    “Kamala Harris. You know it’s interesting nobody really knows her last name,” he said.

    “If you ask people, do you know what her last name is, nobody has any idea what it is,” continued the former president. “Harris. It’s like Harris.”

    “I don’t know, how the hell did this happen?”

    Is this a sign of dementia? Any doctor can confirm?

        Yeah, a kind of “where are you really from originally?” bullshit that most non-white people will have been asked at some point.

          Between that and him faking being Swedish, his family sure doesn’t want to be known as German.

      Definitely not something a person of sound mind would come up with.

      I’m not a doctor, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night. But no real medical professional would ever publicly confirm any actual diagnosis due to HIPPA concerns. What save you also saves him.

      But, feel free to speculate all you want to. HIPPA doesn’t cover speculation by non-medical people.

      Her husbands last name is Emhoff. Maybe he is referring to that? If Lemmy can’t understand him, what chance does his base?

        Is it a compulsory that a married female take on the male last name? Am from Asia and this isn’t practiced at all.

          It’s not compulsory though it’s widely practiced and probably used to be required for certain marriage arrangements.

          It’s becoming less common and many women will hyphenate their last name after marrying now.
