With his most recent remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, who has become the Democratic nominee in the wake of President Biden’s departure from the 2024 race, conservative commentator Alec Lace has sparked a flurry of controversy.
On July 5, Lace made a statement on Fox Business that described Harris as the “original Hawk Tuah Girl,” a word that has drawn widespread criticism for its insulting and cruel connotations.
The phrase” Hawk Tuah” is a result of a popular craze started by Tennessee-based online personality Hailey Welch and has a connection to oral sex.
The Fox Business tape featuring Lace’s notes quickly became popular, eliciting further debates about the restrictions of political conversation and the occurrence of discrimination in public discourse.
Despite the reaction, Lace defended his remarks, asserting that his analysis was aimed at the Biden-Harris administration’s plans rather than at Harris herself. ” Kamala Harris and the Biden presidency are destroying our state”, Lace argued. ” The last thing I’m worried about is whether my comments about Kamala’s rise to power are controversial”.
The response to Lace’s opinions has been sharp and harsh, receiving a lot of negative feedback from both the media and the general public. On social media platforms, critics have voiced their disapproval, leading Lace to respond with a sarcastic post on X ( formerly Twitter ), questioning whether his remarks were “going too far” or “right over the target.”
Lace continues to be unwavering in his position as the conversation progresses, and the video clip from his Fox Business looks continues to stoke debate and discussion.
