A CNN panel featuring Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) quickly went to hell after the GOP Karen repeatedly mispronounced Vice President Kamala Harrisβs name.
Democratic strategist Keith Boykin and Vanderbilt University professor Michael Eric Dyson checked Mace on her alarming disrespect several times, to which the congresswoman replied, βI just did and Iβll do it againβ and βI will say Kamalaβs name any way that I want to.β

Mace is clearly taking a page out of Trumpβs playbook by mocking Harrisβs name. However, Dyson was swift and thorough with how he read Mace for complete filth.
βThis congresswoman is a wonderful human being,β Dyson began. βBut when you disrespect Kamala Harris by saying you will call her whatever you want, I know you donβt intend it to be that way, thatβs the history and legacy of white disregard for the humanity of Black people.β
In typical Karen fashion, Mace immediately played the victim.
βOh, so now youβre calling me a racist. That is B.S. That is complete B.S.β Mace claimed.
However, Dyson cleared the air as politely as possible: βI just said you werenβt a racist. No,β he retorted. βYou donβt have to intend racism to accomplish it. Your disrespect of Kamala Harris is part and parcel of a tradition.β
Things continued to go off the rails when Boykin told Mace to admit that she was in a βcultβ with her leader being Trump.
βThe fact that you talk to women this way is ridiculous,β Mace told Boykin.
βYou just talked about a Black woman that way,β Boykin replied.
βIn what way? She doesnβt know what a woman is,β Mace said, before host Abby Phillip wrapped up the program.
Boykin tweeted about the interview Friday morning: βThis is what the Republican Party has become,β he wrote.Β
