Teleprompter.
"For Secretary of Health and Education Services, I nominate Xavier Bacheria."
Joe Biden is a mess.
It's Health and Human Services.
And it's Xavier Becerra.
Biden doesn't know the the cabinet office or name of the official. pic.twitter.com/5joLVKgdcc
