After I wrote my Kamala Harris shopping-spree piece here, deriding Harris's rude refusal to speak French to the locals at a fancy cookware shop in Paris, AT editor Thomas Lifson pointed out something important:
Kamala Harris actually ought to be able to speak French.
Here's how she did:
Turns out she was educated during her four high school years in Montreal, Canada, where her mother worked as a cancer researcher during the late 1970s, early 1980s. Montreal is Canada's top French-speaking city. In 1977, approximately just when she arrived, a law was passed in Quebec requiring the use of the French language. Apparently there were a lot of Kamalas around who weren't doing it. Despite that law, she still doesn't seem to have picked up any French.

The folks over near Quebec City are great and enjoy Americans. The folks around Montreal are insufferable.

Careful there. My mom’s side of the family traces back to the founding of Montreal.
So I agree completely with you

I’ll give her a pass on this one. I took 5 years of Spanish in middle/high school and can’t speak it now. Je ne sais pas. I studied French in high school for 1 year, and still remember a lot. I took it because the French teacher was a cute blonde with a small red sports car convertible - that's mostly what I remember.

Could it be because she’s even dumber than that Moron from Delaware?

There’s Parisian french.....taught in schools......spoken in France.
Quebecois speaking Canadian French is a completely different language.

It’s amazing how much they lie and exaggerate.

Just as the Spanish Mexicans speak makes Spaniards cringe.

Because she's a racist liar? Because her personal narrative is a concoction?

She knows French, she knows Ménage à trois (according to Willie Brown).
